    Great video and ideas. I have a 70 Challenger that I'm going to be trying to add the R/T Gauge cluster to the car at some point in the future.

      Thank brother, I never would have thought they would create a paint pen that would actually look like chrome. I am very happy with how they turned out.

    Nice job and much closer to hearing that beast of a Charger tearing up the road! Can't wait to see it running and looking like it did back in the day when it was new! Keep up the great videos!

      Thank you for the kind words brother, I will keep everyone up to date as we continue to make progress. We are gonna start on the grill repair work for my Charger Jezebel, then we will do Dad's grill once we have perfected the art. Yes there will be a video on teaching how to repair the plastic grills.

      I feel like we have something in common, i got mine Charger cause of my dad had a 70 Charger, and now i have mine! And i bet your dads car was a reason why you got your Charger? :). Heres a little video on my dads Charger in the 80s ruclips.net/video/Mzw3iYl7haw/видео.html

      More or less you are correct, I had my 70 Charger Jezebel before Dad got his 68, but listening to the stories about his 69 he used to have made me want a Charger

    Hey man should put a coat of flat clear over that, I did the same thing with the chrome markers and it wipes off when its to hot! Nice work tho

    • @ScottsSpeedShop

      The piece above the glove box is one whole piece of trim, I just re-painted the chrome on, I might have a spare if you need one.

    Nice job, looks good on video, and really cheap compared to a new set, I only wonder if the Chrome won't stick on your hands when you touch it? Is it easy to rub the surface with some cloth when it needs to be cleaned after a while. Will it come off then? To varnish it seems a bit hard due to the small size of it. But again, nice job 👍👍

    • @ScottsSpeedShop
      @ScottsSpeedShop  7 лет назад

      The shit really sticks on, it's all about prep work, and I spent 3 days on this little project. I have no reason to believe the chome paint will come off.
