Off to a good start,Davin. Personally, I LIKE this kit. i matched it up with an original AMT 65 Dodge, an it looked pretty good to me. I don't understand why folks don't like it. It'll look sinister in black, you leavein it that color?

[mopar01lee]

Yeah I like this kit also , I have a red , cream , an this black one . An yes its gonna stay black . Plans are for a indy head 528 hemi , with a inline rat roaster ........

Davin - I'm a big fan of those mid-60's Mopars, and I like what you're doing with yours for sure. I'm also calling you a bad influence, as you've made me dig out the same model(also in black) from my stash and add it to my 'to do' list.

I'm hoping you do shorten that hood scoop a tad, as it reminds me too much of Paul Teutul Jr.'s nose :

[mopar01lee]

just a lill update .. i decided to do a fuel pump an some A N fittings ... hope yall like..lol

its not a big update as ive been workin on the general lee gettin it ready for paint an decals..
