I had this kit from a while, and probably it is time to build it... I think it is also a reissue. Some parts are not very nice, look a the interior... Will see what happen...

The dash and the seats look awesome. I don't understand what I am looking at in the engine picture. Is it an in-line 8 cylinder?

Thank you! Yes the engine is a in-line 8 cilinder. I tryed to replicate one of the last engine used on the Isotta Fraschini (old italian car brand). The engine it is not done, need transmission, and all the fornt part... Soon I will build it.

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... Here what I did today... I think It could be a good "frame" for a wheel... Soon some progress...

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...

FaBrizio, your imagination never ceases to amaze me. I never would ever thought that a Dodge Daytona Charger would or could even begin to look like your latest creation.
I am looking forward to this to see where it next takes you.

I love old cars... I always impressed looking some cars from the 30-40's and newer, with that unique style, and a utility car hood size... I had this idea to build a kind of old sport car with 4 seats, and Charger kit was around the house looking for an idea, or a trash can... So I gave it a try, using it for a test... And honestly, I wasen't expected that it came out in this way... Here the interior... Pretty much stock, except the steering wheels (I don't know from which car came off) and the steering column, this was a hose... The interior it is pretty much done... As you can see the steering wheels and column are not stock. found those on my spare parts... And this was a the beginning, when still had the rear 3/4... Yesterday I shoot some color, today I hope to complete at least the body... Will see... Thank you for looking!

Thank you! Probably tomorrow I will be able to finish it. Need some things to glue, and repair the engine. Because today I had the great idea to remove the engine already glued, for put a grille. And you can imagine what happen, when you try to pull out a paper engine... ;D ;D ;D But I can repair it...

Ditto what has been said. I would never believe it was a Dodge Charger. Good stuff you got going here.
