Claude Thibodeau Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 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! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The paint work is outstanding and the first thing that gets your eye. The Chassis and Interior work is well done and very workable in 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Peter Lombardo Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 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.
