That's a killer Dart! Donn is a solid builder!
Excellent detail and it's always nice to see some weathering on this type of build...

That's an impressive build with a typical Donn Yost stellar finish.

Hi , gang ! Thank you for the compliments , they are greatly appreciated !
Revell kit , wheels are from the AMT Vette , intake manifold is from one of the Lindberg Dodge kits . Building the motor was rough , like stuffing 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bag ! Used the carbs from a ' 66 Nova .
Color is Testors Competition Orange with Pearl X Bright Gold suspended in the clear coat overlay . I used pastel chalks to lightly weather the motor and frame and various metallizers throughout the build . Slixx decals finished it out . I have The Dragon Lady Dart well on it's way too !

Donn, one of the wonderful things about this engine bay is that upon closer inspection you begin to see the subtle weathering. Beautiful work indeed.

This was Beauty and the Beast , motor wise ! Beauty ? Having a 24" by 16" full color photo to follow . Beast ? Trying to stuff it all in with 1/25th scale parts !
Believe me , I scared the daylights out of the pups a few times with my bellering , cussin' , and fussin' ! Lmao ! A very nice kit to build , but I believe I enjoyed building the Revell ' 68 Charger more .

Don this is one beautiful build. Paint is killer as always. Which AMT Vette did those wheels come from? They look like very nice Weld Pro Stars and they are a tad different than the pro stars that came from the revell pro stock kits. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see the next one.

Thank you , Brother D ! Mutual admiration society here , buddy ! Your work speaks for itself , loud and clear !
Moon , it's the ' 57 street machine kit . The model is green and white on the box with that god awful scoop on it . The kit is an excellent one to build , only drawback , no hard top ! Wheels are not as deep as the ones in the Revell kit but certainly fit the bill for a variety of builds . Thanks for the kudos !
