Green Go Challenger

[93Z34]

This is the Green Go Challenger I mentioned earlier. I found this kit partially assembled in a box on the shelf and decided to pull it out and put some color on the body and see how it turns out. I chose the green because you don't see many T/A Challengers in this color and i like the more obscure paint schemes that came out way back when...

I cut the exhaust apart into two seperate assemblies to give the underside a more realistic appearance and I will block sand the color coat in preperation for the clearcoat. This car will have a black interior with woodgrain accents. Again, I'm doing little things to make this car a bit more realistic. Things like an antenna, seperate exhausts, and other little things to try and make this car more realistic in appearance. Hope you enjoy the pics...

Very nice color choice! I painted my own Challenger in orange, but next one is going to be plum crazy purple Ill start to make it after finishing those 2 Chevys.

I've got a few more Challenger projects myself including a Hemi Orange and Plum Crazy version as well as a white and black one. I just wish I could find some white T/A decals.

Sounds cool! Its wrong that you get only black decals in some kits! Like Shelby GT500 `07 kit does have white, blue and black decals, but red decals would be cool too :lol: I love Challengers, im going to build them more in future and its nice to see someone building them

Looking great so far! I built one awhile back this same color. Good choice!

If you did, they would have to be custom, as black was the only color stripes used on the real ones. Even black T/As had black stripes.

I know Tom. I saw one Challenger years ago that had white stripes against the black paint. That was one sweet looking car and a combo the factory should have made available, if you ask me. The black stripe is too subdued on the black T/A Challengers. That's ok though because I'm a huge fan of replica stock building so the black stripes will have to do.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The body was wetsanded this morning and is air drying and awaiting clearcoating. Hopefully I'll be able to tackle this tonight once the body is dry. I will be tackling the engine as well this afternoon and finishing that up as that was almost completely assembled when I found the kit. Just need to add fuel lines, plug wiring, and so forth to the engine to give it a bit more realism. Stay tuned!
