I don’t know if the name Creamsicle is familiar or not in NZ, but it is a frozen treat with orange sherbet on the outside with vanilla ice cream on the inside on a stick.
 

Well, here’s a Creamsicle 71 Challenger vert that I had my hands on. I did the grille, headlight bezels, hood, rear deck , rear quarter trim, tail panel, heater box, main wiring harness and switch panel.

I would love to own this car and have it sitting my garage. The EV2 Hemi orange paint is just blinding. The pictures just don’t do it justice. I hope you like it. It wasn't fully completed when I took these pictures of it.





I found a picture of some of the taping process. The biggest mistake that I have even seen on nation magazines are when the two horizontal lines in the headlight bezels are painted over in black. By doing this completely misses the extension of the top and bottom lines from the grille molding. These headlight bezel molding lines actually very rounded without a hard crease. I can’t begin to say how many times I cut and then ripped the tape off say to myself, “It’s just not straight or pointed correctly”.   











Here are a few without the lines painted black.

Wow you sure do incredibly nice work Jim.
We dont have the Creamsicle here, but thanks for the reference.
I sure do like that Hemi Orange and white interior colour combo, but then again I'm biased.  Big Grin

So you don't have creamsicles but something like it. Oh well, I guess I will stick with Mopar parts then.  Cheeky
