Sure, you can use a professional heat gun. I do. If it's a 750/1500 watt gun, just make sure you use the lower setting, keep the nozzle at least 6-8 inches away from the buck and move the heat around to prevent damage to the buck. The gentleman who posted the tip used two-part epoxy to mount the glass in order to make the buck. The problem with epoxy resins is that they will soften when exposed to heat. A better alternative would be to use plaster of paris. It won't break down and it provides a solid base for the buck.

the turn signal lamps are the clear lenses that wrap around the bumper.

the issue is just what is directly under the high beams. I did several Google searches and only came up with close up pictures that clearly show that they are colored mesh but no explanation, then I hit pay dirt, and Gabriel was right. Here's the explanation that I found:

" The relatively small fourteen-inch wheels made brake improvements important; a rectangular duct underneath the headlights channeled cooling air to the front brakes".

Beautiful build Gabriel - wow - now all it needs is a well-lit showroom!

Thanks for sharing so much along the way

Cheers

You've certainly made a super job, on the beautiful Chrysler 300C. No doubt you'll have a very happy customer.
It's been a real pleasure following the build, my friend.

Hi Gabriel!

Well, this certainly turned into a "blink and you'll miss it" build for me. Certainly I've not been on the forum for a few days and have missed so much and have lots of catching up to do!

Let me say, this is just a superb build! 10/10 from me!

I sure hope your patron is happy with the end result and commissions more builds!

Either way, thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing your next project!

Gabriel,
I'm really quite impressed to say the least. You did an excellent job on your commission build. The owner should be more then satisfied. I would recommend to him one of the many available clear plastic display cases so that the Big 300 doesn't become a dust collector.

So what's up next on your build list that will next cross your workbench? (I should talk as I haven't touched a model since I finished the Porsche 956).

Joel

Gorgeous!!

Dem wheels tho. Definitely need to figure out how to do something like that to the Vette.

Awesome work man.

Question: If this is commissioned, how much did it cost? You don't have to answer if its a trade secret. Just curious.

Thanks, Charlie!
Yes, the red inserts are quite "a punch in the eye", and I think I've seen something similar on Corvettes as well. You should check with our Corvette resident expert - D.

No secrets here, Charlie! Shipping and materials discounted, my net gain will be some 60 Canadian Dollars.

Gabriel

I wonder how much that is in real money? LOL

Awesome work, man. You are an inspiration.

The 300C looks fantastic, Gabriel. Nuthin' like a great looking up Mopar!

Oh! And a "glamour" one for Damian:

Gabriel, wow what a great build and the finish looks superb. Hats off to you on another great build.

This is one that I've been watching but never felt the need to comment as I had nothing more to add that hadn't already been said but now it's finished I had to comment.

Awesome build Gabriel, this has been a great thread from start to finish. Plenty of detail on every step, explanation of the successes and failures along the way so that we can all learn from your experience, and a brilliant outcome!

That glamour shot is a winner, I love it! It's amazing how the colour varies in different lighting.

I can't wait to see the next build you have lined up mate, really looking forward to it.

Cheers, D
