'70 Challenger T/A model
« on: April 29, 2009 - 07:03:23 PM »
I finished this model a while ago. I still need to repaint the hood as it's not to my liking. Also have to install the photoetched hood pins. The engine compartment was pretty bare so I added some things from my parts box. Enjoy!!! :2thumbs:

You did a hell of a job on that car!  I have the same kit stashed away here at the house.  I like the overspray on the undercariage.  Gives it the real look!  The paint looks awesome on it!  I know you spent a lot of time getting it just right!   

Way to go bro!  Im very impressed!  I got a Superbee I have been working on for 12 years.  I guess Im just taking my time.  Congrats to you bro!   :woo:   :2thumbs:

The only thing I would suggest is add spark plug wires, heater hoses from the block and generic wireing along the fire wall.

Thanks Don! I bought the kit back in March 2008. I started the kit around May 2008 or so. I put a lot of time into it. Interior tub is flocked (carpeting) and everything. I'm still teaching myself how to do spark plug wires ;)

I used black thicker button thread for Spark Plug wires & wiring of differnt colors
 I have used needles for hood pins turn signal arms etc , I have even installed smaller steel wire for fuel & brake lines
 Good Job  :2thumbs:

    Looks great Cody. That's my second favorite model to do (71 Cuda--#1) .  I have'nt been doing much building lately as I am trying to get my car repainted by July or so. How's the latest diorama coming along?

Not bad. You do have a lot of orange peel in the paint though. Its drying too fast. The paint isn't getting time to lay down and smooth itself out.

Looks pretty good and you will keep better all the time.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

A polishing kit with several grades of polishing papers would be all that it would take to get a mirror finish quickly!

Nice job!  models are great when you can't afford the real thing or don't have space for a real car.  (I have both problems!  :bricks1: )

I like models too.  The 2nd and 3rd pic in my signature is from a model I did.

The white letter tires on yours look very nice! :thumbsup: Are they decals?  :clueless:
