Anyone ever made a replica of their own car?

[YY1]

I seen this thread yesterday and looked on eBay for a 73 Duster... I found a model bumper for sale for twenty-five bucks and gave up instantly LOL....

Look for a 74.

They are much more common and the only difference is the license plate.

Still not cheap, though.

Here's a sample version of my 1965 Plymouth barracuda fastback gasser. Package was originally a stock barracuda made by auto world that was modified by a fellow mopar/ A-body friend for my 50th birthday

This is the only half-way decent pic I can find of an old build-my first Duster, 1/25 AMT. The real one was a '70, 318/4 speed. The model still exists, buried in storage. The grill is a resin replacement as the kit comes with a shark tooth grill.

Here's my on again-off again build of my current '72 Duster. The 1/25 MPC kit is the only '72 done in styrene and gets an arm and/or a leg on ebay, but I found a donor shell with a crushed top. I cut the trunk and tail light panel out of the shell and grafted it into the AMT '71 shell:

Should really get back to this build. Some clean-up and the only other mod I need to do to the kit is side marker lights.

I’m working on it. There’s only one 1/64 Dart Sport casting in the world as far as I know and it’s a pretty low quality sculpt of a ‘75...but it’s the best I’ve got. I found a reasonable facsimile of my wheels and some old JL tires fit perfectly...View attachment 1715489496

Here did you find those wheels and rims?

I made one of my 68 Barracuda. But don’t have right rims for it.

I had the paint out to do the battery tray so I figured why not.
