Pat Minarick Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Love sleepers. Very cool build. Thanks Jeff ! Very cool build of a sleeper. The finish is so realistic. Nice, nice, nice! Thank you John !
Pat Minarick Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Excellent paint weathering! David G. Thanks David !
Pat Minarick Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Pat, I really like your Duster. You did a great job on weathering and that Viper chassis under it brings a smile when I see it there. It seems to belong there. It's nothing you did but, I am surprised the Viper underpinnings didn't bring the car down to the ground further. Good thing they didn't or that would have ruined the look you were going for. Thanks Ken !I mounted the body as high as I could on the frame and I slid the rear wheels down on the uprights to get the rear up higher . Look amazing! I love it when a bunch of parts come together to build something great!! Thanks Ken !
Pat Minarick Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Great details...weathering, concept, AND the open rear wing window. Fond memories of the one my family had, a dark green '71 Gold Duster with the Slant 6. Thank you Andy !
Pat Minarick Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 What everyone else said! Great weathering & Great sleeper! Great job! Thanks Peter !
Helix Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Impressive build, awesome details mate! Reminds me of that Nova sleeper I saw on YouTube!
A.R.C. Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 I was thinking the same thing as Helix. You nailed it on this build. this thing is soo cool!
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 I sure would love to see a step by step for your weathering process. It's probably the best I've seen. Thanks Scott ! I will try to do that .
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Very very cool weathering job on that Duster. I love the choice of replaced panels and the quarter windows too. The summer of 1977 I had the opportunity to buy a 1976 Duster from a girl I knew who had bought it new and got overwhelmed with the payments. It was silver with a red bucket interior, console and red pin stripes. Remember, that was back when the Ford Granada had every car copying the silver and red theme. Slant six auto car with air conditioning. Low miles and $1500 would get her out of trouble. Of course I didn't have the $1500 and my father vetoed it! Thanks Tom ! I used to have a '76 Super Silver Addition Duster , silver with a red black and white stripe, red interior , and a Moon Roof . Very nicely done! Thank You Lee !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Sweet ride! Wish I'd thought of it. I'm a sucker for those Dusters! Thanks Brian ! Very cool Duster. Thank you Tommy !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Now that is the true definition of sleeper! I love the yellow fenders and doors with the worn-out graphics, and the popped open side window is a great little touch! Thanks Mike !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Man, this thing is terrific! What a cool build! Thanks Albie !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Very nice model done up very good..The car you are thinking of was a 1968 or 69 Valiant 200 2 dr post and I thing it was done by Mopar Action Magazine by the editor(Erenberg) If I recall.. Was a mean machine... Thank you Wayne ! kool idea Thanks Bill !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Very nice. Love your weathering. Mark Thanks Mark !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 That is a great build....I really like the work.....Very good idea....Great execution.... Thank you JT ! Gnarly, gnasty, and gneat!!! Thanks Danno !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 This turned out super nice! The weathering looks great, just like it was found from a barn or something. Great wheel choice, too. With a non-modern engine, this would be one of the coolest Dusters I've seen. But it's very cool like this, too. It might be that I don't make it to the starting line with my Torino Talladega, but I couldn't beat these monsters anyway. :lol: Thanks Niko ! I love the weathering from the underdog! Looks WOW! Thank you Dominik !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Another great build Pat!!! Love the whole shebang..... Thanks John !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 Awesome build! Beautiful weathering and I love the "cracked" worn stripes! I remember when I used to buy Dusters for $50 bucks a piece. Wish we could still get 'em that cheap, I'd have a dozen of them! Best little cars in the world IMO. Thanks Alan ! I can't believe what they are getting for a Duster now !
Pat Minarick Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 That is a way cool build.. I bet that car would be a rocketship in 1:1 .. love the old A Bodies .. man if someone would do a 4 door Valiant I could build my Dads car.. '68 B5 Blue Slant 6 ... Thanks Dan !
Tom Geiger Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 man if someone would do a 4 door Valiant I could build my Dads car.. '68 B5 Blue Slant 6 ... Keep an eye out on eBay Motors. That kinda stuff shows up on a regular basis... old Valiant builds, 4 doors etc. Great place to steal photos!
Pat Minarick Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 Really love it, awesome job on the weathering and the details. Thank you Arno ! nice pat Thanks Bill !
Pat Minarick Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 Impressive build, awesome details mate! Reminds me of that Nova sleeper I saw on YouTube! Thanks Ray ! I saw that too. I was thinking the same thing as Helix. You nailed it on this build. this thing is soo cool! Thanks Adam !
