MyBradKeselowski Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I like the wheels, are they from the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Z Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 That's looking really good Walt, I like the wheels. I need to get a few sets of those one for my Dart and another for a 70' Coronet R/T I am planning on doing. The third, well that's just for safe keeping.. BTW. VERY nice job on opening up the wheel wells... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Walt- Nice work so far. That first photo is the way I want to build one of mine. In an "As Delivered" state. Always loved those 68- 69 Darts. I came across a 68 convertible in my area a couple years ago just rotting away in a friends yard. She said that it belonged to her son and she wanted it gone. I told her that I would take it away for her. It wasn't long and her son had taken it to his place. LOL!!! Oh well, I missed again. Keep the updates coming. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walt francis Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 I said after the last two distributors I wouldn't lace another one, Well was i kidding my self or what .

T-Bolt427 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Nice job so far! How do you guys feel about the pattern on the inside of the body to open up the wheel wells? I don't think it looks quite right. It almost looks like it would open them up too much and that it makes too much of an arch. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
