'67 Coronet Hemi R/T

Just finished this one up. It's an old project that I started years ago when someone asked how to fix the drooping rear section. I hatched a plan, hacked it up, put it back together, got it painted, didn't like it, stripped it, got it back in primer and lost interest for years. When I canned it, all I had left to do was paint the body, bumpers and assemble it with a few added details. So, there wasn't a lot of work left to do. I painted the body with Model Masters Dark Bronze, Tamiya Pure White with Tamiya Clear and gave it a quicky polish. I added wheels and tires from the Revell '32 Ford. Also added a few photos etch pieces to finish it off.

Great looking '67 R/T.  Had a friend back then in '67 who had a black on black Street Hemi. Car had incredible power. Funny story, if you were in the passenger seat during speed shifting the glove box door would pop open with every shift and hit you on the knees.

Another beauty Roger !  Dang those wheels and tires look great on everything ! :D

Thanx! I'm actually thinking about going back to the Keystones I had on it originally or using the Magnums from the kit on the front with a pair from the Buick GSX on the rear.

Roger, the surgery you performed to correct the droopy rear makes for a big improvement, I'm currently working on one of these and the rear end on these is a disappointment but am building it as-is.  I have always liked your building style, and this one is no exception.  Nice work and glad you brought it back to the bench and were able to finish it.
