Hi Gerald,

You have indeed made an update! I've been thinking of doing the Dodge Chargers, so I've acquired several Lindberg 64's for the task. I remember as a kid being nuts about these cars, but there was never enough info about them anywhere. Thanks to internet I've gotten a bit of info and a few of the rare pics. I never even saw the real colors of the cars until recently.

Thanks for posting and for your efforts. Very nicely done!

Michael

Hot Rod Did an article "The Dodge Chargers Story: 1964-2009" on the restoration of the #2 Jimmy Nix car. Shows good color pics of the body colors.

Great looking builds. In November of 2012 I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Barillaro who owns a red Chrisman's Comet (if memory serves me right). I have some good pics of it I can send you.

I have the mag article on the original Red 1965 Chrisman comet but would love to see your pics. You could post them on this thread.

My favorite type of build. Nice work.
