Moebius 1955 Chrysler 300C 9-5-2026

This is my work lunch break build, I was contemplating whether or not to even make a post. I guess something is better than nothing.

Last week’s work was the engine. It is a firepower 331 cubic inch monster (for that time). This was the last year for this motor in the 300C. Still some work to do.



All metallics were from Ghalerri’s metallic paint pens.

Cool build. Motor looks sharp. I’ve done one moebius kit (65 cyclone) and really liked it so I’ll follow along. I’ve been eyeballing the NASCAR version of this kit.

Thanks for posting @NucMedTech. Looking forward to watching your build on this one. Great looking metallics.

This will be my second moebius build and so far it is pretty nice. I have the K code mercury comet and two other kits in the stash. Looking forward to building them and perhaps getting a few more from this company.

Thanks Peter, happy to have you along. I will try to post progress either Fridays or Mondays.

Well I have some progress. Have the front suspension completed. Also have the engine in place, not glued, to check clearances.





I was worried that the spark plug wires might cause an issue with the firewall fitting. Think there is just enough room.

Looking great so far @NucMedTech. The wires add a lot to the build. Good luck as you proceed.

Brought the interior home to air brush as regular painting was leaving streaks and just not cutting it.


Dash board is done except for the steering wheel. Just set in place not glued yet.
Tail pipes are also set not glued. Planning on setting brake and gas lines and just trying ti figure out where they should go.

Not to much done this week. Fuel lines are in place, the exhaust is as well. Axel and leaf springs are set, now I need to attach the shocks.


Brought the body home to paint it, so that should be making an appearance soon.

So I have the body painted,



and I did polish it. I plan on trying a 2k clear coat next. My question is, should I apply chrome trim and decals or do that after the clear coat. I am not sure how those would react to spraying a clear coat over them.

Looking good @NucMedTech. That paint is pretty slick already. I spray the clear coat then apply the trim and decals. I use Pledge floor polish (previously Future Floor Polish) on top of everything including the glass to seal and protect it all. Our fellow forum members should advise further.
