Working on the Revell 68 "special edition" Hemi Dart, and trying to fit the Aoshima BBS wheels under it.

So, with a little help from a donor WRC Corolla, it's gonna work.. I hope.. :)

cool build , rims are cool and could make it into a modern undercarridge and look etc .. not sure bout those arches ! too round and imo it would be better to narrow the axle and make the tubs bigger , that would really make it brutal .. the arches have a high risk of ruining the squareness of the car

Cheers Richard, i have mini tubed it, and they still stick out. As usual, i want something different, and my 1:1 has this style of flare, so i suppose i just want to try something , to see if i can mate. :)  Thanks for the input. 

Left one stock, right one has been raised and moved inboard, i don't want full tubs on this one.

Nice looking build. Looks  like those flares have worked out well. See how its looks painted...have you decided on a colour yet????

:):) cool..the rims wil make  it pop. ......nice

Sure will mate, its polishing out very nicely.

 

Well, i got the interior done, tried a few things differently, like  doing all the stitching with thread, and suede inserts as well..

Some BMF thrown in there as well.

I like that interior. What is going to be the body color? 

Thanks guys, it's slowly moving on.

Michael, if you look at the interior pic, there is a Diff housing in the background, that is the color i will be doing the body in.

It is a burnt reddish bronze , if that makes sense, it changes shades depending on the light.

Now that you mentioned it I see it. The interior color should be complimenting it very well.

Very impressive interior. The fender flairs complement the body lines without making them the focal point.

Yet another WILD build from the depths of DeeCee's hardheaded brain...... And he asks me if I'm "off" my meds at times....... LOL Looks like Dale is off HIS meds this round!

That interior is PROOF of that statement!! ^_^

BUT, I gotta say that interior is down-right A-W-E-S-O-M-E.... That thread-work you did is just plain out & out AWESOME detail for that interior!!!!

And then, the body work too? WOWZER!!!!! I love the way the fenders down't protrude excessively and look GREAT, as some fender flaring looks down right absurd, this one how you went about it? PERFECTLY executed!

Like me, your always out to do something WAY outside of the box! -Like my "Doomz Day" build!

now worked into the body they look great ! :)

 

Thanks guys, Richard, ya just got to have faith in the vision mate... ;)

 

Well, i got the paint down, here it is blocked back with 3000 , 6000 , 12000 wet/dry, ready for BMF,

This has not been polished yet.
