Great project Bill! I really like what your doing. I too have been sitting on a 63 Dodge and a Lindberg 64 Dodge kit to do what your doing here. A little more information on fitting the chassis into the body would be really appreciated! Looks beautiful so far!  

This work ?

MOST of the BMF work is done

Need a sharper blade to finalize the fender trim

 

Body . Interior and chassis are now one

Time to finish up the engine and suspension in next few days 

 

That little Dodge emblem was done with a VERY fine brush. My lighted magnifier and fusion chrome paint

Turned out A LOT better than I expected.

That's looking really good.

Trying to decide on tires 

Between close to the actual car with Black side walls

Or dual pinstripe White walls, which is kind of the way I'm leaning. As I think It looks "right" for the period 

 

With the mods/ variations im going to make with the headers and rear axle.

IMO its more a " tribute"  build as opposed to a replica persay

Parts pack tires . Rims from the Mobeius AFX kits

Slowly,,,,But surely

 

Rear wheels from the Moebius AFX kits

Rear tires from the AMT tires parts pack, Ft wheels from the AMT  62 Impala chromed with the fusion chrome paint 

 

Stance is too low in the ft for sure.  But I like it.

I'm calling it more a 'tribute build ' instead of a true replica anyway.

 

But I'm liking this one more and more as it goes along
