VERY cool!!!! That model is a big part of my model history. I built it back in the day when it was in Car Model Mag. Never did finish it as it was beyond my skill set at the time.
Bonus was meeting Jim at Toledo a few years ago and that completed the circle. Still would like to do it myself.
Nice work....

Great to see another version of "Dodge Fever" ! Great looking build barrisfan66 ! I remember reading the articles in Car Model so many times that I had them memorized ! Jim Keeler really took it to another level . And so did you Ira , your models on the covers of CM really got me into modifying and scratchbuilding my own cars . Thanks ! |

Thanks guys-When I first laid eyes on Jim Keelers original I really had Dodge Fever and just HAD to try building a replica.
Must be one of the all time best model kits in the history of our hobby !
Hey Ira-love your take on the concept too !
I also built a version to resemble The second car Jim built ..

MOPAR or no car, I have always loved dodge/ Plymouth muscle My sentiments exactly Redbaron! Since I drive a Valiant Charger (this is my 4th) you could say I'm a just a little partial to Mopar muscle myself  |

Great job barrisfan66. Been wanting to build one myself ever since I saw it in the pages of Car Model.
