Pair of 64 Mopars

[Jon Haigwood]

I don't normally post in "on the workbench" but since I won't have these done by the new year I thought I would put these on here to show that actually do work on models

First up is a 64 Dodge 330 that started out as a Color Me Gone and changed to a factory street version that I think depicts the car in "Little Old Lady in Pasadena".

I needed a 4spd so I opted to use the Max Wedge with the manual trans from the Petty Plymouth. I also use the Petty dash to have the right peddle setup. I used some parts box exhaust and modified it into the Max Wedge setup. It is waiting until I can get the body painted and foiled to be finished.

 

Next up is the companion car for the first one. I call it the "Dirty Old Man from Pasadena" . I used the Petty Belvadere . I fortunately it has the stock door panels on the reverse side but there were no arm rest so  had to scratch build some. Since it was to be an automatic I modified the interior hump to be for the automatic. Just like the Dodge it is also waiting for the body to get finished

 

 

 

(oops wrong body in this Pic)

 

I am trying to improve my detailing as I go and work on different aspects as I go. My skill are a work in progress.

Thanks for looking (after I finish these there are two more 64's in the planning stage)

Looks to me like your "skills" are not in progress, they've pretty much arrived!

The both look great as far as I can tell!
