68 Hemi Dart
« on: February 22, 2020, 03:59:24 PM »
Painted more parts for both of the '34 truck builds today. While waiting for parts to dry, I cracked open this kit and started mocking it up.  I opened up the rear wheel wells to accommodate drag slicks.

These always make great drag cars and I am looking forward to seeing this one come along.
I appreciate people that actually build and post models.

Got some inspiration for this build while searching online for old drag cars. Found a car with sponsorship from a bunch of old Dodge dealers in Buffalo NY (about an hour west of me),and a set of decals for the same car that is available from a fellow forum member (hemiman/SMP Decals) so that sealed the deal. I found some pics where the car ran black steel wheels and some with the chrome mags that come in the kit, but I think it looks a whole lot meaner with steelies! Need to find a set for this build.

Thanks Rett.  Pretty hassle-free assembly so far. Worked on some detail stuff for a little bit today. Nothing picture worthy, but a little more progress.
