Dodge Dart Swinger 1970 Street/Drag

[Reuhkapelti2]

Under 8 sec. quarter mile, almost street legal in Finland late 1980 early 1990 was the 1:1 car. This model is as close as I could copy it. The real car still exists, the new owner has made some modifications to it, but not too much. 

This is a AMT kit Richard Petty with big tire openings etc. I had a big job to make it look like this. All the decals are self made too. The red/black stripes are painted.

Very cool work !

That looks amazing. Looks like you've done a great job getting the underbody brace, detachable front end and the working hinge! It reminds me of fastest street legal car (It was Vauxhall Victor) in England.

You've done a solid job on this, very nicely built and detailed.

I like it.  I suppose a guy could use the wheel openings from the Revell 68-9 Dart kits? Be neat to see a a stock or stock-ish 70 Dart.

Thanks everybody. this one was a fun but a tricky to build. I already finished the new version of this same car, as it nowadays exists here in Finland. The owner contacted me and asked if I would build his car as a model. I did and now it's in his house.  it's a curbside model.

Great build Ismo!  I love these little Dodge/Plymouth bodies and you did a great job from bumper to bumper!  I also scratchbuilt one as bracket drag racer so I know all the work necessary to make one.  Yours looks mean and fast!!!!!!!!!!! ?
