Mopar - D Posted July 31, 2024 Author Share Posted July 31, 2024 Thanks Carl. Worked on the spoiler and hood scoops plus the wheels. Looks like the weather may let me get some painting done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted August 3, 2024 Author Share Posted August 3, 2024 The weather has been holding out for me to paint and I’m buffing out the clear coat. I’m not sure now if I want to add the hood stripes or not. Should I go with the stripe delete or add them? Let me know what I should do. Thanks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyB Posted August 4, 2024 Share Posted August 4, 2024 IMHO I think it needs the stripes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted August 4, 2024 Author Share Posted August 4, 2024 Thanks Len, I tried painting the stripes on but they didn’t work for me so I’m going with decals and paint to make them correct. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted August 6, 2024 Author Share Posted August 6, 2024 I’ve BMF and started applying some of the decals plus test fitting some of the hoses in the engine bay. I should have this one done in a couple days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModelcarJR Posted August 6, 2024 Share Posted August 6, 2024 Looking good, Dan! I dullcoted my decals for the hood before I applied them. Watch out for those hood darts as they can make the decal application a bit tricky! ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted August 6, 2024 Share Posted August 6, 2024 Looks really good and the dullcoat really helps. I used Fred Cady decals on my hood as the shape of the Revell are not quite correct. The bad news on the Cady decals for the hood that they were very brittle and as John says above watch out for the hood darts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave, I’ve corrected the stripes on the section between the windshield and hood I’m hoping my flat black paint will match up with the decals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted August 7, 2024 Author Share Posted August 7, 2024 Today I finished buffing the white paint and added the stripes on the hood and the hood darts were a pain to work with. I’m still going to use the side strips they will be next and then the little loose ends. The chassis is just test fitted I will glue it up after the body is on it. I appreciate everyone’s comments! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted August 8, 2024 Author Share Posted August 8, 2024 I’ve been able to get it on its wheels now and have some little odds and ends to finish up before sending it to Under Glass. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
