That is brilliant!!!

Thanks Guys!! Peter, Most of the interior detail was just done with paint, thin masking tape & a lot of patience! Although, one trick I used was to use a very fine tipped marker on some of the finer lines. Word of warning though, if you use markers, don't use any sort of clear coat afterwards. It bleeds like crazy! I learned the hard way!

Very sharp looking Dodge! The paint is super nice, but to me the best thing is that BMF. It looks absolutely flawless and in a body like this I know it's not easy to do. Does this have the same 'problem' as for example Jo-Han's '60 Plymouth Fury has that the chrome trims are a bit light and they can get easily covered under paint? If this has, then I appreciate your foiling even more!

Thanks Steve. So it really is just raw talent, as I suspected! I wonder if everyone realises that these interiors tubs, seats and all, were just one piece.

Man, that is just gorgeous. Great job on this one.

I wish they still made Chrysler / Plymouth / Dodge kits from that era.

Thanks every body! I really appreciate all of the comments! Niko, I've actually found these old Johans to be the opposite. From What I can tell the trim, scripts, etc. are quite pronounced & relatively easy to foil as compared to some of the kits from AMT from the same period. I have a '60 Plymouth Fury that I built a while back. Didn't really have any issues with that one either. I'll post some pics of that one soon. Biggest issue I have with some of these early Johan kits is having things like the tail light bezels, with all of those compound curves, molded to the body. They can be a real bear to foil! The tail light bezels on this '60 Dodge had to be foiled.
