“BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 49 BUTCH LEAL’S 1971 PRO STOCK DUSTER

[M W Elky]

I built this with a mix of the most recent amt release, revell’s hemi dart , the wheels are nos johan Fentons , the tunnel ram is from the amt pro street 66 nova, the hood scoop is a comp . Resin, tamyia bright red paint, and slixx decals. For some dumb reason slixx didn’t include the white hood stripe so I had to get a second sheet so that they would match the hood and deck lid . Until next time thanks for looking ?.  Mike

Sharp looking Duster Michael !  I've always liked this car . I built the original MPC kit as a kid and still have it boxed away somewhere .

Looks great Michael, your display case must be getting full.

One of your nicest builds yet, and there have been many great looking racers from your bench! Doesn't hurt that it's a red Mopar. ? Well done.

M W, you are so right about Slixx..I'm currently building my version of the Butch Leal Duster..I've gone through 3 sets of decals from Slixx because they just come apart in water.. I hope to have my build for the forum to see in the next couple of days. Btw, your build turned out really good..I would've never thought to use the tunnel ram from 66 Nova.

Beautifully done Duster!

Another issue I had was notching the white side stripes for the door handles.  MW did a much better job than I did.  This is a fun build and fairly easy with the 66 Nova tubs and intake.  Mine is under Pro Stock fun.  It's not as nice as MW's, but it looks good on my shelf.
