The USACC Group Build, in my opinion, is becoming and institution. I don't usually do group builds; however, I love this one. 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

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!

This page contains a photo journal of my build for the 1968 Dodge Dart Hemi 2-n-1. The '68 Dodge Dart Hemi is the kit being built for the Unified Scale Auto Content Creator (USACC) build that runs from:
September 15, 2024 to March 16, 2025.

In each of the photo boxes is a button labeled 'Display Photo Text'. Click the 'Display Photo Text' button to display the descriptive text for the photo. There can also be other links within the text. At the end of the text is a button to 'Close Text'.

Clicking or tapping on any photo will open an enlarged version of that photo in a new tab or window depending upon how your browser is configured.

My plan for this kit is to build a car that would have been a late model stock car that could have run on the 1/2 mile dirt track oval during the 1970's and early 1980's in Nazareth Speedway, Nazareth, PA The 1/2 mile dirt track is no longer in existence; what a loss!
