CB's 2024 Completions #1. MPC Super Bee is 1st of the year!

Post by cbaltrin »

I think it's fitting that this 1970 MPC Dodge Coronet Super Bee is first to cross the finishing line in 2024. Actually finishing this 2 years to the day after I started it, which is not bad considering my 1st car project took me over 4 years! The kit has it's issues, mainly cleaning up the body and chrome pieces, but the details is good. I added plug wires and a few other details such as resin door handles and replacing the side markers with aluminum tape. Painted MCW Limelight Green Metallic lacquer.

A wonderful build! Two years is a long time to put in but the result is clearly worth it.
