Well since all this is posting of models work done, or started and or somewhere in between, WTH. I'll post a few pics of what I'm into here......
First up, a die-cast sort of, restore. WAS a 1:25th General Lee. Not anymore, I couldn't find decals so. Thought I'd try something new....
The motor in this model was NEVEr to be. Why? It had what was to "look" like a complete motor, as a 426 Hemi in it. And really, I've not seen this motor EVER overused in a model, BUT the 69 Dodge Charger R/T.....SO, I opted to put in the Hemi's place, but a motor of the SAME cubic inch....... the 426 Max-Wedge.....
This frame that you see the motor in, was never "open" or able to see through. Meaning, the lower frame was solid and was just a carved out area, to show underside detail of the front suispension, it was never carved to fit an actual motor into place, hence why the front axle bar goes through the motor. I wanted to try and keep it as close to original as I could as far as all of its factory parts. (Remember this model was the first I've touched in about 15 years back when I was a bit more a hurting unit from open heart surgery) SO....Now, since that time, I've gained a few models, shall we say!
The body.....Panther Pink.....It will also have a white deck stripe, a white vinyl roof, and the indentations of the hood will be white with "426" written in black in the white blocks....
NO CHROME on this one! Its normally against my religion to remove the chrome but in the case of this Charger, I had too. I bought this model scratched up and the chrome was all but worn off as it was old, when I got it so... I figured "Blacken chrome" would be fitting and it sure has a good look to it, I just can't put no "gloss black" on the body as it would clash....
Even the rims are blackened chrome!
More to come thats my Die Cast 69 Charger R/T......

So before I head for bed.....my 67 Charger?
So this is to be the "Foose" 67 Charger. I just couldn't I like them a loto f the time "stock" Mopar.....Sadly, I had a bit of a different idea....
What was the RB block replacement? AND the Hemi back in the day? Anyone?
A 404 CID Ball-Stud Hemi for the small one, and or the 444 Ball-Stud Hemi....Not many ever made as the A279 was there? I got a model!
In the car....
Extra details I turned to make them fit the valve covers that I milled:
I've since gotten the carb on it, and have yet torun the fuel line from the Mech. pump, and then to get the frame completed ready to install the motor, then I'll run the fuel line from the frame to the mech. fuel pump....
Ohh yeah, it will keep the "Shaker" hood scoop as well.....just not have the 2 X 4 carb set up supporting it.....(I thought I use plenty of 2 X 4 carb set ups on Hemis so.....)
