george 53 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 That's about the ONLY way you'll find a 71 Challenger at a decent price! Who's conversion kit is that? I have one that looks identical to yours but comes with the rear lower quarter panel vents also. This is gonna be an interesting build! Imma be watchin this rascal!

caine440 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) 71 Challengers are tough to come by. Here is a sneak peak at one I am trying to finish. Edited August 26, 2011 by caine440 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caine440 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Just a quick mock up after the primer. Still need to find a good rattle can primer. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Z Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Sure is looking rather purdy... You've done wonders with this bastard of a kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratnasty Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Cain try using the Lindberg Challenger , it makes perfect platform to start with and it is diamesionally the same as the MPC car . Also you would not have to mess with the roof . I've done a couple and when there done you can't tell the difference Chuck Edited September 10, 2011 by ratnasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I've never considered the Lindberg Challenger. Can you PLEASE (that's me begging) post pictures. The roof issues of the Yankee Challenger always gets me to pass on it, even through I have six or seven of them. Hmmm.....Lindberg body, AMT chassis and Jo-Han engine. Just need to figure out how to throw something from Revell in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mageckman Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Roger, beautiful work on this Challenger. If I may ask, where did you get the Rod Shop Decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caine440 Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Thanks Chuck for the tip on the lindberg kit. I have seen them on ebay but box photos look so poor I was afraid that would be as bad as the monogram body. Chris, I bought them for a very nice website. http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-RSetzer/StoreFront.bok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
