You're very welcome.

The black interior really stands out with the sublime/lime light color.

Thanks Bill. A comment like that coming from you is very flattering. I've seen your aluminum Hemi and i'm totally humbled by your work, which obviousely is out of this world.

My next A body will be a dart..

I was hesitating between two colors. Glad i choosed that one...

As every model maker knows, it's really not easy to simulate wrecked sheetmetal out of plastic. Plastic don't behave like metal. You've done a great job Kerry. Very nice.

Looks great. NIce paint job and interior.

I carved a long cylinder out of a piece of plastic tree. Then i cut two short pieces out of it. The hard part was to drill minuscule holes in their center to pass a tiny wire thru them... Lost a couple of brain cells in the process....lollllll I need a beer...

Great suggestion. Thanks. I will definately take it in consideraion.

Here is my 426 hemi engine for my 1967 Dodge charger ''Revell Muscle'' series. Took some extra parts fabricated from scratch.

Yup, was a not so easy build. Especially the decals. Since it's a old kit, the decals cracked up upon installing. I totally ruined the entire rear stripe. I had to paint it.

Thanks David.

The pro modeler Kit also provides a 426 hemi but the race version. Could be easily turned into the street version borrowing intake, carb and air filter cover from other kits. I decided to go with the 440 simply because it was the most common ordered engine for the street daytonas.

Looks a lot like the Spoiler Vette MPC kit.

Hahaha You're totally right..... Edit: Just added the detail... Fixed

Here is my PLymouth Duster 1971. Like my charger, i decided to go with a color not available for 1971 mopars. FJ5 Lime light. It stands out with black interior.

GREAT :) Certainely glad to know that.....lol

Thanks for your sugegestions Mike. I will certainely pay a close eye to that. I'm always looking foward to improve my build.

Thanks for the comment Monty. Really appreciated. The trick of getting the details right is to: 1- To have good photo references of the real one. (For the ones who like to reproduce "stock" faithfully) 2- To see clearly what you work on. Really important. Good lighting mixed with the use of magnifying lenses, similar to the ones jewel makers use. 3- Steady hand and quality brushes. 4- Choosing the proper size wires. My firewall is a mix of painted raised line and added small wires.

Great detailing job. Event to the fuel and brake lines. From seeing that, i think i'm gonna start adding brake lines to. lol Looks MUCH better that painted raised lines. Good job.

Thanks. Yup Go Mango was dropped after 1970. I was aware of that fact, but i like this color. I decided to go ehead anyway... Thanks again for your comment, it's appreciated.

Here is a few shots af my 1971 Dodge Charger R/T. The AMT kit offers great details. Strangely, for a kit of that quality, the windshield washer fluid reservoir was omitted by AMT, so i had to fabricate that part from scratch. The same goes for the A/C freon reservoir & lines. But besides that it a great kit to work from. Even if the "go mango" body color was not available in 1971, i still used that color for my model. Was reluctant because i usually have the "factory specs" approach, but i liked the color so much that i said: "What the heck" loll

A few undercarriage shots.

Thanks. Was not an easy built. I had problems with the decals since it's an old kit. I had to paint the entire rear stripe. The decals cracked apart upon installing.

Great choice of body color. Looks amazing. Great work.
