USACC 2025 4th Annual Group Build - 1968 Dodge Dart Hemi

The top photo is the USACC Logo announcing the 2025 Group Build. This year Kim from Kims Kustom Garage. picked what kit we would be building. He picked the Revell 1968 Dodge Dart Hemi Special Edition 2-n-1. I think it's a great pick!

I'm not sure what I'll be doing with it yet; however, I'm leaning heavily toward a vintage 1970's era dirt track late model stock car.

A special thank you to the founders of this group build: Matt at The Luka Cee YouTube Channel and Mark Batson at Hobbydude 007 YouTube Channel

As I stated in the lead-in to this project, my plan is to build my version of a vintage late model stock car that would have been seen on a dirt track in the late 1970's. Some of my buddies at the time had cars that they ran at the 1/2 mile dirt track in Nazareth, PA, in Middletown, NY at the Orange County Fair Grounds, at Flemington, NJ and in Reading (pronounced 'Redding'), PA; Jack Zeiner and his brother Tom, both late model champions at Nazareth and the Metzger brothers, Gary and Sterling (pugsly), although never won a championship, were competitive and a track favorite.

Only one of these cars is a Dodge Dart and that is picture '4'. Pictures 1, 2 and 3 are random photos found on the web. Photos 5 through 8 are from the Nazareth Speedway Facebook Page. The 1/2 mile dirt track is no longer in existence; what a loss!

Photos 5 through 8 are cars and drivers from Nazareth, PA:

  1. The #8 of Jack Zeiner. One of Nazareth's champions
  2. The #15 of Tom Zeiner. I graduated from H.S. with Tom
  3. The #2 of Gary Metzger. Gary and I grew up together
  4. The #00 of Dale Reutimann. Younger brother of Buzzie.
    Buzzie raced big block modified's at Nazareth and
    and other tracks.
