1972coronet Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I shot a message to A Few Sprues Loose via eBay , enquiring about any plans he may have pertaining to potentially offering a grille & tail lamp panel filler for the MPC '76 Dart Sport ; here's his reply : 2
Mr mopar Posted February 12 Posted February 12 That's good news ,I never like the Dart sport tail panel chrome ! 1

I never understood why the '75-'76 ( and '74-'76 Scamp / Valiant / Dart ) A-bodies were festooned with that anodised aluminium embellishment... ... not to mention the ugly '74-'75 steering wheel (excepting, of course, the Tuff-Grip tiller). 1
catpack68 Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) Yes! I talked to him a few months ago about the same thing.I will definitely buy several sets. Edited February 12 by catpack68 1
Mr mopar Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) this should be interesting ! Edited February 12 by Mr mopar 1
1972coronet Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Yep, a Dart Sport Rallye would be a natural ! 1
drodg Posted February 13 Posted February 13 This is great news. I built a Hang Ten with Keith Marks decals and kept the aluminum panel on. Keith Marks btw, I cannot seem to find his Fotki sight.. anyone know how to contact him?

1972coronet Posted April 24 Author Posted April 24 UPDATE ! I received an email from A Few Sprues Loose regarding the '73-'74 Dart Sport conversion parts. Here's photos of what he provided (see below). He also mentioned upgraded grilles for the '73-'76 Duster ! 3
catpack68 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I have been looking foward to this grllle and tailight panel being released!

Received mine yesterday- you won't be disappointed ! The grilles are 'open' (why can't this be done with mass-produced kits ? Maybe I'm comparing grapes and watermelons here ; and, at the risk of going ad hominem , why doesn't the Revell Stranger Things Blazer (a sweet kit unto its self) have an open-grille ? If the 3D printed parts can be produced with open grilles, why can't the moulded kits have that feature ?). I haven't test-fitted them yet, so I can't attest to how much reworking is done ( '73 / '74 Dart Sport ) , nor how well they'll fit to the original MPC '73 , '74, & '75 Duster annuals' bodies ('75 / '76 Duster 'Custom' ( Silver Duster for '76 ) ). 1
