nice Jason, except for the color, wheels, motor and it being a chevy, it looks good.......... joking. looks great! you cant put as much detail as you did your cuda in ALL your builds! yea, I didn't think about much else when I was dating my wife.

Hahaha! thanks Al I appreciate it, hopefully this gets me inspired to get some models started.

I want to say thanks to everybody who likes it, even if it is just a quick not too detailed slump buster.

Great color, very shiny, I love the wheels, & the stance, screams 70's street racer. Only one criticism, the fuel line is too big. Other than that, one awesome build.

Thank you, do you mean the fuel rail or the braided line?

Both, actually. One of my pet peeves is out of scale stuff, like spark plug wires, hoses, roll bars, etc. Your fuel line looks to be about 1 inch. Factory fuel lines are usually 5/16 or 3/8 inch. For a Dominator, on a big block, you'd increase it to 1/2 inch. Here's a picture for comparison.

You're 100% right, and I totally agree with you I'm not sure why I did but I guess I was shooting for a quick not much detail build, the stuff I used probably comes out to a -8 AN size braided hose or possibly -10 AN Edited by Dragfreak

Thank you James, since I finished the build I went back and foiled the door handles, I just now saw your comment.
