Wow ! It turned out great ! For a Box Stock build the detailing is incredible .

Beautiful Hemi Dart ! Your detailing is incredible . The Torq Thrust wheels are a nice touch.

You're correct . On Nov . 24 , 1970 Isaac set a 1 lap record of 201.104 at Talladega with this car . A few months later at Bonneville , Isaac drove this car to 28 Land Speed Records , including 4 World Records . After Bonneville it sat behind Harry Hydes shop and was never run again ! It sat there for 5 years until it was moved to the museum at Talladega . My build represents the way it was painted for the Bonneville trials . The names on the stripe are the crew members that built the car . Harry Hyde put the lightning bolt on the wing . BOB. Isaac was the 2nd driver to exceed 200 mph in a stock car on a closed course . Buddy Baker was the 1st .

Thanks guys . That was built more than 25 years ago . My hands aren't that steady anymore and my eyesight gets worse all the time . I doubt I could do that kind of work today . I still look at it occasionally and think about spraying a nice clear on it , but then I'm afraid of ruining it ! Thanks again . BOB.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I agree , some pretty nice Deoreas here . I guess I'll dig mine out of the back of the cabinet and put it in front where I can see it . That way I might come up with some ideas .

Looks " Right " to me ! Very cool !

Oh yeah . that's sweet looking ! You better post more pics ! !

I followed your WIP and am glad to see it " Under Glass " . It sure turned out pretty ! Very cool build .

Great color combination . That Wet Look Clear is nice stuff .

Very nice , clean Willys . I love the color !

The grille and headlights look good . And I vote for keeping the visor . . . it looks cool !

Welcome to the forum Rob . Did anybody tell you that some kid stole your dune buggy ? Looks about 4 feet tall ! Seriously , I like what you've done with the suspension . Can you get any closer pictures ?

I got one of these a few months ago as a glue bomb . With a little detailing the engine and Art Morrison suspension could look great ! But that body is just plain UGLY ! I played around on the computer trying different ideas and came up with a couple body mods that look pretty good . They include sectioning the body at a slight angle to give the illusion of a lowered front without messing with the suspension . I'll post the drawings if you are interested . I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with as it has a lot of potential .

I like what you're doing here . Pretty sharp ! I was at my LHS today and they had two sets of those rims . One chrome and one gold . Now that I see them on a build I might go back and grab them .

I spent a little time over the weekend and set the body on the chassis to set the ride height . The rear is stock and the front was lowered by flipping the spindles . I was hoping it would be lower , but it looks okay . Stock height would have been terrible ! The wheels and tires are from the 'cuda kit . I gave the wheels a wash with Black Detailer and a coat of dullcoat . the chrome is very thin and peeled right of with masking tape , so I touched up the rims with Chrome Silver . The redlines are stickers . The interior is pretty much finished . Just need to adjust the fit of the side panels . I tried BMF on the trim , but I just don't have the knack for it yet , so I used my trusty old brush . Any comments ? I've never spent much time on interiors , so I'm learning here . Next , I can get back to the body work and paint . Then I can set that Hemi in there and finish it up ! BOB.

I missed the Vette , but I'll be watching this one . Your mods to the body are awesome !

That's one sweet Corvette ! The level of detail is great . How long ago did you build it , and hve you finished anything since ?

I'm also a Chevy guy . But I like all brands of cars and currently drive a Toyota daily and an El Camino for fun ! Chris , Very nice looking Camaro . The stance is perfect . And the engine looks great ! But if it were mine I think I'd scrape off the Toyota sticker .

I never get tired of looking at your builds . This Hemi Dart is my favorite ! Maybe you can do something about the mold line running around the tread of the front tires . . . Just something I notice every time I look at the photo . Looking forward to seeing more of your work . BOB.

Hey Corey , That's one beautiful Charger ! I'm still amazed at the level of detail you're capable of . And welcome to this forum ! Things move pretty fast here , so there is always something new to admire . BOB.

Some of my Favorites ! Seeing them all together in one photo is pretty cool .

That's CRAZY ! ! ! I Love It ! ! !

Nice looking Bullit Mustang ! Lets see some more !

WOW ! Another superb Modified !
