crazyrichard Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 just got it flat again .. now i made some more changes , removed the smal triangle windows , the whole raised line that runs under the side windows and on the top of the door and rear quarter / wing , removed the moldings on de top side of the rood and removed the molding between the roof and body .. also cleaned the airvent ... i reconed that fits in the clean and modern theme .. also easyer with sanding the last primer off
crazyrichard Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 either i put like 19 inch modern rims under it (need to buy those) or i go this route >> ford gt 40 tyres , gt 40 rim lip with the original charger rim ... not sure yet
om617 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Are those 14" or 15" ? Pegasus have some nice aluminium rings with tires you mount 15" in and get 19". Also i would recomend to check out this: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83967
Speedfreak Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Richard, I think the GT40 rims would look good on this car. But, maybe once the Charger rims are detailed they'll come to life, just some thoughts. This build has much potential.
Harry P. Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 ... btw this is about the style i want Wow. That is one good looking car! Why don't today's cars look like that?
Danno Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Why don't today's cars look like that? Two words: Federal. Government.
TFchronos Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Amazing build and work here Richard, it's gonna be a real show stopper.
crazyrichard Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 thnx guys and om617 whow those look awsome .. i found something similair in germany .. foose wheels in 19" but when i was ordering and the total amount showed with shipping and tax i was like whooowi mean it would be the same ammount to buy a real nice new kit .. so if i would source a kit with rims that fit my charger i have a whole kit left and then i would put some different rims on that ...
crazyrichard Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 i decided even though my previous build also was painted black to put black on the body , silver or black are the best colors ... maybe i will get silver and do a two tone ..not sure yet
crazyrichard Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 yes that is what i figured and especially on a charger , with cleat that will pop so nice after the previous post i cleaned up the grille a bit and held the rim i put together by the car ...i think it needs nice 19" wheels this for me looks to stock , not the look i was after dryfitted it with the grille and hood , loosely in there still but it looks nice i think
crazyrichard Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 hmm not yet after 2 coats of hogh gloss clear it will really come alive
om617 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 thnx guys and om617 whow those look awsome .. i found something similair in germany .. foose wheels in 19" but when i was ordering and the total amount showed with shipping and tax i was like whooow i mean it would be the same ammount to buy a real nice new kit .. so if i would source a kit with rims that fit my charger i have a whole kit left and then i would put some different rims on that ... The products Mike DeLuco produce are just as nice if not nicer then Scale Production,also he will not rip you off on shipping. I wanted to get some small details form SC,but when i checked total i had to cancel as well. Charger is looking great.
BirdWatcher Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Those bumpers really look great, apologies in advance....I may have to do something similar.Keep up the good work!

crazyrichard Posted March 29, 2014 Author Posted March 29, 2014 a while back i got some bmf from somebody i know , i had gold , chrome and dark chrome .. the chrome didnt stick i think it was to old .. the black chrome was fine but that turns black .. so i rubbed of the black and had nice bmf .. it went well ... but ... i removed some trim like on the side and under the front window .. wanting a smooth body and more modern .. so in the end i removed the bmf and i will keep that black so now just blak .. placed the rt logo in between the tail lights and put in the reverse lights , they are deeper inside with a chrome reflectorbehind the lens washed the fuel cap with black .. i should have made that sit flush with the body would have been nicer sunk the kit provided 3-d chrome r/t logos i put 2 on the front wings and one on the hood and washed them with black
crazyrichard Posted March 29, 2014 Author Posted March 29, 2014 gave all the chrome and engine a wash for more depth and just sprayed on the clear coat .. that really makes it come to life and those r/t logos really pop now
