TRaKable or not? The year model should be TRaKable, and it's built from kit parts with some added details.... Might not be allowed, but let's see?

It presents pretty much Factory Super Stocker which is repainted, but what do you TRaKers say?

It's very nice, the car fits the rules and obviously I have a thing for Mopars. But... I think the style of the lettering is a bit modern - kind of a new "nostalgia" racer look to it? Compare with these period photos:

I know they're the kit decals and I don't mean to bash it, it's a nice build.

Otherwise it's as it could raced in '68. Looking forward to see if it's or not .

Great model! I think I lean a bit towards the paint being a bit too modern, although the paint could have been done. For me, its the "hemi thunder" lettering, and the white stripe on teh sidewalls of the slicks that make it modern. Just my humble opinion.

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.
