Well guys it took me forever but this one is done.

The photos are a little dark but it is the best I could do here.

Don at reliable resin saved the day on this one by sending me a hood to replace the one I trashed. I also used clear head lights made by him.

WOW ... 2 Thumbs Up !

Roger , you have really come a long way , in a short period of time

1 of the most impressive aspects of that piece , is Paint :D

I know many accomplished builders , who would think twice about that tackling that 2 tone deal & the curved edges , to match the decals pinstripes !

I'll be re~introducing all the Pro Stock'rs i.e. 72 > 73 Challenger P/S, & the 71 Challenger , as well as the 72 Duster P/S ( fresh rubber ) w/ a few NEW goodies that I've collected / found ( in the past 2 > 3 yrs ) for the "different faces , different Races " look of these P/S'rs through out the years

At the moment , I'm offering the corrected 73>74 Duster P/S body & various packages / presentations

Can't wait to see those "other" Pro Stock pieces that you have stored , collecting dust on your shelf > LOL :blink:

This is a very nice representation of this car and I really like it a lot.

The only thing I can complain about is the placing of the dual distributors, it looks a bit strange where they are now...as they could have been on a Ford engine.

It should look more like this.

Yea

I get it the distributors are not correct. Thanks for pointing it out again.

If you knew anything about me or my builds you would be aware I am very well versed in the history of early Pro Stock.

This motor was built over a year ago when I first started in the hobby and was the first try at using a aftermarket distributor kit to make a dual plug motor.

To the best of my knowledge there has never been a dual plug Pro Stock Ford motor. Then I am no expert.

Thanks for all the kind words from everyone else.

Don't take my comment the wrong way.

I really like your model a lot and was just trying to give out constructive critisism...but that seems to have backfired big time. :unsure:

I'm sorry if I offended you, because that was not my meaning at all.
