Re: WIP: Kasey Kahne's '06 MOPAR Dodge Charger

Thanks guys......


Lots of progress since the last update. I've been doing more building that picture taking so I figured it was time to take a break and get some pics shot.

All of the front suspension is now complete. I scratch built a new set of front shocks, added front spindle tether cords, brake lings and calipers, as well as all the tie rods and front sway bar arms.







The rear suspension is also finished finally. Added the rear break calipers, chains, and rear shocks. The exhaust is also finished and installed. I built it from plumbers solder and sheet plastic. I shot it with various Alclads and give it a wash in a few areas to darken the seems.





Jumping back to the interior, I started getting the dash detailed. I made face plates from embossing metal, JWTBM gauge decals, and topped off with MCG PE rings and Tamiya jar clear for the lenses. All the small decals on the dash and interior were printed out on my Alps.





And finally a few with the body on to see what it will look like in a few more days. I've got about a week to get it wrapped up before the trip to Milwaukee for the NNL. A good day tomorrow, and I think I'll make it!







Thanks for looking!
