StevenGuthmiller Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks guys! I think I may have to set up something in my shop for photographing finished builds. The lighting is pretty good & there's enough clutter to give some good reflections so the paint can show off. It's a thought. Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks Guys! I've managed to get the interior very close to finished today. All the foiling & detail work is done, as well as the carpet flocking. Just a few minor touches & some assembly & it will be done. Steve
Tom Geiger Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Looks great Steve, especially working within the constraints of an old school interior tub!
om617 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Very nice work. Have to be Houdini to be able to foil inside that tub lol
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Very nice work. Have to be Houdini to be able to foil inside that tub lol Thanks guys!! I have a little trick for that Tommy. I cut very thin strips of foil with a straight edge for the long thin strips, & then position them in place. That way I don't have to "contort" myself into unnatural positions to try to get them cut straight. Steve
John Goschke Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 That's going to be a stunner with it's finished, Steve! You really brought that interior to life.
MJStyline Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Absolutely love the paint! Very inspirational, I'll have to dig up the '65 I have buried somewhere. I love the lines of the '65s and owned 2, a 300 (non-letter) "beater" hard top and a New Yorker. I acquired the built-up kit when I had the the 300 and almost replicated my 1:1 but I'm thankful I didn't head in that direction...
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 Thanks guys! Mark I love the mid 60s 300s as well. I had a red '67 hardtop in high school. Personally, I've always thought the '66 was the sexiest looking 300 they ever produced! I'd probably get a lot of blow back on that opinion, but it is my opinion. I have one of those in my stash coming up also.
Mopar - D Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Steve your interior is going to look perfect when you get it all assembled. Looks good already with all the the prices spread out can't wait to see it together.
Tom Geiger Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 A 1966 Chrysler story... back in the summer of 1976 my friend picked up a '66 Chrysler 4 door sedan. It was that dark green that many of them were, but it had a red hood on it. His father soon after got a '66 Chrysler 2 door hardtop, dark green and irony was that it also had a red hood. I had an accident with my '66 Valiant, which was silver, and I wound up putting a red hood on it. So we formed "The Red Hood Club", a secret society. People would ask why we both had red hoods and we'd tell them that it was a secret and they'd have to have one to know about it! We still kid about this today!
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 25, 2015 Author Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Well, I'm getting pretty close to finishing this project. The interior is done, & the engine will follow closely. After that, just odds & ends & miscellaneous details. Hoping to finish up sometime this week. If not it'll be a couple of weeks. Leaving on vacation Saturday! WOO-HOO!!

doggie427 Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Outstanding interior Steve. Love all your builds.
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Here's a few shots of the 413 engine featuring decals from Tommy Logan, aka. "Roadhawg". Steve
slusher Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Great looking interior and engine. X2 awesome work Steve...
Mopar - D Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Steve nice engine looks like it's ready to be started up.
peekay Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Really nice work on both assemblies - this one is going to be great!
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 For those of you who followed this build & encouraged me, thank you! I put the final touches on it tonight, but it was far too late to set up for any pictures. So I'll shoot for some photos in "Under Glass" tomorrow night. This is my first build for 2015 & I'm pleased that I made my tentative February 1st deadline. I'll be in Cancun Mexico next week, so I look forward to possibly following what's going on around here from a beach chair with a tequila in my hand! Thank you all! Steve
