1969 Dodge Charger Daytona.

[Shelby 427 1965]

The second of my "aero warriors". I've always adored these cars.

This is the '69 Daytona, painted in Vauxhall Sapphire Blue over a Calsonic blue base coat. Completely box stock, no mods. Sticker on the light was taken from the '68 Hemified Charger, I think.

More in part 2!

And with my personal favourite, the Plymouth Superbird. This one's really worse for wear by this point, really need to build another one.

Thanks for looking, all comments are much appreciated!

nice box stock build. Some info that you may not know, is that they changed the Scat Pack bee for 69 to this one here,

Very nice, needs the rear stripe, and the taillight panel is flat black.

[martinfan5]

Very nice

[Dominik]

Good locking winged-charger. nice!

Perhaps, you can give the sidemarkers a little dot of color?

[surfjunke]

Very nice clean builds, both of them!

[slusher]

Great looking build and very nice color...

[Shelby 427 1965]

Thanks Jason, I wasn't aware of that! I'm not really familiar with Dodge history. I know a little bit but I've always been a Plymouth guy.

@Lee - Yeah, I was aware of those, but I decided to leave it one solid colour with no flat black or stripe to different from everyone elses. Was seriously considering the flat black tail though, but I do like it as it is!

@Dominik - Thanks for the heads up, I never even noticed them! Shows how attentive I am I'll get on that!

Thanks for the kind words everyone, it's much appreciated

I like the "winged things".

[TFchronos]

Beautiful builds, both of them.

[Skydime]

Oh yeah! Both of these are great!

[ChrisR]

Nice!

[Shelby 427 1965]

Cheers everyone, means a lot!

Looks good! Love the Scat Pack sticker on the headlight door. You may want to BMF the wheel lip mouldings while you're doing the side marker lights too. I like the shots of it next to the Superbird.

[Shelby 427 1965]

Cheers! I didn't know they had chrome on the wheel arches. I really should look at more resources before I start

[PARTSMARTY]

THEY BOTH LOOK GREAT.I LIKE THE BLUE ONE W/OUT STRIPE-SHOWS THAT YOU BUILT IT YOUR WAY-AWESOME !!!

[Shelby 427 1965]

Thanks Marty, much appreciated!

Very nice builds, I always liked those cars, knew a couple guys that had the 1:1 version and they were sweet! Good Job Tomo

[Shelby 427 1965]

Thanks Harry... impatience got the better of me this time.

Cheers Larry! I'd kill to get to be in a Superbird. Funnily enough they aren't a common sight in Ireland..

[Harry P.]

Thanks Harry... impatience got the better of me this time.

Let's call it "enthusiasm," not impatience!

[Shelby 427 1965]

Sure.. That works for me!

[SuperbirdKing43]

Beautiful duo! Two of my dream cars. Nice job

[Shelby 427 1965]

Cheers! Means a lot.
