My muscle cars

[CieraSL]

So I finally decided to go ahead and post pics of my diecast muscle cars on here. I've been meaning to do it for a while, but just haven't done it. I did a quick mini detail on each one. Enjoy!

Process on each car:
Swirl X (except on the Mustang)
PlastX on windshield and rear window
NXT 2.0

The General didn't get a detail because it gets kept in its display box.

1957 Chevy Corvette




1967 Ford Mustang GT 500






1969 Chevy Camaro Z28






1969 Dodge Charger R/T "General Lee"








One thing I discovered is that I don't like detailing little cars. Too hard to access. I just try to keep my eye out for any cool cars I might happen to see. Trying to find a regular 1969-1970 Dodge Charger R/T or Challenger R/T, but no such luck yet. Thanks for looking!

very cool, looks like you dressed the tires as well.

No, I didn't dress the tires. They were just too small for me. I had a hard enough time trying to wax each car and not get fingerprints on them at the same time!

Re: My muscle cars

Yes I did. I think I have a sickness. Nobody can figure out what's wrong with me. Oh doctor!

M40 is awesome for model car tyres.

Hi ciera.Thanks for sharing.Those models are really cool.

I've got a '69 Dodge Charger R/T.

On my '66 Pontiac GTO,I actually opened it up and put window tints on it!!

I've just been too busy to detail these models recently.

The charger is made by ERTL.I'll see if there is a site..........

There is:A page full of Chargers...CooooL!

Re: My muscle cars

Nice collection. I wonder if it would help you detailing them if you used the foam detailing sticks? Just typing out loud.

Re: My muscle cars

I think a post should be used here,specificaly for model collectors,that use Meguiar's products to maintain them.

I've used NXT 2.0 plenty of times on my 69 camaro

How did you tin the windows, Eddie?

hi Golden,I just unscrewed the underneath and removed the body shell.Some models are a bit tricky to open because of the steering mechanism.I only had light smoke.would have been better with midnight black.

I took a quik pic,(It's filthy with dust.Looks as if it's been driving for a day through the desert.I've just not had any time to do any thing recently):




I'm going to give it the works soon!!!!!!

Sweet models. Are they diecast or put together by you? Very cool though.

They're diecast. I don't think I have the patience to put together models. Couldn't say for sure as I've never tried. Might be fun!

Re: My muscle cars

Hi RG,Mine are Die-Cast.Most are 1:18 scale.That one I shot last night was drivin' through Arizona...

If you go another 10 or so posts,you'll see my Mt.Rushmore Corvette.


It needs a bit of detailin' too!!
