RandyB. Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Well this restoration became more of a rebuild since the entire model practically fell apart while trying to apply BMF. I ended up with it in several pieces that needed to be reglued. I had to take body off in order to reglue the side windows that fell out along with both seats and part of the dash and a few other things which allowed me to turn the tires around so that non-lettered side of the tire was out so I could apply the white lettered tire decals. Got it together late last night and polished it out. Took the pics today trying to dodge snowflakes in the air. Check her out and thanks. Before After Before After Edited February 16, 2014 by RandyB.
vaughn Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 It looks good whatever you did. Like the tires better with the lettering.
slusher Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Very sharp restore Randy. The foil and tire lettering really look so noticeable.
RandyB. Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks fellows. I think I'm getting burned out with all of these resto's. Not sure if I will be doing any more for a while!
Lovefordgalaxie Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 "the entire model practically fell apart while trying to apply BMF" Sorry, I couldn't resist. This for sure sounds like the kind of behavior I expect from a Mopar. model or 1:1
am73grand Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Looks a lot better with the RWL tires. I like it!!!
TFchronos Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Beautiful Dart Randy, makes me want to crack my kit open.

RandyB. Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Nice job,,I always like lettering on most car tires,,nice color also Thanks everyone once again for the great comments. I hope you guys aren't getting bored with all of these restoration postings. Scott...I agree that the white lettered tires really make the build.....especially the late 60's and early 70's era.
