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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino246gt Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino246gt Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.🤭 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgefever Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 On 2/20/2024 at 3:08 PM, dino246gt said: 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
