mikemopar70 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Hi folk's Here's my new kid on the block! MPC kit (Round2), plum crazy PPG paint with black vinyl top. I've put on the new AMT parts pack goodyear, they're gorgeous!! Since these pics, i've polished it and done the Bare-Metal, pictures to come soon!
Mopar - D Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I like your colors and the BMF will add a nice touch to top it off.
FASTBACK340 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Hey, thats pretty nice! Looking forward to more. Edited February 24, 2014 by FASTBACK340
mikemopar70 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Here's a few updates on my work in progress.. I've polished the clearcoat, and applied Bare-Metal. Of course i've done some parts under the car, but wasn't able to take pictures at this moment!! Now, i'm on my way to complete the interior!! See you!!
Belair2k Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Looks stunning; anxious to see the finished model.
GeeBee Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Looking good, I built this model back in '93, I bought it from the Ertl outlet in Dyersville, sadly along with some other models, it got damaged in a house move, still trying to get my hands on another .....

This model is still available from Round 2, i made mine with this reissue. It's very good in quality and above all, molded in white.
freakshow12 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I like this a lot. I have several of them. One unique one I want to do is a replica of a 1:1 in my area. It's panther pink with a white painted top ( not vinyl) white stripes and white interior. It's a 440 4 speed. Beautiful car
GeeBee Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 This model is still available from Round 2, i made mine with this reissue. It's very good in quality and above all, molded in white. Amt or Mpc kits are not so easy to find this side of the pond ....
mikemopar70 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Here's an update on my Bee! I fixed the decals, i experienced a problem and waste a set of the white c-stripe, i had to pick a new one on my second Super Bee kit, i shot some decal bonder from Testor's before this time and it worked out well.. I'm on my way for the final assemblies... Here's a shot of the chassis with rear exhausts and differential completed. And a final shot of my quarter c-stripe decal... See you next time, i hope it will be completed!! It will be for sure for NNL East!!
1 bad55 stan Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 That is a mint looking paint job,the build looks great choice..
Baugher Garage Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Wow! How did you do that vinyl top?? Was the body already textured or did you have to craft that yourself? Looks awesome Mike!
mikemopar70 Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Wow! How did you do that vinyl top?? Was the body already textured or did you have to craft that yourself? Looks awesome Mike! Thanks for the kind comments!! I made the vinyl top myself with evergreen pastic strips and textured paint from Rust-O-Leum!
ratdoggy Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Thanks for the kind comments!! I made the vinyl top myself with evergreen pastic strips and textured paint from Rust-O-Leum! Which rustoleum paint?
Michael in Illinois Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 What size strips did you use for the moldings on the B pillar for the vinyl top?
