I did it to a rare JoHan '63 Dodge MANY years ago, but used the Lindberg stuff like you and it worked fine. Can't wait to see more of this Plymouth! Here's my Dodge: Looks great Dennis. I also have a 63 Dodge, except it’s not as rare, it’s resin. I plan on building mine with a scoop, and fender well headers. I noticed on the 63 Dodge body, that the Lindberg chassis fits in with very little modification. I also have a 62 Plymouth Savoy, and a 62 Fury and they both seem to fit well also. Now, for the 62 Dart I also plan on building, needs even more modifications than the 63 Plymouth did.

Too many moves in the last few years have put off some of my model projects. Glad to see you are using the Missing Link manifolds that I created for Kevin a few of years ago. I have been contemplating sending the body and parts to Kevin to cast as a resin kit, so I may have to dust off my project and finish it. Thanks for the inspiration. Yes, your manifold did the trick. Looks way, way better. Now the carbs are positioned more correctly so I can use the air cleaners. I’ll be using the new manifolds on my other 413 and 426 engines. I have the engine repainted, but I want to do some detail in the crevices. Also I polished the body tonight. Lots of foiling to do on this car.

Thanks Tom, I can't wait see how you progress, your 63 is coming along great. Once my 63 is done, I will start working on my 62 Plymouth wagon, but there is a lot to do and I am just scratching the surface on this project.

I’ve already changed some things from my original plan I had written down. It’s good practice for my other max wedge projects coming up.
Brutalform Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 I just installed an air conditioner in my building room so I will be definitely getting some more bench time in.
Brutalform Posted July 2, 2019 Author Posted July 2, 2019 Sure glad I used these resin intake manifolds. The engine looks more realistic over using the kit intakes. I cut the tabs on the bottom of the air cleaners, so they fit into the Fireball carbs. Now they are removable. Also polished the body. And got the emblems done. Probably start foiling tomorrow.
Sam I Am Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) I am really drawn to these body styles. I have the Color Me Gone that I have been converting into a pro street car. Keep up the great work ! Edited July 2, 2019 by Sam I Am

Since I robbed parts from the Color Me Gone kits, I’ll most likely do something similar with the spare parts left over.
zakdoggi Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Great job on the engine. Those carbs really set it off.
David G. Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Excellent work so far! Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. David G.
JohnU Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 This is awesome! Love the 63 Fury! I’m inspired to try this myself with my kits as well! Please keep up the great work and info!
Brutalform Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) Did some work on the Fury today, and some more work tonight. I plan on doing three more max wedge cars when this one is completed. A few mistakes. I forgot to make the gap where the fender meets the rocker panel. And I do believe the Carter carbs should be an aluminum color? The Duplicolor paint seems to have too large of metallic flakes in it. And the passenger front rims air valve fell off. I have another, but I’ll still be short one from the other pack. I’m tired now so I’ll get the last few things done on it in the morning. Then I’ll get better pics in better light. Edited July 9, 2019 by Brutalform
Snake45 Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Looks great. One of the nicest builds of this kit I've ever seen. Drive on!
