signguy2108 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Well, it seems i'm on the wrong side of the forum....been looking at this duster for i think a couple of years now, and never liked the body shape, so yesterday i was just in one of those I don't care moods. So i took a saw to it, moved the roof back a little over a 1/2", filled in the grille, added a spoiler and side skirts. Got it primed this morning, probably go back in the box now, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signguy2108 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Sorry, my interweb has a thing about going off in the afternoons during summer. Yeah, im a little more excited about working on this since it went so well. Got a more massaging to do before paint, but its really an easy conversion. I had the chassis slated for a 48 Fiat model of a 1:1 a freind owns, but looks like it will have to wait. Maybe more in a few days, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in Berwyn Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) First, I wish I had the nerve to try and pull that off - it looks great!  What did you use to fill in the hood - sheet plastic and filler? You might want to see if there is a way to open the side windows up vertically - Ramchargers and this Custom Body car seem to be like that. https://www.google.com/search?q=custom+body+dart+funny+car&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#imgrc=5ER1EfInBxllaM: Edited May 26, 2019 by Chris in Berwyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrobarry Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 You`ve got a good eye for proportion. The mods look right. Keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signguy2108 Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 It WILL get finished, lowered it a little but can't take much out of the side windows else u start thinning the width of the roof. Im going more for a current built nostalgia car and there is 3 or 4 different styles on these anyway. It finally stopped raining every other day and I got snapped back into the real world for a few weeks, but ill get more done to it soon.....thanks for the interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
