Wow! Superb realism.

Awesome build! Paint like glass, great attention to details like the engine bay, passenger compartment and chassis! Exceptional build! Awesome work!

I wondered how you got the tires to sit right until I saw the bottom of the model. Great work on all of it.

Just when I think I've seen enough Mopar muscle car models, and ka-boom, this comes along and redefines the my view of these models. My hats off to you sir.

That sir, is one seriously fine model.  Your attention to detail is off the scale and great photography too.

This came out very nice.
Can you tell us about the paint color and the carbs. They look like Carter AFBs (?)

Thanks
Jim

Thanks Jim.

The paint is MCW #6761 "Gold Metallic", and the carbs are AFB "Street Hemi" carbs from Fireball Modelworks.

Thanks for your reply Steve.
That MCW paint is good stuff, and I went to the Fireball site and was ready to order a boat load of carbs, but the poor guy was in a bad car wreck, so gonna place an order soon as he heals up.
But thanks for the info, looking forward to your Bonneville build.

Hi Steve, I just went back to review your build thread (as I think EVERYONE should do!) Too bad the interior is soo hard to see in the finished pictures, cause it's a knockout! What a super job on this Dodge.
