Jeff Johnston Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Finally finished this one. Scale Finishes paint, Modelhaus Steelie wheels and red line tires. Caps are from Mark Nellis which I chromed with the "Ginsu powder stuff". I dirtied up the chassis to make t look like a typical driver...shiny paint and a realistically not so perfect undercarriage.
DRG Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Wow, that is one nice looking build. Love the paint job and vinyl roof. Engine detail is great, but if memory serves me correct, the positive battery cable goes to a relay then to the starter. I could be wrong, that was a long time ago.
Jon Cole Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Way nice Mopar, Jeff! I like the weathered chassis... that is how they are up here! But... no opening doors & trunk?
george 53 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 WoW! it sure came out NICE! Me an Crazy Jim went in on some of that stuff, but i must be doin somethin wrong, caz I haven't gotten a shine like that! Your Dart came out GREAT!!!

Me an Crazy Jim went in on some of that stuff, but i must be doin somethin wrong, caz I haven't gotten a shine like that! Your Dart came out GREAT!!! This has a couple coats of Testors Wet Look clear, then polished smooth with Micro Mesh. The Scale Finishes stuff needs a clear coat to shine.
VW Dave Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I'm an admitted A-body Mopar fan, and I must say I love it!! The redlines and steelies really set it off.
jeff ewaskey Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I have the same kit waiting to be built. I hope I can get mine to turn out at least half as nice as yours has. Impressive little Mopar you built.Great job!!!!!!
Chris C Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Excellent, steelies look the goods. I've had one of these in the stash for some time, awaiting this same paintjob and a Mod Top. One day....
MrObsessive Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Jeff you really captured "the look" on this one! Something about those steelies gives it a rather sinister look! I've got this one too and haven't looked at it in years................now I've got some ideas.....................
Kris Morgan Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Wow, That is AWSOME!!!. I love the vinal top and, steelies. Love the color as well, it really captures "the look". Beatiful engine detailing.
Green Duster Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I'm a A body Mopar guy also. Great job!
W-409 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Wow, clean Dart, very clean! I like the engine detailing, specially that carburetor looks great! Also paintjob looks very good and it's so clean build, there are no mistakes and everything is very nicely done. Chassis looks very good too, thank you for sharing!
