1976 chrysler vk valiant from BLUEY

[michelle]

I made this using a mpc 78 dodge Monaco body which I modified to make the aussie 75 Chrysler vk valiant driven by lucky grills character Sgt detective Bluey Hills or his partner a young rookie detective gary Dawson played by John Diedrich
In the classic Australian police drama BLUEY which ran from 1976-1977 for 39 episodes
The interior pan and chassis and rims/tires and glass and rest of the bits and pieces all came from my parts boxes
I made the right hand drive valiant dash using a 71 hemi cuda dash I cut apart and rearranged and used putty to fill in the instrument panel and reshape it
I painted the body rust-oleum universal metallic dark cherry the interior I hand painted apple barrel matte khaki acrylic craft paint and apple barrel matte nutmeg brown
I made figures of Bluey and Gary  and hand made replicas of the number plates used on the car in the show

the theme song for the show is playing in the background of the video

G’day Michelle, l remember this show. You’ve done the Valiant nicely, especially around the front. Even Lucky Grills has his moustache and his, shall we say, portly stomach. ???

Well done Michelle, it looks just like the one in the show including the two main characters. 

Cheers,
