Bro, thanks for the advise..I'm right now building the AMT 71 Duster..I'm using the 68 Hemi Dart as part of the build..I back half the Duster chassis and use everything from the engine, interior, wheels and rear end..Decals from Slixx..The only thing I don't like is the hood scoop, I may use the Hemi Dart hood scoop..I'm not sure until I cross that bridge..If you could reply on the color of paint you used would be a great help.

Hey Maurice, I almost missed this, I used Model master Chevrolet engine Orange if I remember correctly, the car was a cross between orange and red depending on the photo you are looking at. I’d love to see your progress, is it posted on the forum?

As the others have said this is a very well built Pro-stock. Did the sub-frame connectors come with the kit or did you install them yourself?

I made them from Evergreen .100 x .100 square polystyrene from the hobby shop, item #175. I cut the floor pan just shy of the square width and finish sand for the final fit so I don’t have to use filler.
