SuperStockAndy Posted June 25, 2011 Author Posted June 25, 2011 Thanks Cole! I got her back from the paint both yesterday! This is the LAST update. I'm waiting on some parts, then she'll be done! Here's a picture of what she looks like now:
Mr. Moparman Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Tell that parts guy to hurry the heck up! Good build, I like the Plum Crazy!

whale392 Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Well, I see it's about ready for a test-spin. Got any tracks in mind?
SuperStockAndy Posted June 26, 2011 Author Posted June 26, 2011 Thanks everyone! Bradley, if this was a real car I'd race it I'll take pictures of it with my old S/S Fairlane-that is, if the stupid paint would come out right on it!
bunkster Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I just picked up this kit myself, can't wait to start it!
Dragracer Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Just make sure the Dart is ahead of that thar Fairlane!
Mooneyzs Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Andy... that Color looks great. I like the purple you went with and like how you painted the hood black. Nice Job!
SuperStockAndy Posted June 27, 2011 Author Posted June 27, 2011 Thanks guys! Richard, the Dart has a 426, and the Fairlane has a 427...It all comes down to weight!
SuperStockAndy Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) Got this one done today. Extremely disappointed with the way it turned out... I left the rear quarter windows out because I was tired of screwing with them. Back to the story: I got her out of the garage today. Had a little bit of trouble getting the motor to fire, but it was just because the timing was off. It runs great! I plan on heading out to the dragstrip this Saturday to see how she does. Thanks to all that have watched and followed this build! Edited July 14, 2011 by Android
Dragracer Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Don't see what you are disappointed about Andy, the Dart looks great to me, wish I could have built cars like that when I was your age (of course that was only a year or so ago, wink,wink,nudge,nudge)
SuperStockAndy Posted July 14, 2011 Author Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks Richard, but I was so mad I didn't take pictures of what made me disappointed On the rear quarter panel I got some tacky glue on it. No big deal, right? WRONG. When I tried to get it off, the paint came off and the paint is under 5 coats of clear! Oh well. I'm not letting it go on the shelf like that so I have to figure something out.
m4A3E2 sherman Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 andy i tink you did a great job on your dart if you dont like the paint just throw her in the purpel pond and i whish more guys your age were in to the hobby you are doing verey well keep up the good work
SuperStockAndy Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks Larry! No Purple Pond for this one, if I decide to fix it, I'll just mask it off and spray it.
