Got the body work completed and decided on which one I will be building but, not letting on yet. I started the paint process and will post an update when painted.

Looking good for the issues you have been talking about. I have thought about building some of these Fords but just haven't had the time. So thanks for sharing yours.

Anybody have any more info on this Resto Mod kit.

Looking good Mark. Keep it up.

Wow just happen to stumble upon this thread. What a transformation. The scale of the pilot and detail painting of him, wow! You did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing

Working on stance.

Looking good

What Blue is that? It looks great, I went with 2009 Surf Blue that is a match to my daily driver 2009 Challenger.

Yeah, I was leaning toward cutting rear wheel houses and modifying the upper a arms and spindles but have been busy with work and kids

Still some work to be done to get it lower I believe. Just some quick pics.

I've been thinking about trying that one as well. Would love to get decals for it.

Loving it!

Wow That's looking great. I love these old Johan Plymouths and Dodges.

Taking few minutes this morning and looking at the spindles. The one of the left is the stock Charger spindle, the 2 on the right is the stock Daytona spindles. Revell lowered the front some but, I will lower some more.

Think I'm done with the rollcage. Onto the suspension and body.

Not sure what to do with the front suspension. Have been looking at pictures and it appears that these car first used a modified stock k member but then I seen over at Randy Ayers Nascar Forums the Wingcar Building Seminar that it was all fabricated. Not sure what to do.

I loved that movie. I remember growing up watching it with my family even though the movie was what 12 years old when I was born. I need to dig my copy out and watch, haven't watched it for a while.

Mark this is the kit I'm using. With some leftovers parts from my streetcar build from this kit. And this was the last release of this kit

I have been wanting to build one of these for a long time. Finally bit the bullet and got started. I started with the Revell 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona kit. Had some pieces from the 1st release of this kit with some of the "Race Car" option like the taillight panel cover, the center rollbar that goes behind the seat (in which I modified slightly) and few other pieces. I started with the interior and seeing what I could come up with. I glued the interior pan at the rear seat area, the toe boards and along the driveshaft tunnel leaving the rest loose. I then cut the floor pans out of the interior pan to use the top of the chassis pan itself. Smoothed up the low areas of the front subframe and along the rockers. Created the door jambs (which are not perfect but will work). Smoothed up the interior trim panels and cut the door trim panel out. I cut the rear package tray down and cut some sheet plastic to mold that into the rear seat area and smoothed trim panels. Started looking at the rollcage which is always my downfall on creating a stock car out of a streetcar kit. I guess it isn't turning out to bad. I have cut out the inner front fender aprons. I have a set of PPP early 1970's stock car tires and wheels to use. I always found a correct resin hemi intake to use as well. I have 3 different sets of decals for one of these cars, not sure which one I will build. I have the decals for the #99 Glotzbach, the #22 Allison and of course the #71 Isaac car.

Can't wait to see what you do with this one.

I've been following your build thread on this. With all the work you have put into this, you should be proud. That looks great! Can't believe that is brush painted. You always do a great job on making your own decals. Again, this looks great. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks Tim. Means alot coming from you. I glued plastic strips from the moldings and the vinyl top seams and applied decals for the 3 different sections of the roof.

Does anyone know if Atlantis got the 68 and/or 69 Dart kits from Revell? Would love to get a couple more of them in the future. I need to get some better pictures of this one I built.

Looking good. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Just getting into this kit a little. Looks like a very good kit with great parts count. Has anyone built one of these NextGen Camaros yet? What did you do where the roof rail stops short of where it should? Was going to glue a plastic strip there but to match it up, it is very thin.
