Eric S Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Greetings All! When I saw the Dart Sport in my LHS I knew I had to build one. My original plan was to build granny's slant 6 econo grocery getter. I was planning on cutting the console out of the interior and going bench seat. But as I got into the kit, I decided just to build it as a simple fun build. I did buy resin dog-dishes on ebay, and stole steel wheels out of a '62 AMT Corvette kit. The color is Testors Lacquer Chrysler Bronze with One Coat clear. My Dad's '69 Valiant was the same color. This was a simple, fun build. Comments welcome. Thanks!!

1972coronet Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 That's a splendid Dart , Eric ! Missing Link's 1969-1975 Dodge hub caps are works of art , aren't they ! Good call on leaving them in unpainted condition ; 1974 was the last year that those caps were anodised and painted ; by early 1975 , they were 'plain' , just as yours are . I also recommend Missing Link's *other* Dodge parts : the 1972-1975 "W11" Deluxe 14" wheel covers . Those are what I'm going to utilise on the '75 Dart Sport that I'm presently working on . Keep up the great work , Eric ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the great work , Eric ! That is a nice Dart Eric. John, I am in complete agreement with you on the Missing Link Resin Parts. I used th dog dishes on my '71 Charger build, and I am going to use the wheel covers on a Monaco Sedan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realgone58 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Awesome! Love the dog dishes, body color wheels and white walls! Great color on it too. I used the Missing Link full wheel covers on mine, but I think they look great either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
