whale392 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 That is the Lindberg body. The old JoHan kit was a Polara440 or 500 kit, as it had the smooth roof and thinline C-pillars.
jedimastergary Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Cool Looks like a great start I have a lindberg 330 that has a straight 6 or V8 motor choice and have not decided how to build it but after looking at some books find the real one had a bench seat not buckets and the kit says it has a 383 but I do not find one listed for 1964 dodge cars in my book so might build it as a classic street racer type car
Car Crazy 81 Posted May 10, 2010 Author Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) Heres some progress on the 330 i'd painted the body,firewall & inner fenderwells with Rust-Oleum Sunrise Red it took four paint attempts to get it right now i'd need to paint the interior the same color except gonna dullcoat it to give it that flat look and ditching the kits bench seat & rear seat in favor of a set of bucket seats from a Revell 68 Charger and no back seat drivers.

whale392 Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 As a Mopar B-Body fan and owner of 2 1965 Dodge Coronet500s............I like this build and it is looking good.
Deckerz Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 beat me to it This was going to be my next project, at least i can see the quality of this kit now, it looks nice, i think i might buy it just for those cam covers, they are very well detailed, looks like this project is going nicely, keepin my eyes on it.
elan Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 That's an interesting color choice. I like it. I did mine in maroon/maroon and white interior.

Declan- Those valve covers thats on the Hemi are resin pieces from Competition Resins and the Hemi is from a AMT 69 GTX kit the kit comes with a 426 Wedge engine which i'd wasnt happy with so i'd went with the newer Hemi.

Car Crazy 81 Posted May 11, 2010 Author Posted May 11, 2010 Heres an updated pic of the 330. The interior parts are still curing so i can spray on some Testors Dull-Coat to flatten the red to make the interior realistic.

I have a few myself I'm looking forward to building.

Car Crazy 81 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Posted May 21, 2010 More progress i'd painted the wheel centers last night i'd used Testors Gunship Gray and the caps in Chrome Silver and boy this was tedious work thank god for the magnifying glass with the LED light that i'd bought from Harbor Freight for 6 bucks. Now the 330 is on all fours for good.
geckoman1220 Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 those wheels look so good on it, also love your computer background, go saints!!!!
