Nice. Good job on the foiling. I know you said it was your last one with foil for a while. It's a paint but it makes a huge difference. Kudos for braving it out.

Mike that '68 looks AWESOME!
Sadly, my '68 won't have the steelies on it, Why? I plan to make mine look like the one "Blade" drives in the movie....I have ta get a better eye for when I watch it again to see what wheels is actually on that Charger!!!! AND from what I remember, it has one of 2 engines in it, consider the hood scoop I bet its a 426 Hemi as you used, BUT I'm not sure if the 440 would have just as good, as the Hemi BUT, (always a clause with me) it took a serious amount of work, for the 440 to keep up with the 426 Hemi brethren!!!!

Thank you Hemi I really appreciate it. It was a fun build. Blade is a great movie but I can't remember what kind of wheel's was on that car. You may want to try a Google search for that car

yes sir that's clear coated sharpy works good, other colored sharpys will detail parts like dashes and white lettering on slicks and they dry fast just one of my tricks i have picked up over time and expiramenting different paints and clears
