I was looking at the parts bin and found a fuel cell so that will be in the trunk as well as the battery and a nos tank that i am making this is what the trunk will look like before the lines and cables

I was wondering since my dad had a '68 Dart (not Hemi of course) is there a slant six engine out there someplace? Dad had a stripped down one and I remember going to the dealer with him to look for a car and I of course wanted him to get something with stripes and chrome wheels but since I was 8 my vote didn't count

The Lindberg `64 Plymouth Fury has a real nice slant six. If your serious, send me your mailing address and I'll ship you the parts to build one. I have a few extras laying in the parts bucket.

That would be really great of you

I'll try and pick up the model today. maybe my wife didn't count how many I have to build yet. But if she does I'll have to start counting her shoes.

i know you cant see it that well but i ran the throttle cables. still need to do the gas lines. also ran the brake lines into the master cylinder. i also took off the arm rests on the door panels and put a chrome tape on the panels then sanded them a little to look like brushed aluminium. i was going to do a two tone yellow and orange paint but it kept cracking so i painted it intense blue pearl.

I was liking the yellow but the blue looks real nice. Word of advice: Ditch the power brake booster. Real race cars don't have them. Not enough engine vacuum to make them work and on a real Dart you would never be able to remove the valve cover.

when i did a test fit with everything i saw that the cut lines that they want you to use for the rear wheel wells were to big so i cut it off the frame and made my own
