PROGRESS:: Hot PINK!!

[jgmodelcars]

Well i've decided to make a progress thread for this hot pink mopar! So here is what many of you saw in the "poll" thread:

Hi guys I was getting tired of the RX7 so I decided to start another project while i finish up the FD. This use to be my brothers model, but he gave it to me to finish so, I tore down the engine and interior and have repainted/ refurbished everything! My brother didn't even touch the exterior and most pieces were still on trees! My plan is to have it a white interior, with a bright hot pink pearl exterior, lowered a lot, two long exhaust pipes out the back! So what do you think?

And here is the most recent update:



So what do you guys think so far?

Well i did repaint the engine from waht my brother had (blue) so i did it the appropriate chrysler engine red, i then flat black washed it to have the details stand out. I didn't paint the tranny aluminum because i want to replicate what some aftermarket parts buyers do by matching the transmission with the engine. But i am thinking of giving the oil pan a coat of silverchrome.

Silver82x- thanks for the link thats pretty cool, i haven't seen those cars before!

PS: more progress tonight!

Well here is some more progress. Last weekend i added 2 coats of pearl over the pink and you can see it real nice in these pics. Its soooo close to being done! This is mostly what it will look like when finished now.

Notice the following: hydraulic coiled brake lines, the smooth finish on the paint, the three are intakes (scratch built), all the bare metal foil!

Hope you like it! I can get more pics if you like!

Nice carb stacks! Scratch built?

Whats the hood look like?

[86_SR5]

more pics please, btw, I think the hood should be flat balck with a pink pearl hemi scoop on it, that'd be awesome.

[Purpura Delujo]

Nice, that is the 69 Superbee isn't it?
Sometimes I look at mine next to the Superbird and think about turning it into a Limelight green drag car with a twin blown 426 Hemi. But then I blink....

This one is a little more uh.... "artistic"...

Those velocity stacks look like those brass things used for electricity. I forget what their called, but one side is larger then the other (like it got 'smooshed'; the inlet is a tad bigger). TYhey also make good exhaust tips.
