Dodge Sidewinder Custom FINISHED! (Better pics today!)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Got her done last night and polished out tonight.........impressions of the kit: It is fun to build until you get to fitting all the body parts together, even with hours of mockup on this the hood still does not fit perfectly. The taillight section is a joke to get glued on without getting any bubbles under the smoked clear parts (which is why I painted mine black...I just could not take it anymore!!!) :blink:

All in all though, it came together into something I dont mind displaying. The paint/clear is 8 coats thick: of HOK Kandys and Pearls (gold and blue) and of course clearcoat.....then wetsanded with 3000 to 13000 grit and polished with Plast-x and Meguiar's Mirror Glaze High tech Yellow wax. (My fingers are sore....)

Better pics will come when there is ambient sunlight, but for now........here you go!

Great looking build Ken! I got one of those off of ebay, cheap, a few months ago or so. Thanks for mentioning some of the trouble spots with the kit. Just don't know when I'll get around to it.
