That shade of blue shows all the nice factory body lines.

Looks good in blue Ken. Are you going with the white/ black interior?

Hard too go wrong with any of those two colors. Look great in blue. I remember a Red Duster with black interior with cregers on it it was sharp…

thanks Carl, in my home town there was a red one and a dark brown one both with cragers and yes, they were both sharp looking.

thanks David, the flat black hood and trim should help even more.

I have the basic engine assembled and ready for paint. thanks everyone for the kindness and comments.

I got a good jump on the engine, and started on the chassis.

Those air cleaner decals on late 60's / early 70's can be tricky but it looks like you got yours to lay down nicely. When I first started out in modeling I used thread as for spark plug wires which worked fairly well for a while and then I discovered the material for them from Lex's Scale Modeling.

Coming along nicely here Ken

The 340 is looking good Ken.

well I got the wheels done and still need to sand the tire treads. thank you all for the input.

[Bronzekeg]

got the driveshaft, exhaust system, rear axle and shocks finished. so far it's been a nice fitting kit to build and recommended.

What Blue is that? It looks great, I went with 2009 Surf Blue that is a match to my daily driver 2009 Challenger.

I like the car, HAAAATE the commercials!

Limu Emu slogan is nothing. My friend, who used to have an account at Washington Mutual Bank, would tell me he had to get some money from "Wash Mutt"!

Limu Emu is an insurance company and not a bank
