MyBradKeselowski Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) I finally wrapped up my build of the Revell 68 Hemi Dart. I'm really satisfied of how this Revell 68 Dart come out, hope you are too. I know this is not to everyone's perfection so I'll take the comments and tacky criticisms.. LOL !! Edited August 2, 2015 by MyBradKeselowski deleted unnecessary sentences.
Guest Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Nice, 3 things stand out to me that need attention on your next one, I do not think any Darts came with a whiet dash, a white interior probably would have had a black dash and carpeting, also, you missed the seam on the transmission, and painting the battery caps and hold down hardware would add the the realism. Nice otherwise.
MyBradKeselowski Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Thanks everyone for the comments, I really appreciate them..
MOPARmaniac Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I love it I have one in real life, just a 68 4 door but its still nice
Mr mopar Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Cool! A 68' dart with 440 not a Hemi ..........nice work!
Snake45 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Nice work, but I have to admit that I am "unclear on the concept." Is this a former Hemi race car that someone has put a mild, stockish 440 in for street use?
Harry P. Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Gotta agree with Snake. What is it we're looking at here? I see slicks and a roll cage, but a street engine and exhaust setup. "Neither fish nor fowl," as the old saying goes.
Snake45 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Snake, the 440 Magnum is not mild, trust me. Oh, I know, and the 440 Darts built by Mr. Norm were considered darn near uncontrollable. But this one is still wearing a stock air cleaner and stock exhaust manifolds (relatively mild compared to a full-race, dual-carbed hemi). Still trying to figger out why it says "Hemi Thunder" on the sides, too.
MyBradKeselowski Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Let me explain kind of what I was doing, I was going for the look of where someone had took a retired Hemi Dart gave it a new life as a Dart GTS with a new paint job, new racing decals, new tires and wheels and replaced the tired 426 Hemi with a 440 magnum and added the stock factory dual exhausts. Interior was just left as a Hemi Dart with the roll cage still intact so it could be raced at the towns local strip. Sorry I didn't explain where I was going with the look as I don't post my builds on here much but now I understand with you guys as it helps to give a explanation of the look your kind of going for unless it's a OOB build. Thanks again for all your comments I'm really appreciating them.. Snake, the 440 Magnum is not mild, trust me. Snake the 440 Magnum is not mild it supposed to look stock but with a hidden surprise.. LOL !! Edited July 30, 2015 by MyBradKeselowski rewording
rmvw guy Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 It looks perfect to me! This one is on my bucket list.
MyBradKeselowski Posted September 15, 2015 Author Posted September 15, 2015 Nice build . . . for a fishy fowl! It looks perfect to me! This one is on my bucket list. Thanks guys for the comments
