Thanks guys for all the comments. They are welcomed. Progress will be slow on this with having a 2 year old and a 6 month old. Maybe one day they can help me build all the models in my stash. I have blocked the nose and rear window area and applied a skim coat of spot glazing and blocked that down again. I hve applied the fender scoops as well and started cleaning up the rear wing from the flash and pin holes. I have re-primed the body to see whatelse needs to be done. I do know that I need to fab up some rear window trim, need to think how best to do that. I have seen where Patto Decals out of Austrilia will print out decals at any scale you need if asked and I have seen where he has decals for the Bobby Allison Daytona and have been in contact with him and placed an order. Now I just need to wait and see what I get from him. Have heard he has nice decals and great to work with.

Vernon, here is the website where I got it from. http://www.freewebs.com/rmrresin/nf125.htm

I purchased the 1/16th Scale Dukes of Hazzard Charger and wasn't pleased that it could not be built into a street stock car. So I went looking to see what could be done with it and found a conversation kit from Resin Motor Replicas to make it into a Daytona Charger. I received the conversation kit and it came with instruction on how to modify the rear window from the tunnel glass to the flush fit glass. I sliced the body along the base of the "C" pillars and bent the panel between the rear window and trunk up to align with the top edge of the "C" pillar. Rescribed the trunk edge and glued plastic in around the window to try and make it look closer to the rear window opening in a real car. Then I moved to the nose. I straighted the leading edges of the front fenders and glued the resin nose on. Then I cut from the top edge of the bumper notch in the fender back and cut and filled in the opening with sheet plastic to mold the nose into the fenders. Sanded things down and puttied with Tamiya White Putty and primed quickily today to see how things was looking. I am not sure how to finish the bottom out so I placed chassis in the body and seen how much room I had with the roll bars in placed and cut to be able to clear all this when I go to complete it. Have not seen how anybody else is handling this area either. Would like to replicate the Bobby Allison #22 which means I will have to come up with my own decals.

Nice

Cool

How about the Chrysler Norseman that never made the shores of the United States from Ghia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Norseman http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=chrysler+norseman&qs=ds&form=QBIR#

Updates?

Any updates?

A few years ago at the Carlisle Chrysler Show they had a Butch Leal Dart there but it was a candy red and silver down the side. Looked great but not sure if it was original or not. At the same time they had the 65 stock wheelbase car as well which was the more familiar orange and white. Here's a link off the butchleal.com http://www.butchleal.com/DartPrint.html

Love it. That is just too cool. Nice Santa helpers too.

I have deleted my previous post surrounding this car. It was posted in poor jugement and my apologies go out to Rod, his wife and his upholsterer. The way the post was typed was irresponsible on my part and I am truly sorry. I know for a fact that Rod's upholsterer does excellent work and I have seen said car in person and it is truly amazing in the way it is built. I know that alot of people have complained in the way Rod builds his cars and they say he destorys Corvettes but I don't see it. I have seen mutliple builds of his at car shows around the area and they have all been truly astonishing to see, not to everybodies taste but when you really look into the way they are built it's amazing. I am sure that everybody has worked hard over the years to be able to create and afford to built these amazing machines. Again my apologies go out to everyone involved.

Dukes reject

I am currentliy gathering suppplies and reference to build the 1955 Chevy that was prepared by Smokey and driven by Herb Thomas. It appears as if the Chevy was the 150 model. I have the AMT 55 Bel Air sedan and have taken the Bel Air trim off the body and trying to get it ready to prime. I have also purchased the decals off Ebay. I have seen that it was actual Skyline Blue with a white roof and not the Seafoam Green or whatever GM painted there replica. I need some help on the interior though. I am in search of some interior shots of a 55 150 to see how they differ from the Bel Air model. Any reference pictures would be helpful for that fact interior or exterior but mainly interior right now.

Any updates?

Wow thanks for sharing. love the pics

Always liked the look of that car very clean looking car and great build

THat looks great. I have one in my stash to build yet. I believe this might be the first one I have seen built.

Love it. Would look great next to a 50 Olds

I had heard from a vendor at Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle Show, back in July, that Moebius was going to be doing a 61 Pontiac Ventura and a 65 Mercury Comet but, have not seen anything on that yet.

DIdn't get to go. Did anybody get there to take pics?

As far as Chip goes how much pull does the Earnhardt side have? Earnhardt was a big component for Chevy.

You know something that we haven't heard Dave? I am a hugh Dodge fan. Of the 5 vehicles I have owned 3 of them have been Dodges. Would love to be able to continue pulled for my manufacturer. On a side note I am very pleased to see that Allen Johnson won the NHRA Pro Stock Championship this year driving a Dodge Avenger. As well as Jack Beckman winning the NHRA Funny Car Championship behind the wheel on a Dodge Charger.
