Al Eckstrands 1964 Plymouth - Lawman

[gtx6970]

Only took me nearly 10 years.

 

I actually started one of these maybe 30 years ago with a Johan kit, That one,,, Didn't turn out so well.

 

These Lindberg 1964 Dodge and Plymouths kits are one of my favorites to build. As I think I have 6 different versions built. And decals and kits to do maybe 3 or 4 more to do. (better get busy I guess)

 

Needless to say, I was glad when this version came out from Lindberg. As its one of my favorite SS cars from the period. I've always thought it was a killer looking car .

Actually, saw the 1/1 version many years back (probably a clone) 

Well, going thru my display case this morning I noticed this build was never completed. 

Missing just about everything under hood. Except the engine itself

Rear axle was broken.  Taillights were gone. Not a pretty picture.

So, I took a few hours today. And I can 'finally' say, it is now.

 

Except for the bench seat conversion. It's just a pretty simple basic box stock build 

 

Thanks for looking. And comments or criticisms are more than welcome.

The Mopar drag teams during the 60's had some of the best looking cars out there and you certainly did this one justice.

Now that’s some great masking work the build came out really nice. I always admire your paint work and I’m super jealous of that warm dry Arizona air you have .
