My second planed build for 2020 is a 1970 Hemi Charger. Like the 1968 model, this one too is a one of one, the real car is in the Brothers Collection. This one will wear another rare color called Ice Blue metallic and will have a black vinyl top and a white scat pack stripe. The paint photo is off a bit. The color looks like the photo of the real car. Additionally is will have GoodYear Poly glass white letter F60-15 tires with body color steel wheels and dog dish hub caps. I have the trim completed for the vinyl top and will be texturing the roof to look like a vinyl top. This will be a factory stock model and will replicate a factory produced car, including paint making on the chassis components and correct colors. Accuracy will be very important as this build will take me awhile as I will be pouring as much detail as possible. I will update as I move the build along.

I am planning on two builds for 2020. First in the hopper is a 1968 Hemi Charger. This one will have a 4-speed no console, red line tires and body color steel wheels with dog dish hub caps. Color will be a rare hue called Surf Turquoise or Med Dark Turquoise Metallic with black interior. No stripes, just plain Jane. The Brothers Collection has this car and it is one of one. I have started the engine, but there is a lot of detailing left to do. This will be a factory stock model and will replicate a factory produced car, including paint making on the chassis components and correct colors. Accuracy will be very important as this build will take me awhile as I will be pouring as much detail as possible. I will update as I move along in the build

Very nice work indeed!

Hi Tom, Here is a shot of the grill

Two builds of two great Super Stock drivers cars, Dick Brannon and Dick Landy. Up next will be a Pontiac 421 Super Duty.

Thanks Jason.....keep going with yours (you're doing a great job!) as it represents the final version of the car I built.

Finally, Done.

Thanks Tom. I like yours as well. So I have built Ford and Dodge Super Stocks, next up I think I will do a couple of Super Duty Pontiac's. I have 1963 Lemans coupe and Tempest wagon kits and the decals. I have been wanting to start these.

Getting closer. All that is left to do is decal the passenger side and install the rear bumper.

Can I bring a model that is painted other than black?

completed engine compartment

Engine detail in the chassis.

Yes. a fine metallic

Looks really good! I used Tamyia Mica Silver on mine.

Looking really good! You just cannot beat the Fireball carbs. They pay dividends on the look of the engine compartment

Same, using latest Color Me Gone kit as well. I also got a set of the lightweight seats from Speed City Resin and the photo etched grill from Model Car Garage

looks good! I done the same thing on the door panels. Flip them then scribe the correct panel style.

Looking great! I am building the version of this car before the wheelbase was altered.

I painted the intake black and the engine compartment will be black as well. I know the. restored car has a silver engine compartment and the intake manifold is orange, but back in the day, both were black.

That's cool. This car started as a normal Dodge 330 Super stock then the wheelbase was altered and became what some say was the first funny car. This static open to debate, but the changes were pretty radical.

My 1964 Dodge 330 Super Stock driven by Dick Landy is moving along. The 426 Race Hemi is taking shape, still detailing left to do. I really like the photo etch grill. Paint came out great, leaving as single stage to replicate the real car in 1964. Goal is to have completed in time for the Heartland Nationals in Bellevue NE Oct 5th.

Very nice build! I like this one a lot!!

Very Nice! I like this one a lot!

Started BMF to the silver 1964 Dodge 330 426 Hemi Super Stock

Finished the vinyl roof with white textured paint. Started adding BMF and photo etched emblems
