Jared Roach Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 So I went and got the newly reissued 67 and it will look some what like this: I will be going for a similer look as that one, by widening the rear stock rims and I will scratch build the daytona wing, but not sure about paint yet. I got the front cut off and hinged. Right now it has cragars but i will swap them out for the magnum 500's later. I was going to use the rear tires from the revell chevelle, but I'm gonna find something that is wider. I still have alot of adjusting to do to the front so it sits right. Here is the hinge. I couldn't run one hinge across the whole front of the frame, so instead i made two small ones and and put one on each fender. I also cut away radiator so the fenders will clear it. I plan on working on the firewall, the daytona wing, and the interior here soon, but i gotta fix the front end it's pretty crooked. Thanks for looking guys.

Mr. Moparman Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Add a daytona nose cone and boom '67 Dodge Daytona Charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimKustom Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Kool project you have going on there. I like how the tilt nose works on the body line. I built one very similar to what you have started a few years ago. The front inner fenders need a lot of work to get a wide tire in there. Keep up the good work.

Jared Roach Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks everybody! Now some might be disapointed and others happy, but I'm not going to do the daytona wing. For two reasons: 1) The angle that the trunk is shaped and slopes would be difficult to mount it on there 2) I really don't want the hassle of taping around that rear end with all those curves for the stripe. So now with that outta the way here's a update! So I got the fire wall on, and the front end sits alot better after some tweeking, but still needs some work. I assembled all the pieces to be orange on the hemi and painted it, still need to do the transmission and the valve covers painted black semi gloss black. The whole interior is painted semigloss black and needs some more detailing. The color I chose is model master Fathom Green. YES, I know it's a GM color, but I thought it would look nice in it. The chassis was primed, then oversprayed, then the front frame was done in black. Yes I know it's not correct, but it isn't really stock. Whats next? I gotta fill the fire wall and build it up along the sides like here: Won't be too hard though, so look for a update soon guys because I'm crusing along on this one. Thanks for lookin guys.

TimKustom Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Looks like you're moving right along. Still would like to see ya add a wing to it... Blake, see my PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'm with Tim... add the wing. If you don't want to mess with paintng the white stripe, you could either use white decal paper and do the stripe as a decal, or skip it altogether... maybe just paint the wing white. That wing looks really cool on a '66 or '67 Charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
