Dodge 440

[Dave42]

Hey,

A model here that's been done a while, but I had more fun with it than most, so thought I'd post. Made the filters from egg carton, and some other little engine details, but one of my very few two tone paint jobs and I wasn't sure about the color combo, but once it was done, I liked it. Hope you like it and thanks for looking at my stuff.

What led you to use the diff. wheels?

Love the Root Beer, but the gold seems to take it away

Wow, I really appreciate the positive response! Thank you all!

Bruce, I just didn't like the kit wheels, wanted some steelies out back, and always have like that wheel that's on the front.

I was imagining the car with all Chrome wheels and thought when the guy felt going around beating on it a little,...he'd slap those "don't get my nice wheels dirty" on, and play around. Yep, I act like I'm about 11 years old when I build my models! ....oh, and yea, I wasn't sure about the two colors together, but I like it now that I see it. I do appreciate your honest critique!

Thanks again for looking and taking the time to comment on my stuff.

Looks good in SHINY :)

[Greg Cullinan]

Looks great and the stripe looks perfect.

[Mopar - D]

Dave very nice build I like your colors and the stripes. I've read that the Max wedge had problems with air filters and that the paper filters were developed for this engine like the ones you have here.

[Harry P.]

I think the color combo works pretty well.

[Dave42]

Thank you very much guys!

Excellent craftsmanship all around, and the interior shown on your Fotki page is also great.
