Scale model of Als' "Dodge"
So one of my Winter projects will be building a scale model of Als' "Dodge" (actually a Plymouth Duster).
I plan to build it mostly as it appears in Requiem for a Chevyweight, but will take things from other episodes as well. I may also take some liberties of my own.
I will be using this kit as my base:
I intend to post pics of my progress (or lack thereof) here.
I welcome any ideas,comments, suggestions, encouragement, discouragement,ect..

Hi,
Nice project would love to see progress pictures from time to time/
Below info will surely lmown by you but thought post it.
The Illinois license plates seen on the Bundy's car were 61CMS2; 2 RPH 72 and F3B359. Al's driver's license number reads 2C1835.
A link on licence plate for scale models(1:25)

Good Luck !!!!!!
Te Classic Old 1973 Dodge Dart Sport was in my opinion meant to be Als Dodge....

Re: Scale model of Als' "Dodge"
Thanks for the info and words of encouragement, everybody. I actually started with the license plates first, then found the car and other parts later.
There are several details that need addressed using this kit, most notably the wheels and tires. No way would the high performance 340 engine be found in "The Dodge"
When I started planning this, I knew I had to put an issue of Big 'Uns and a family portrait (and a salami) in the trunk. The kit does not feature an opening trunk, so I cut it out, I also filled in some holes where a rear spoiler would have been:
The wheels and tires are as close as I've found so far. I think they came off an old Mustang friction model.
Since "The Dodge" is notoriously slow, lacks power and has a million miles on it, it must be powered by Chryslers Slant Six engine. These engines can take years of abuse, and are famous for being indestructible. I found an engine in this kit:

Re: Scale model of Als' "Dodge"
Go to this site. Someone made a pretty good replica a few years back. I contacted him multiple times but he still refuses to sell.

The website is really good with a lot of tips. Thanks for the link.

Re: Scale model of Als' "Dodge"
I don't think the color is right on that guy's Dodge either.
