oldscool Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Finally got this one finished. Weather won't allow outdoor pics as usual so this is the best I can do for now. Things that were changed from OOB include: 1. resin valve covers from Speed City 2. carbs from AMT 60 Ford Starliner kit 3. intake bells from parts box 4. drilled out headers 5. removed brake vacuum booster 6. deleted windshield washer and wipers 7. added subframe connectors 8. removed muffler mounts from chassis 9. filled stock spring mounting holes I actually managed to get the bottom radiator hose on which is a first for me but gave up on the front shocks. Hope you aren't too tired of looking at it, gus Edited April 2, 2011 by GrumpyGus
Naydrus Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Wow, looks good man...where did you get the sponsor decals?
oldscool Posted April 2, 2011 Author Posted April 2, 2011 Wow, looks good man...where did you get the sponsor decals? The decals came from the kit except the Hooker Headers and the "the Boss" graphic which came from the Revell 67 Charger 2n1 kit. The Isky cam logo came from an old sheet in my parts box. gus
Naydrus Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Nice.... Ill have to find some.. or make my printer work and print my own decals.
Dr. Cranky Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 That is one smooth and clean model. I really love that engine and chassis.
lrlocke01 Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Absolutely beautiful. I love how this car looks in white. Great job.
W117monte Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Nice job. The boss lettering looks good, you had talked in an earlier post about changing it, but im glad you dindt. I dont think the "hemi thunder" decals that come with the kit look right on a 60s style race car, but your lettering does! Edited April 3, 2011 by W117monte

oldscool Posted April 3, 2011 Author Posted April 3, 2011 That is one smooth and clean model. I really love that engine and chassis. Coming from someone with your skills, that is a real compliment. gus
W-409 Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 That's really nice Dart! I like the decals of it, they are fitting very nicely. I think, the color looks good too, and that matt black hood is nice. Valve covers on the Hemi are great, and detailing is nice. For the carbs, I'd like to paint those holes black... (don't know their name in enghlish...) But nice car anyway.
dimaxion Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Great work, Gerald! That engine bay looks sweet! Just right . Looks like this Spinnaker White beauty has yet to prove itself . Thanx ..
