Larry Griffith 1968 Hemi Dart

Nothing fancy 

Probably gonna be a stock box build with exception to aftermkt decals.

 

Been a while since I've done one of these.  So felt better ck it closely as I go along. 

 

I was actually a little worried I had opened the rear wheel wells to much.

But.....I  think I have it about right.

( fingers crossed )

 

Anyone dare a guess which car it's going to be ?

Shirley Shahan? Looks pretty darn good. Is this the car you were after on eBay? The rear wheel wells look great. I think Revell had the guide lines a bit off on the inner fenders.

I was after ( since found ) a Landy SS/EA Dart kit .

 

This is not Shirley Shahan's car, Good guess. Though,

Ive never even considered that one. Might have to look for decals now that you mention it . I have several of these kits on the shelf

I need to get another one of these kits too. I built a red  Hemi Dart with black interior, a while back, and was meaning to get another. I’d like to build one as it came from the factory, in primer with the black front end.

Also, are you planning on removing the side marker lights on the front fenders?

Yes....actually already gone since these pics were taken

[Brutalform]

I figured so. You know your Mopars pretty well. 
When I did mine, I tried my hand at removing the interior arm rests, and adding seat belts to operate the windows.

Wow.

 

They look good.

 

I'm afraid I'm not getting that detail involved 

 

I'm thinking at the most plug wires and fuel lines.

Or just keep it box stock????

Here's a resin interior I bought ages ago when the '68 LO23 / GTS kit was released (see link). I got it so that I could have the "delete" dash , and the door cards.

Its The Larry Griffith 1968 SS / A Hemi dart 

 

Got the body painted yesterday . Decals today ( THAT was fun . )  My Slixx decals are starting to get old, And Even though I put a clear topcoat of these before working with them . I still had cracking issues 

I had a MAD pre wired dist, so decided to use it . Might still add fuel lines . Maybe

The paint and decals look amazing Bill. I can’t wait to see the finished car.
