Lindberg 1964 Dodge 330

I recently finished up my Lindberg 1964 Dodge 330. This is the 2006 Lindberg reissue, and not the most recent AMT reissue.image.thumb.jpeg.079aad4a46d11b6961973f680d1f08dc.jpeg

For the age of the kit, it went together quite well. Although I did have issues with my nemesis (radiator hoses), and the rear bumper gave me fits. Go figure.

The vision for this build was that of a regular, every day, commuter car or “grocery getter”. Nothing fancy, just a good, all-around car. The build is box-stock, but I did use the dash decals, Dodge logos, & Michigan plates from the most recent (2023) AMT kit. Color is Dupli-color Santa Fe Tan with a Tamiya Light Blue XF-23 interior.

Coincidentally, I finished this Dodge exactly two years to the day of when I finished the AMT 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 (also a Lindberg kit):image.thumb.jpeg.2f2e5d2df958584ff8b70a80d621c224.jpeg

Silly me! I forgot to post some interior pictures.  Although the directions showed a bench seat, the kit came with bucket seats. Steve Roullier (@rancherosteve) came through with a trade.

That's a fine build there James. I owned an Australian 1964 AP5 Valiant station wagon with the 225cu.in. slant six w/3 speed manual transmission and it kept up with most of the standard small block V8s that Ford and GM had to offer. 

Cheers, 

David. ??
