Summary
Here is in my opinion a really cool 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee model that I made. But its not an ordinary model, because I made it out of SODA CANS!
Yup! All the painted panels are genuine 5 cent deposit aluminum cans.
It took me several months to complete it including designing before I even started construction.
If there is another soda can model car you would like to see me make, just leave a comment of send me a message and I will see what I can do. ; )
But absolutely NO Corvettes! To complex.
Instructions
Supplies needed
For this project you will need...
A ton of spare time, patience, sharp scissors to cut the cans, X-ACTO knife, black and silver Sharpie markers, a ball point pen you dont care if it'll ever write again, super glue, hot glue, paints, a ruler, and around 8 25 oz soda cans.
I recommend 25 because the 16 ounce once are smaller and harder to work with and you have to cut and clue some smaller panels together to make a larger one.
For the color of the body I settled with Allis Chalmers Orange since the true Hemi Orange or Corvette Flame Red are a little out of my price range for the model.
I bought a RUST-OLEUM spray can of Allis Chalmers Orange for 6 dollars at my local store.
Paper panels
Cut out your paper panels like this following the edge of the lines. (I know they are crude)
PAY ATTENTION
On the model I cut these out for I used smaller cans so I had to cut the hood from the rest of the body and the fenders from the doors and quarters. Leave these attached together if working with larger cans!
This is what the car body should look like with all the metal panels and printed grilles and bumpers attached.
