No problem Gary!

If you're not looking closely it could easily be mistaken for a Hemi with that nasty looking cross ram!

You must be really proud of this build, Steve..... exceptional detail as mentioned, and this is the level of workmanship that I should be aiming for. Well done indeed, Sir  !

Again, another stunning model car from your bench.  Just gorgeous.

The only thing that strikes my eye as being somewhat out of place is the crease under the vinyl top at the rear.  It seems a bit too pronounced.  I checked out 65's online, so definitely an issue with this mold, not your fault.  Your models are so perfect, there is really nothing to knock.  I don't mean to knock either, your expertise is so far advanced this small comment does not affect whatsoever.

I like the motor swap.  I saw a 65 just now online for sale, with a 426 Max Wedge.  Love it.

And now....how on earth do you make such beautiful and correct carbs?

Just an amazing model.  Compliments.

Mike..

I guess that crease is something that I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to Mike.

I just accepted the fact that Johan did such a nice job with proportions as a rule that it never crossed my mind to look at it.

 

I wish that I could take credit for "making the carbs", but that distinction must go to the real creator, Joseph Osborn at Fireball Modelworks.

Thanks to him, we have some really great detail parts that have absolutely no rival.

His carbs are unmatched by anybody!

I'd say what I think of it but I've worn out my thesaurus looking for variations on "superlative"!

Thanks Chris.

If I knew the definition of that word, I suspect that I might be flattered.

My gosh that’s spectacular. I don’t think it could be better, not only in the build itself but the overall colors and theme of the car. Fantastic!

[Furiousgeorge]

I followed this build on another board, and it’s amazing! Makes me miss my ‘66 Sport Fury terribly....

 

[StevenGuthmiller]

I can't express my gratitude for all of the wonderful comments enough!

Thank you all for replying!

Awesome!

[Geno]

Steve, words are beyond me, all I can do is drool lol. 

[Plowboy]

Nice looking Plymouth! It's also nice to see something besides a Hemi under the hood.

[Peter Lombardo]

Beautiful build, just so "period" correct and the color suits it very well, love it.

[Lunajammer]

Another home run Steve. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Holey smokes!!  When looking at the outdoor photos, if I didn't know it was a model, I'd swear I was looking at the real thing.

Outstanding work!

[StevenGuthmiller]

Thank you so much guys!

It's a real treat to receive so many gracious comments!

It surprised me how much fun I had working on this project given all of the detailing that I put into it.

I expected to lose interest after getting pretty deep into it, but I couldn't wait to get into the shop to work on it.

I hope my next project holds my interest as well.

Thanks Mike!

You can see it any time.

All you have to do is run out to Hawley.

 

Barring any unforeseen events, I'm confident that it will make an appearance at next spring's NNL North show.

I realized that I neglected to post any chassis shots, so here are a couple.

 

 

 

 

 

I also thought that this would make a fun grouping.

A "class of '65" photo of the Plymouth along with an MPC '65 Dodge Monaco and a Johan '65 Chrysler 300.

The Fury is one exceptional build.

I really enjoy watching your builds come together the way they do.
