I'm sorry but I can't remember, I kit bash a lot of my kits. I have piles of diffs and driveshafts and headers and stuff, like most of us! It does look pretty small though doesn't it, but I'm sure it's MoPar.

Sun visors made from 2 layers of .010, poor lighting makes it hard to see that one layer is slightly larger for an edge effect, never seen, but just a fun thing to try.

 the Savoy I just needed the tail lights, I'll use the Mobius bumper.

Here's the look I was hoping for from the rear.

 

[dino246gt]

At the front I drilled out the headlights and used parts box clear lenses over foiled "buckets".

Remember that I scraped out between the bumper and grille, then I painted that flat aluminum.

Here's the finished engine bay.

And how I'll display it at our club meeting.

That's about it! Cheers.

Looks fantastic Dennis, came out great.

 

Speaking of grew up with. I still remember sitting in my parents 1966 Fury wagon where you could turn on the four way flashers and set the turn signals to one side or the other and step on the brakes. By doing so you could listen to the radio without having a key in the ignition. Guess I was lucky I never killed the battery.?

Beautiful work! What a great kitbash!

[moparfarmer]

I knew Dennis did a lot of work on it but this sure lets you see how he did it..The Fury(JoHan) came from me..It hurt to part with it but I knew it would be a show stopper when done..Excellent work Dennis..

 

[Straightliner59]

Very nice, Dennis! Dig the Minnesota plate, too!

Nice work.  A bit late now, but for future reference or anyone else building one, the front subframe is not a separate part on B bodies, so only the K-member and trans mount would be black; the rest body colour/primer.  Also, the '63 has the cowl curve up into the windshield, where '64-'65 have flat cowls and larger windshields.

[slusher]

Impressive work and outstanding detai!!

[Zippi]

Looking really good so far.  

[bill-e-boy]

What a fantastic kit bash. The end result is amazing

[Moparman18064]

Outstanding

[gtx6970]

Looks amazing. 

 

But am curious, Why not just use the Johan Body with Moebius for everything else 

[doggie427]

Beautiful work Dennis.

[tim boyd]

I just like torturing myself!

Really, I do think that the Mobius is more correct, and they're not quite the same size.

I WAS surprised to see the different roof though, I actually and mistakenly, thought only the front clip would need to be changed.

I did enjoy doing it.
