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.

No, I haven't finished it yet. Have been sidetracked with some other projects and life.

Thanks everyone. Will look into the paint i was looking at for a project.

I am looking at using some Tamiya AS line of spray paints. I am not familiar with them and was wondering if they can be sprayed right over bare plastic or should it be primed first? If so, what primer, the usual Tamiya Fine Surface Primer or something else?

I never had one of those. May need to get one this time around.

"Hudson Hornet #35 is... well, it's a long time coming" Well, it takes time for car to become weathered and left for dead. I could never do that to a model, just enjoy looking at others that people turn out. Looks great Chuck!

Got a tracking number for the Roll-out Camaro that I had pre-ordered. Shouldn't be too much longer

Looking great Mark! Glad you got the paint issue squared away.

Hey Mark, it just hit me and I went looking in my pictures from past car shows. Back in 2014 I seen this restored car at the Ford Nationals in Carlisle, PA. I have attached pictures in case you are interested in them.

Looking good Mark. Keep it.

That is a real beauty. Love these old Mopars. Simply amazing work.

Thanks guys
