1969 Charger Daytona, Or What It Was...
Posted by Brizio on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 10:34 AM

I had this kit from a while, and probably it is time to build it... I think it is also a reissue.

*Holds breath!... Hurry Brizzo and take more WIP's than the... steering wheel > finished master piece. I am sure there is more work going on in between those events!Hmm

Brizio, I see seat belts...are they after market, scratch built or molded detail? Good work so far!

It is one of the late Isotta Fraschini's engine, a old old Italian car brand now extincted. The engine is a 8 cylinder in line, and I scratch build it.

I scratch build it. Looks more "realistic". Before I removed the one already on the seats.

 

Thank you for looking! :)

Back to the model, made a little little progress... I was looking for some wheels around 1,2in or 3cm but couldn't find it, so I decide to make my own wheels...  :D 
Here what I did today... I think It could be a good "frame" for a wheel... Soon some progress... :)

Also this one its going in the wrong side...

I started to cut the body, front end, rear end, windshield, little chopped the roof... I changed the windshield with another one probably from a car from the 40's... I don't know, it was light blue, with a "V" shape.

Now I have this...

This is going to be one of your out of sight fantastic builds, I can tell. Toast Lots of great work on that body already. I know you'll keep us posted and sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for the next installment.

Thank you all guys!!!

@Fox, Yesterday I was able to shot some pain on it... Two colors... For sure I will ****** somo Mopar or Charger fan, but there are a lot of Charger and Daytona models out there, that are a perfect repro of a 1/1, so why not build it different???Big SmileBig SmileBig Smile

SuppressionFire, good that he knows where it end, because I'm not sure... Big SmileBig SmileBig Smile

Here some more pics, this one when the bad idea came in to play... Big Smile  After I removed the rear 3/4...

The interior... As you can see, the steering wheels and steering column are not original... The column was a hose, and the steering, I don't know from which car came out...

Thank you for looking... :)

Brizio, very impressive so far. I like the look of your scratch built seat belts. Did you mention what you used to make them?

I can't believe it is done!!! Above all some moment where I though I had to trash it... But also I had a lot of fun... :) That should be a the base of every building... :)

Here some pics...

'Rat Fink' would be proud Brizio!

Once again there was a standard plain old model transformed into a wild creation only you could cook up in the recesses of your imagination!
