68 300V: Viper powered custom Chrysler 300C

Hi!

Since a friend of my Dad had one, it made a strong impression on me: the 68 300C Chrysler IS the best variation of this body/platform. 

This one has: Johan body, forward swiveling hood, 57 Chrysler floor pan, scratchbuilt frame, Dodge Concept truck much lowered IFS & IRS, fully detailed Viper powertrain, Cadillac SUV seats (modified), scratchbuilt door panels & console, parts box rolling stock, nail polish finish with ghost flames & Testor's Wet look clear. 

Hours of fun with styrene!

Fantastic job Claude. You really do put together some stunning models.

HI!

Thanks. To Geoff's point... When you start with timeless designs, it is easier to get interesting results.

The 68 300 is such a gem. Only problem is the amount of panel edges, that make polishing difficult: easy to rub trough down to the primer. It needs a gentle touch, even more so on the side "coves"  running along the flanks.

Great looking build, love the color and the faint flames..... nice.  The hood hinges look like they could hole the weight of the entire car, but pretty cool.  My friends dad had one of these (4 door version) and having driven it many times, a Viper engine certainly would be welcome to get that land barge moving quickly.  Very nice.
