Need help with photos of Jim Danels' Dart
 
I am starting to take on the build of a fully detailed and accurate scale model of Jim Daniels' SS/AH Dart. Problem is that I have never had the chance to see this car in person. Now when I say full detail and accurate. I mean I want to do this car dead on from the underside to the roof adn bumper to bumper. That means I need CRAZY photos of this car. If you have any that you might think will help me. Would you please post?
Thank you in advance for anything you can help me with in doing this project.
Matt

Matt,

I have some shots of Jims Hemi under power, but don't really have any crazy shots. I will post them for you.

There was a very good article on the car several years back before Jim Daniels became the owner. It gave the history behind the car with the Barton's. It had several close up pictures of the engine compartment, trunk and dash. I think the magazine was Mopar Action. I will check and see if I still have it.

Thanks guys. I need some detail shots like the rear end and any other chassis shots. Any kind of engine shots. An need to see the interior too. But I will take just about any photo anyone has of the car. Even when the Bartons owned it. I think the only big difference I can see is that the bumpers were red when it was driven by David and when Jim got it. the bumpers went Chrome.
Also, does anyone know if that car is painted Viper Red? That is what I was planning on using.
Thanks for any and all help.
Matt

This link is to everything we have of the car: Jim Daniels

You should be able to get some chassis detail on some of the wheelstand shots.

Good morning Matte. you'll find an attached photo of a model I delivered to Jim's son on the day after he set the record at 8:29 in Oct of '09.
Please contact me at wcheney@ manth.com and we'll talk about photos you need, because I have a bunch of those "crazy" ones you want.
