1967 Plymouth GTX, take three!

Posted by proosen on Friday, February 25, 2005 5:20 AM

Feeling confident enough to show some progress on this problem child of mine.
What's happend before getting this far can be seen on this thread ( http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=310740&highlight=proosen ) Anyway, got a new paint job on, Mica red on a gold base coat, waiting to cure thoroughly before polishing, got some engine detail done and also got the interior going. Making my own exhaust system with the kits mufflers and some styrene stock which is going to exit just in front of the rear wheels. Have some aluminium tips on it today and it's waiting for some paint before attaching it to the headers.
And tha...tha...tha...that's all folks.

At least for the time being.

Thank's for the comments!
The dash is spray painted Tamiya X-18 and then I picked out the trim and gauges using a fine brush and Modelmasters chrome silver for the bright work and acrylics for the gauges. Nothing fancy at all, just some fiddly painting Smile [:)]

Started to polish out the paint today and it's getting some shine Cool [8D]

Will try to get it finished in time for a contest April 2-3, with my building speed that's going to be a close call to manage.

'Til next time

Got some stripes on it now and the interior is coming together. Better pics will come as soon as it's finished, the sun is down when I get home from work so you'll have to bare with this for a while. I cut the stripes from Microscale's plain black decal sheet and just stuck them on one by one. Sanded and polished the paint just the other night so now I'm quite hopefull that I will finish it in time for IPMS-Open in April. Going to be home for two weeks with my youngest son, he is starting at kindergarten on monday and the first two weeks is a soft start to get used to the new people and environment. Hopefully I can do some more building when he takes his daytime nap. Enough small talk, let's go down to the pictures.

Got some more done on the GTX, BMF is now covering the brightwork on the body. Bumpers and front grill is painted with alclad chrome and is in the process of detail painting. More to come in a week or so when it's supposed to be finished.

So, I was fiddling with some foil copys according to Mr. Juha Airio's method. Didn't quite get it right but give me a couple of more tries and it will look better. This is what i managed to accomplish with my second attempt on this. Just layed on the front wing for you to see how it turned out. I will eventually have all emblems sanded away put on the car. For now it'll do without them as time is scarese.

Decided today that I needed a little brake, so I went out shopping and got me a couple of magazines and a Revell Plymouth GTX.
No not really, but it was fun to make the box and magazines to put in the back seat. Also put in the seat belts up front an a key in the ignition. The magazines are Scala, IMPS-Swedens modelling magazine and Classic, a motor magazine with all kinds of motoring stuff...snow mobiles, helicopters, US-cars, European cars and boats to mentions some of the content.
