restoman Posted February 5, 2018 Share 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.

Hmann68 Posted February 5, 2018 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

restoman Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share 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.
