brett Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Polar Lights 69 charger Fc as in the Mr Norms Supercharger. Original issue kit, Put the frame together in a motel room when I was attending a hobby show early July (actually built 2, Gene Snows Rambunctious as well) along with the basic long blocks Painted the frames and bodies a few days after I got home. Hadnt /didnt do much for the next few weeks as my health took a turn for the worse. But decided I wasnt going to beat it if I didnt stop sitting there feeling sorry for my self. so started building again. Anyways I remember reading somewhere that the Mr Norms car was more of a metallicy gel coat type color rather than a true metallic or candy red so I used Duplicolor metal specks red over a gold base, but even if I'm wrong I still think it came out a great color and finish. Only had one real decal issue (yay for me) which was the hood stripe ripping a little(got another one coming). Anyhow here's some pics mr norms at the front after my usual 10 minute polishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w451973 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Nice work. Are the P/L kits more accurate then the older MPC kits, chassis wise ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer50707 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 As always another great build from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Very nice job on that Super Charger Brett, as I lived just a couple of miles from Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge in my younger years, and also saw his cars at the local drag strips as well.

brett Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks guys, appreciate it Dennis I'm sure they varied from car to car but all the Polar lights chassis are identical, the only difference is that the rear of the Mustang variants have to have about a qtr inch cut off the rear. That said, they are a very nice rendition of a Logghe chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
