'69 Superbee off the assembly line (lotsa pics)

Posted by gharlane on Saturday, January 22, 2005 9:26 PM

well i finally finished my 69 Superbee project Big Smile [:D]

here are some pics for your enjoyment
as always comments/suggestions are welcome Smile [:)]

and here are some detail pics

all the window trim, fender turn signals, and hood pins were done with Bare Metal Foil, the turn signals and taillights were painted with Tamiya Clear Red and Yellow Paints then overcoated with Testors Clear Window Cement (for coverlens look), and replaced driveshaft with brass tube (kit shaft was crappy)

all in all anf enjoyable build and i recommend it to ANY Mopar Muscle Car Fan

thanks for looking
Wink [;)]

Comments/suggestions, hmmm......!?
Looks good to me, maybe a bit orange peel in the paint job but nothing alarming. I'm growing more and more fond of American iron. Have to build some more myself and this was an inspiration! I have one suggestions though, put it in a box and send it to me...it'll look fine in my cabinet Evil [}:)]

Keep it up!

thank you all for the kind comments and suggestions. i will probably pick up another Superbee kit and this time do it as a stock build Cool [8D]

. i did this from memory Tongue [:P]

. it was the first car i had ever owned Wink [;)]

. the only difference, IIRC, was the the car i owned was British Racing Green, the wheels were called Chrome Reverse, a rim with no slots in them, and street slicks Cool [8D]

again thanks
