feretzrus Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Started out mating Johan's '62 Chrysler rear with a '61 Dodge front. The sedan roof is a Modelhaus item, with the window posts made from sheet plastic. The chassis/suspension was heavily modified Lindberg's '64 Dodge parts. The interior is also derived from the '64 Dodge, with the exception of the modified '61 Dodge dashboard. The motor and other underhood bits are from the parts box, all wired and plumbed.

Hubert Rollins Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 That is an exceptional model!!! Excellent craftsmanship!! I really admire all you guys who piece different kits together to build a certain car. That's really wanting to build one!! I only have patience for what's in the box for the most part. Your detail and paint work are excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizardlust Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 BEAUTIFUL craftsmanship on the conversion - it truly appears as an injection-molded piece!! The clear headlights are a marked improvement over the chromed ones that were engraved with the grille as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Excellent conversion! I see more added details every time I look. (And did I leave my lunchbox on the front seat?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Very, very well done! And yes, it DOES look like a kit! Excellent bodywork, and one would never know this was a conversion unless you told 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Goschke Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Wow! What an amazing model! Love all the little details you've lavished on this relatively obscure, but very cool, "more-door." I think my favorite touch is reverse side of the dashtop speedometer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I think my favorite touch is reverse side of the dashtop speedometer!Does anybody know what the point of that was? It's a pretty weird feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Great deal of body work to create this body style. Under hood detail is exceptional and the heater hose clamps really stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod3l Lover Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Does anybody know what the point of that was? It's a pretty weird feature. I bet just for natural illumination reasons. But you would still need a bulb at night, unless you are counting on a lot of street lights!?! Shine on and be happy, David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mod3l Lover Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Oh, . . . by the way. Tom I just love thismodel! I keep finding goodies the more Ilook at it. David S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Does anybody know what the point of that was? It's a pretty weird feature. 1962 was barely out of the '50's and it was just another one of those '50's jet age gimmicks! They would have been designing those in the 1959-60 time period and so it goes. Neat feature, but as David said you'd still need a light at night which was probably that "Mopar Green". I can remember seeing my Dad's '57 lit up that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
