Thanks Al! This project has been on the bench for too long! Time to get it finished and on the display shelf!

I added my license plate to the rear bumper and in the process of doing so, I broke the joint between the bumper and valance panel. A little glue and hopefully I have the correct angle and it is correct. I painted the taillights with Tamiya X-27 Clear Red and Tamiya XF-2 Flat White. I added the radiator and detailed the engine compartment. The interior has been painted and ready for the glass to be installed.

More Plymouth to come...

I wish I could have gotten hold of a can of that before they stopped making it.

Check some of the other paint manufacturers. They might have something close to the actual paint color.

I installed the chassis into the body and added my heater hoses. This took me some finagling as the chassis didn't want to move forward like it should. I think the issue was the engine fan and the radiator were hitting each other.

This is my '71 Roadrunner 440 painted with Model Master Green Go aka Sassy Grass Green with a Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black and embossing powder for carpet. I removed the center console and added a column shifter and tachometer. I cut up the bucket seats and added the seating surfaces to a JoHan bench seat and split the seat back. I used the decals and wheels and tires to the Fast & Furious Dom's GTX for my Roadrunner.
