Moebius 1965 Plymouth Satellite (Finished!)

Looks good so far nice colors ! 

Very nice so far.

Thanks! Used some time off work wisely, got the body fully into paint!! I can't say enough how much i love Tamiya paints, stuff goes on so nice and the colors are spectacular!! Like i said, i went the 2-tone way, sprayed the body with Silverleaf base, then masked off the top. The hood has been cleared, body still needs cleared. So far i'm really happy with the results!!

Gorgeous job on the lettering. What was your method?

Thanks Mike, i painted the letters before clear coating while they were a little more defined. Just a very fine brush and some "chrome" silver paint with a light touch over the letters. Looking at it again, wish i had remembered to go back and touch up the "P" a little bit before the clear.

Beautiful paint and the lettering looks great too! Nice work, Orange!

Thanks guys! Just cleared the body tonight, now it's time to start painting/detailing the interior!

Looking great!

Painted the rear lettering and the rear quarter trim scoops, i did that before clearing the body so that they are nice and burried under the clear. I still might add the little trim decals that go over the quarter trim, if they will lay down and comform to the shape.

Interior work!! I love the 2-tone interiors that came stock in these cars!! This kit's interior details are about the best i've seen in any kit. Also, i threw in the completed underside of the chassis! This kit is a really enjoyable to work on, I started foiling/paint detailing on the door panels and the dash, more pics to come when they are finished!

Really clean work on the masking,i'm enjoying this build!!!

This Satellite is looking great!  Love the color!  The wheels and the hood scoop should add that flair to it that makes it your own!

Amazing work on that Satellite as the '65 Satellite and the '65 Coronets are my favorite Mopar body styles. If I had room in my garage, I would have one.

Again, thanks guy's!! Always appretiate the comments!! So today i took a little time to fool around with the Satellite some more, finished detailing the door panels and got the engine almost finished, just need to paint the tranny is all! Added plug wires of'course, and also fuel line and throttle cable/bracket/return spring. The return spring is just a piece of old guitar string. Not sure if i'm gonna keep the Parts by Parks air cleaner or go with the stock unit, but i'm leaning towards the aluminum one!! 

Your attention to detail is outstanding.  Masking is one of my least favorite things.  Looking forward to more updates.

Your detail work is fantastic..Valve covers I think should be color of the block and bellhousing is flat aluminum or close..I'd go with the stock air cleaner if your doing a stock build..Semi or textured black..

Excellent work.  The progress is fantastic.  Enjoying your updates.  

Thanks!! Wayne, actually on a stock 426 Wedge, the pie-pan air cleaner would be factory chrome! And, i'm not 100% on this, but i also believe the valve covers would be factroy chrome as well on the 426 Wedge in '65. Either way, i dig chrome valve covers! This is a mild street machine build, going for something you may have seen in the 70's or 80's! Cragar SS's, slightly jacked up stance, hood scoop, the not so radical but very cool day 2 kinda car!

It's been a while since i've updated this build, got really busy over the holiday's and the project pretty much sat! Anyway, back to work, fished the interior tonight! I'm very proud of how this interior came out, did lot's of research to make sure the details were just right. I hope to finish the engine bay over the weekend and get started wet sanding and polishing the body as well!! Can't wait to get this one done!

Your work is fantastic..Sure hope your interior lines up when you install chassis/interior into car..This is going to be one bad stock Satellite..Very well done and can't wait to see it polished and finished..

Completed engine bay! Added battery cables, and i'm going with the aluminum air cleaner, looks period right to me! I also started color sanding the body, an hour and a half just for the first polishing pad (3600), it's true what they say "the first cut is always the deepest" lol. 

Just terrific.  I'm enjoying watching your build.  Cheers.
