One very nice looking T-Bird! Really dig those wheels and the super smooth paint job!

Love the stance! Looks great!

The Willys makes a very nice taildragger! Great job!

Looks great, Jason! Nice paint job!

I think I found my way to build a custom front for my Monaco. Just a little bit fine tuning and we will be there: thanks for all the tips and suggestions, guys!

Amazing build! Looks great from every angle! So much detail and so much style!

Very kool! I love it!

Drop dead gorgeous! As unique as beautiful!

Can't go wrong with flames on black paint! Nice one!

Awesome! Besides the great body work I really dig the bumper and taillight treatment! Very well done!

I love this kit! With some good ideas and the right parts there's so much you can do with it and you did a great job! Looks beautiful!

Very nicely done! gGreat underwood details, stance and colours are spot on! Beautiful!

Nice chop, looks great!

Looking great! Will keep watching that build! 👍

That’s why I love this forum! Thanks for all the tips, guys! I will definitely keep them in mind for probable future builds! For this one I found a different solution. I remembered that I bought a second hand Viper engine from a die cast model some time ago and it fits into the Monaco´s engine bay. I will have to modify the headers a bit and maybe scratch build a radiator but for now, I’m happy with it and at least the hood closes properly: Further I had the idea to modify the front of the Dodge since I made custom taillight lenses. Instead of the stock grilles an rectangular headlights I plan to use a round single lens and mesh grilles. a quick mock up: Not quite sure about it. Maybe I cut the surrounds from the stock items to frame my mesh parts?

That is probably the best what you can do with this kit! Great idea, I really like it!

#20 1978 Dodge very few process yet... Tried to modify a Revell Viper chassis to fit under the Monaco and use the the Viper engine as well but that plan failed totally 🙄. The engine didn't fit under the hood and the chassis is no in pieces and tossed away. Guess it was not the best plan to mix 1/24 and 1/25 kits. Now I have to figure out something else... at least I have a quick mock up of the modified interior: Still needs some refining... Integrated the Viper seats into the rear seat bench and the resin casted ones in the front, speakers and amp for the rear window shelf and a touch screen for the co-driver. The Viper kit also donated the center console and steering column.

It may be simple but it looks kool for sure! Very nice traditional rod!

Wicked! I doubt that the driver can see anything with that big blower in front of the windshield... But who cares, it looks cool!

Looks great! Love the color!
