Johan 1968 Chrysler 300 convertible. The car that almost was

[gtx6970]

Started off as a red with red int 80s issue Johan friction promo.

For an all duplicolor  rattle can refresh/ I think it turned out pretty good , IMO of course.

Its a replica of a project car I bought about out of a northern KY junkyard ( it had been in a flood ) 15-20 years ago. Lost it in a fire about 10 years ago

 

Any comments good or bad. Im ok with . 

But it feels good to get one done and in the case after a long hiatis away.

It will come back out of the case in the near future to detail the hubcaps and the side spear/vents with some highlighter.

Thanks for cking it out

Great looking Chrisler.  I like the black & red.

[Kah puts]

That’s a pearl ?

[bogger44]

That looks great to me.  Those 300's had such beautiful, clean lines.  You can never go wrong with that color combo either.

Looks really good

[charger74]

Very nice

[Falcon Ranchero]

Awesome car; I really like the display case, too

[karbuildr]

That is one sweet open air ride. Nothing like a big boat of a convertible in black and red.

very nice, well done

Great looking paint finish and interior. These early friction cars had very good body proportions.

Nice save, Johan had such nice bodies, it's good to see them turn up, nice effort to get it where it is.

[Supernurd]

A real classic. ?

[Moparman18064]

Looks fantastic, it belongs in a case! You can’t go wrong with the black/ red combo!

[gtx6970]

Thaks all for the kind words

Very nice Chrysler, your colour choices give it a presidential look. Well done Bill. 

Cheers, 

David. ??

Very nice!

[Mopar - D]

Excellent build Bill, the 68 300 is one of my favorite years for the 300. I wish that Chrysler had kept up with the letter cars.
