Let us be the judge of the cock-up

OK....I'm back after my little out burst.
I've beaten up the kids/slapped the wife/killed the animals, so i feel better now !!!!...j/k

Its drying alot better then i thought it would and after thinking a bit more clearly. I may just wait a few days and then give it a light sand with 1200 then 1600 grit paper then use rubbing compound to polish it back up. FINGERS CROSSED
Dont really want to strip the whole car as the rest is looking good.

Nah, you shouldn't need to! Once the paint has settled, the scratch marks from rubbing the run out should polish out!

I dunno! These amatures!

Yeah it will now that i've calmed down.
It's not as bad as i thought and it should sand out.

I apologize for my outburst on here.....its just been one of those days

Update.
Have left the body to harden up before i lightly sand the runs.
Taken some pics but you can hardly notice it in the pics.

What happen is the paint must have run off the roof into the door line(1) then run down the front pillar on to the body(2)

Car will be orange with semi-gloss black bonnet

Spent a bit of today painting up some of the bits.
Detail to come when paint dries

[primera man]

Put together a bit of the engine to check fitting etc.

Still to add to the engine are the front pulleys/alt/rocker covers/carbs/exhaust and the dissy.
Have drilled out the dissy and will be adding spark plug wiring and fuel lines.

Air cleaner was stripped and bare-metal foil used then polished up for a nice finish

[primera man]

Inside is all black so very easy to paint !!!!

Used a mixture of flat and semi-gloss for the inside

[primera man]

Tyres are all finished as well. They are shocking really. They needed plenty of sanding etc to get right.
I then paint them with a flat black wash then use Tamiya wax to give them a proper tyre look.

So thats the update.
Will get some more pics up when engine is all finshed etc.

So far (apart from paint run) it has been a nice kit. Parts have fitted well and are not to bad.
What it will look like in the end,....i can hardly wait

[Jay!]

Lookin' good, Warren!

Detail the engine wiring for me, if you can. I need to get into that...

Didn't the Challenger have a vinyl roof? Or was that only the Charger?
