Captain Spaulding Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Time to start my latest project, Revell's 1968 Dodge Dart 2'n 1. Car is definitely getting the 426 Hemi for the motor, body will be blue and leaning towards a black interior.l though my mind may change when I get to that point.

Captain Spaulding Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Got some work done on the Dart finally, the 426 and frame are all painted up. Going with Chrysler intense blue pearlcoat for the body, think it will look pretty good. Hoping to paint it in a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a flea market with a big amount of them and many assorted colors for only $3.99 a can so can't beat the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Spaulding Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Got the interior painted and finished, decided on a dark tan color instead of black like I originally planned. Everything so far is coming together well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
