Dominik Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Yes, these are cars i like. Not the "topcar" of the productionline, only "low budget"-rides as they are seen on the streets. Well done! looks perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I love this car! Great job. There were so many more of these on the street than the high-zoot V8s. Brings back an earlier time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diymirage Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 looks great my only suggestion is to get some different paint for those tail lights i use tamiya stop red paint (i believe) it looks like clear red plastic once it dries other than that, great model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impcon Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 As the late, great Jackie Gleason used to say, "How sweet it is!!" And that is one sweet build if ever I saw one! It is indeed nice to see something other than a performance oriented car and yours is definitely one of the best! Nice, realistic colour combination and the bench seat and slant six just make the model stand out from the rest. I like performance cars but I really like to see something that could have been owned and driven by any family. I;d give this one an easy AAAA++++!

Sixties Sam Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Very nice! It's good to see a model of an everyday car, not just the top of the line stuff. I like the slant 6. Nice work! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spkgibson Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 The resin parts are old AFX parts I have the same conversion I found on EBAY.gorgeous Dart..Very nicely done...how did you make the bench seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yahshu Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 What a nice build, good to see the leaning tower of power in there. Are your conversion pieces AFX? If so how did you get the grill to fit so well? I have 2 sets of the AFX conversions & both grills are to wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funkster Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Very, Very nice Dodge Dart. Not very popular, but lots of them sold. Not as popular as the 340, but not everyone could by one. Great job on a very nice looking model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
