MOPARmaniac Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Hey guys this is going to be a project replica of my real 4 door dart that I have
MOPARmaniac Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 This kit is revell's new 1968 dart 2 n 1 Hemi kit. You can make a hemi or a GTS but since mine is a 4 door its going to be a bit different. Painted the grille to look like a 4 doors and since 4 doors have plain flat hoods I figured the easiest way to get one is to cut off the top of the HEMi dart hood scoop and place it in the hole in the hood and any extra cracks will be fileed in with filler I got off ebay for 3 bucks
MOPARmaniac Posted August 20, 2015 Author Posted August 20, 2015 Filled in the holes and cracks in the hood now just have to sand it down
b-body fan Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I thought that kit contains a flat hood also. The one I have does. You may want to look through the box again.
Kit Basher Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I thought that kit contains a flat hood also. The one I have does. You may want to look through the box again.The kit has the scoop hood and the GTS hood, which has two "humps". I am also building a stock one of these and did basically the same thing Jericho has done. The real trick will be converting it to a four door. I'm looking forward to how you do that, Jericho. Carry on!
b-body fan Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 You are correct. I checked last night late. Build on.
charlie8575 Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Cool!Can we talk you into sending this to D.R.A.G. to get it cast? I'm up for one.Charlie Larkin
MOPARmaniac Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 Ok, now the engine. My dart has a 360 four barrel and I went to ebay and looked but found nothing cheap. But then I figured a 340 looks the same so Ill just make it look like my 360.
MOPARmaniac Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 However, then extra stuff like alternator and carburetor suck so some more detailed parts will come from the actual dart kit
MOPARmaniac Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 The front fenders and trunklid had GTS emblems on them, removed them all
b-body fan Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Looks like you did a really nice job on that hood. Can't wait to see the 4 door conversion.
MOPARmaniac Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 Now the engine os mostly done, just have to get a starter, carburetor, fan belt air cleaner, fan
MOPARmaniac Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 Alright guys Im back into it, got the trunk lid made, engine almost done,Grille almost done, and FOR THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR, THE 4 DOOR CONVERSION!!!
