mrmike Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 This is my '67 Hemi GTX painted with Testors Fiery Orange and rolls on Pegasus Chrome T's.
ModlerChris1987 Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Beautiful car, how did you get the wheels to fit on it? I have some that I want to put on my dart
freakshow12 Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 May I ask what base color under the orange or just grey sealer? On my super bee I am going this color and may try a gold base
John Teresi Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Michael.........cool build........like the color too.
bbowser Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Very cool. Without the hood scoop it would be a sleeper!
mrmike Posted June 1, 2013 Author Posted June 1, 2013 Thank you guys for the nice comments! After posting the pictures of the GTX, I noticed the sloppy job I did on the rear panel, so I removed the panel, cleaned up the slop and re-installed the panel. Beautiful car, how did you get the wheels to fit on it? I have some that I want to put on my dart I got the wheels to fit by drilling out the wheel mount until the wheel fit over the axle stubs. I had to trim the flange on the brake rotors so the wheel would fit as close to the suspension as possible. May I ask what base color under the orange or just grey sealer? On my super bee I am going this color and may try a gold base I primered the body with Krylon white primer and then painted the body with Testors Fiery Orange One Coat Lacquer. I used no base color. The Fiery Orange is a very metallic color with lots of pigment. I didn't like this paint when I first bought it several years ago and after talking with other builders who have had issues with this paint like I had, I decided to change way I sprayed by using more mist coats and gradually built up the color. I didn't use any gloss coat, but I did give the paint a light polishing with Meguiar's Scratch X 2.0.
