'62 DODGE DART

[paraphrenic]

A project that's been in this rough stage for quite some time... Thought I'd share it all the same:

INSPIRATION:



(I actually contacted Dan Picasso and he sent me a high res file of the above picture, that I feel quite fortunate to have and think very generous of him to have send me...)

WHAT I CAME UP WITH:









-Trumpeter Chinese Red Flag Limousine grill
-Body widened 1/4 inch
-Window sill humps smoothed to resemble a '63-'64 Chrysler

I am either considering getting a '62 Plymouth for the rear or scratch building it to look like this Chrysler Imperial Concept Sketch from 1960:



Thanks for stopping by...

I can't wait to see what you do with this!!

Thanks for the good words there guys... I'm leaning toward the Imperial rear end treatment! As I don't have a '62 Plymouth for the rear but I have tons of sheet plastic...

Thanks Bob...

Seems to be all I do... Not to many current kits in my stash but I do build a few!

But all get decimated!

that's cool, about half mine are old. I just don't get much out of the new stuff...other than the old/new repop's!

That side view reminds me of a ( t bird or mark II ) in the rear section.
