gtx6970 Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) So glad this one is finally off the workbench . Waht started of to be a simple wekend build turned into a major pain in the @&%$ . Painted and stripped , twice. The 2 layer decals the registration was off ever so slightly, causing there own issues . Even now the body has crazing in the plastic under the paint that didn't show till it was decaled and cleared. At that point I just wanted it done and in the case so I could move on. Nothing special details wise but a MAD pre-wired dist I'll add some more pictures over the weekend. Edited May 18, 2013 by gtx6970
my name is nobody Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 I think it's terrific....... but I love B body mopars anyway. on a previous thread you mentioned this model came in White. That would make it a White Lightning.....a chase type model from that particular manufacturer (Polar Lights/ Playing Mantis). I would have loved to have it.
W-409 Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Nice build of a great subject! The paint looks very good, even if you had some troubles with it and overall finishing is truly amazing, very clean work.
PARTSMARTY Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 LOOKS VERY COOL-I'M GONNA RESTORE A POLAR LIGHTS 65 DODGE CORONET CONV.
Keef Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 looks good, i have 4 of these kits, 1 in every color offered by Polar Lights, red, black, white, and a cream color
gtx6970 Posted May 19, 2013 Author Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks all. I really appreciate it . It started out as one of the Poloar Lights pearl white snap kits. I added the Hemi heads and crossram intake from the parts box ( I think it's Johan pieces) With the hood scoop i think is from the Lindberg 64 Dodge . Paint is a chrysler light gold from a Duplicolor rattle can with a rattle can urethane clear. Interior is dark primer base with a Tamaya Champange gold top coat , with silver and black accents . A MAD pre-wired dist and called it done Edited May 19, 2013 by gtx6970
