The burnt rubber on the quarters is a novel idea.....Great job!

Thanx Darryl and Bill! I'm really happy about this one, and I like those rubber pieces too on the rear fenders. They just fit nicely to this kind of Drag Car.

WOW! This is gorgeous! That engine...man - very, awesome. I'm about to start this kit and this build has really inspired me.

I have to ask...how did you go the burnt rubber?

awesome job buddy ! It looks very good.

Thanks, Scott!

I'm glad to hear that my thread has inspired you. This is great kit and turns out very nice. It's very fun to build too, I didn't find any bigger fit issues from this kit.

I have to ask...how did you go the burnt rubber?

I took one spare tire from my parts box. (The one you would never use). I installed the tire to the Motor Tool, there are many different ways to do this. One way is to drill a hole in spare wheel and install the wheel and tire combination to that motor tool with a screw. The way that I used for this, was to find some kind of round sanding tool what fits to Dremel and inside the tire. Then I just did a "Burnout" with that Dremel + Tire combination on piece of sheet metal, saved the burnt rubber and glued it to Dart with some clear by Revell.

Hope this helps, I'll post pictures if this wasn't clear enough. (My bad english....)

And thanks Brett! I'm very happy about this one too. One of my favorite Mopar Super Stockers. It's great to have one in the display case now.

Thanks Niko. That makes perfect sense. Thank you for the tip! Again, great build.

Niko... job well done on this one bud. I love the added touch of the burn out rubber on the rear quarter panels. cant wait to see what your next project will be.

Scott: Thanks, I'm glad you understood what I tried to say...

Chris: Thanks! I've noticed that many people like that Burnt rubber, I like it too. Well I must put it for the '70 Torino Stocker too. I started a thread about '69 Chrysler 300 with Blown Hemi to On The Worbench. Yep, it'll be street car.

And I'm working on the '62 Catalina Super Stocker too, just painted the body today... Also I'll keep building the Torino Stocker.

Niko, you did very nice job with this one! It looks very good in pics but in person it's looks just amazing!

Thanks, Matti! You're probably one the only persons in this forum, who have seen this (or will see this) in person.
