restoman Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 This is a re-do of an older build... I replaced the 383 big block automatic with a resin 340 4speed, and modified the interior to make it a non-console four speed hump. I went with a Fireball Holley, a resin dual snorkel breather, some Fireball resin BFGs and a set of Cragars from a '66 Nova. The old, too-thick urethane was stripped from the body, a vinyl roof was added and the Light Bronze comes from some thinned nail polish followed by a single coat of automotive clear. The flat hood is a Hart's Parts piece. Wish it would stay flat... I spent waaaayyyy too long getting through this, but I'm happy how it sits. Built more as a Day Two car than a stock 340 car. Comments always welcome.
Hmann68 Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Great looking car! Love the Cragars and the color! Clean build and it's a good color choice on a Dart.
Dann Tier Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 EXCEPTIONAL!!!!......is that carb from Fireball Modelworks?
asfastasu Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Very nice execution!! Where did you get the resin dual snorkel air cleaner from?
berr13 Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Excellent! Looks like you could drive it right off the lot!
restoman Posted February 6, 2018 Author Posted February 6, 2018 Thanks for the comments. Yup: the bumper guards are in the kit, and the carb is one of those excellent Fireball pieces, as are the tires. The dual snorkel is one of many copies I made from the '71 Charger kit.
Michael in Illinois Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 That is way nice, great color with the white roof
donb Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Great build. Nice exterior and interior. Nice job.
Lizard Racing Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 My cousin had one of these. He was as wild as the car was. Yours is a good re-creation.
moparfarmer Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Bright Bronze metallic with white..Very classy and brings back some memories of my younger days..Very nicely done and super clean..
