                        Last night, before turning for the night, I added some strip styrene and glue to the score line under the '69 GTX hood.  I wanted to fill the score line and to strengthen the hood since I have been "tweaking" it to fit level on the body without moving.

                        You can barely see the scoreline from the topside of the hood.

                        More GTX to come...

                        Thanks lurch!  I have been through the phase of Roadrunner for everything and now I am starting to discover the GTX.  I just wished that I had an A-727 TorqueFlite automatic to insert in place of the 4-speed transmission.

                        Thanks John!  This kit has been in the stash for a while and I think I had bought it to replace the chassis on something else.  I just don't remember on what...

                        A new project started out of a need to add another coat of paint to my 1997 Dodge Caravan.  I envisioned the '69 GTX painted with the same color of MCW Seafoam Turquoise Metallic with the Performance Hood Package.  The engine will be the standard 440 CID engine with 6 Pack carburation.  If that doesn't fit under the hood, I will use the stock 4-bbl. carb.  The transmission is the Mopar A-833 4-speed transmission.  I started by trimming all of the little bits and pieces of flash and realized that I would have to assemble the firewall, side panels and core support if I am to wash the body and chassis before adding primer and paint.  The wheels are Cragar SS mags, my favorite!
