One idea might be metallic orange like on the photo, maybe grassgreen with black Hemi-markings, ...

Just remember to make it FLAT black, haha. That was a big thing in the old Mopars... flat black decaling.

Hi,

finally some update photos:

the rear wheelwell was narrowed 2,5 mm from the rear




the front wheelswall about 1 mm





I think it is very hard to modify the doorpanels from 2 to 1 door.

So I used some sheet



and built some upper edge and armrest.



Now I´ll blend everything with some putty and bring some details like door opener, speakers, ...

That´s a great idea again, I liked your 300C build, but this is much better to me!
Can´t wait to see it finished!

Bump!

[gionc]

Bump?
Nope, goosebump!!!

I'm spending too little time in the AF lately and less yet in this subforum: I discovered also your Chrisler.... you go nut Micha, fantastic.

[Enzoenvy1]

This is too cool. I would want one definitely in 1:1. I might have missed it or not known, but what rims are those?

[voyageur]

Wow Micha,

scratch building the door panels. Quite a chore...but I'm sure you'll do it perfect.
Can't wait to see an update...

Cheers
SEB

Hi,

The Charger body in resin





Inner door panels are still missing, but I can continue now ;-))

My first thoughts also. I really like these big modifications you do. The door panels are especially interesting too. Looking forward to more progress on this one.

[sportracer02]

Hi,

no, I let it cast

[rsxse240]

but that is a resin copy of the body you mastered, correct? If so, it looks great! if not, then it's still nice, but you loose cool points with me by cheating! lol.

Exactly !!

Thus I intend to avoid that in some future time the different materials on the plastic master model ( styrene, sheet, superglue, putty, primer, ...) react in a bad way and may produce cracks etc.

[rsxse240]

ahh, not only that, but you can pay for your materials by selling a few bodies!

Yes, this might be a good idea , but not until the inner door panels are finished
