1974 plymouth GTX

[diymirage]

wasnt planning on building this one just yet but i want to polish the paint very nicely before i put her together so i decided to lay down some spray

the paint is duplicolor gunmetal which has crazy much flake in it

(it will be a week or two before i am ready to actually build this car so that will be plenty of time for the paint to cure before i polish it)

i want this car to look like a modern rebuild of a classic car

some of my options will include lowered front suspension (maybe with donor parts)

street radials and a slightly modified engine that will still allow the hood to close

in the detail painting i am planning on blacking out some lights, the sidemarkers for sure, maybe the heads and tails

window trim will be black

let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions

almost 2 months later and shes coming together pretty nicely

everything is just mocked up because i still want to tint the windows

other then that, all that is left to do is aply one or two more coats of clear and buff the snot out of it

oh yeah, i also need to finish detail painting the rear end

the kit came together very nicely, my only real complaint would be that it did not come with the same decals as the box art car had.

it did come with some optional parts i did not expect, there was the installed aircleaner, the massive wing and a fully chromed steering wheel, aswell as bucket seats and a 3 paint roll bar

i think it looks good like this aswell though, the "plymouth GTX" decals belonged to the car, the "plymouth" windshield banner was left over from the hemi cuda, plates came out of the parts box and the *440* came from the 68 charger streetmachine

this was also the first time a tried flocking an interior and even though all i had was tiny sand i think it looks pretty decent.
