FASTBACK340 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 That is so sweet Dan. I like the realistic engine detailing too. Great wire routing! Too bad about the wheelbase, but these are the set backs we all face. And this is what makes a build "ours" and not out of the box. Looking forward to completion!

charlie8575 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Interesting look with the blackwalls, unless you plan to add WWs later, Dan. That's really shaping up nicely- nice addition to your MoPar collection. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Was able to get some time to work on the Polara today. Finished the BMF and polished the body. Also finished the front and back grills still have to install the the glass and finish adding the hoses once I'm able to assemble it all together. I'm going to go with white walls I was waiting to see how it looked with all the chrome on before making my decision. Here's my progress pictures for today.
