Very cool and nicely done.
That particular issue of Car Model was my favourite. I had thumbed through it so many times that it become held together with a few bits of Scotch tape and most of the pages had dog eared corners.
As a teenager at that time I had few things to help influence and inspire my model car building. Magazines were about it and Model Car and Science, Car Model, and Hot Rod where about it. The October 68 issue of Car Model was probably the most influential and inspiring. I tried four times to build something like Jim Keeler's Dodge Fever. I never did have Coronet kit and could only use what I could find limited by what pocket money I could accumulate by skipping lunches at school and cutting grass.
I tried using a Dodge Charger twice, a Chevelle and a Mustang body. Sheet styrene was a only a dream and instead I tried carving a couple of chassis out of wood with some success. Your Dominator inspired me to try combining features of both the Dodge Fever and the Dominator leading me to try making a chassis from left over sprues also with some success. I never did finish any of them but I learned much, developed and practiced important skills and had loads of fun trying. That is what such great inspiration will do.
