   I like what you did with the car,  must be in early '64 as it isn't beat up too badly yet.

   You did a wonderful job, thanks for the work in progress photos. I'm not that familiar with the Dukes car and would have overlooked the subtle changes you did to the body & frame.  The casual observer would assume the kit came that way, your building skills make it seem like it came that way, nice build !

   A very nice build, the scratch built items worked out great. Not a successful car but Jim Hall was always trying  out new ideas, most of the time they worked.  Again good looking model !

   Mike, I used some Metalizer aluminum paint on the carbs, then did a wash of some flat black to bring up some of the great details on the Fireball carbs, and added a bit of Testors silver to add some contrast, also a bit of brass on some of the fittings. Thanks for the compliments on the build.

   63 Dodge

   This model started out as an original '63 Dodge Polara by Johan. I used the original body, glass , dash & bumpers. The chassis  , running gear, interior and engine was from the Lindberg '64 Dodge Color Me Gone Kit.  There are some subtle changes to the body in the rear to reflect a lower model of the Dodge line. I added a narrow post to the roof, probably not 100 % correct but I like the look of a post car. The door handles and carbs are from Fireball Modelworks, MCG emblems are on the trunk.  I wanted a bench seat in the front and made it from the rear seat in the '64 kit.  I mixed up some left over paint which turned out a bit more yellow than I envisioned. The decals are left over bits and pieces from various kits. Any comments are welcome.
