mrm Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Not a fan of the color, but this is amazing work indeed. I like the great engineering effort put into this project and the execution seems flawless so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpro Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Really appreciate all the great comments everyone and thanks for following along. Been slow at the bench due to nice weather and the honey do list. Got a couple hour's in tonight and worked on the tail end getting the bmf applied. I Filled the tail lamp housings again and then did the lip of the housing. And then finished off with the trim under the trunk lid and down the sides...... And here's with the lenses set in the housing. The right hand lens don't fit to well. I'll see if that can be fixed. I stripped the chrome off of the blower. Then I cut a small piece of brass rod to mount the pulley to. The hole on the front of the blower was opened up to fit the rod and the piece glued in. The last pic is what I'm thinking of using to top off this hemi, but I'm not sure yet. More to come and thanks for looking........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedpro Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Been a couple weeks since a update. Just haven't had much time to build lately. Worked on the blower some more. I made the blower bigger as it looked to small when the engine was in the car. Took some sheet styrene and glued them together. I then shaped it and attached it to the back of the blower and added the end plate. Made the adapter that the injector hat and fuel lines go to also.......... Ended up painting the blower body color and wrapped the adapter with BMF. Before the blower was mounted to the engine I added a coil to finish the ignition. Here's a pic of the engine...... And in the engine bay............ Got the wheels mounted to the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 whouw what a build .. from a very simple kit version to this .. looks stunning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbs Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 awesome looking. the color really pops on that charger. take another look at your frame supports in the engine bay, they may be positioned where the radiator core support goes... of course I am going back to read the rest of the posts to see if you are actually using the core support. if it is, just trim the core support around the bracing. love those weld wheels, have a set on my 1:1 and 1 1/25 set that just sit in the box waiting to be mounted to something. nice to see pro streeters alive and well.

Dragfreak Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Absolutely beautiful work! extremely clean building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparWoman Jamie Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 and people say these kits don't come out nice, I have to disagree... If you take the time to build it right, you can make any kit look down right great. I think this build is looking great so far, I too love the color of it.
