MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. I've been lucky enough to own two muscle cars in my life, a 1972 Chevelle and my current car, a 2015 Challenger. With the 2015 being styled after a 71 Challenger I have been wanting a good representation of a 71 R/T for awhile. Sadly, no one makes a 71 Challenger kit. I did a conversion a few years back, but I always felt like I could do better. I've been pretty low on money lately as my dad was in the hospital, (plus I wanted to get a few new kits) but I finally decided to pull the trigger on doing another conversion. During the process of building the model my father ended up passing away, so this build is dedicated to him. The resin conversion kit came from Hart's Parts. I've used them before and they're excellent conversions. The fit is great! The stripes are Keith Marks 71-74 Challenger decals I got off eBay. The kit itself is the newest version of the AMT 70 Challenger. It's not a great kit (see my previous post), but I was able to make a pretty descent conversion learning my lesson from the 70 Challenger I built a few weeks ago.

  2. That looks amazing. I've never been a fan of these cars, but that actually looks like something I wouldn't mind driving. In the early 2000s you used to see them everywhere in people's yards around the Charleston/Summerville area. Great job.
  3. Looks good. I remember the first time I ever saw one, it was in these colors. I didn't even know they made an 80's Charger. It was in a campground I went to on a delivery.
  4. Looks great. I did a conversion from the 72 kit to a 70, but it didn't come out so well. Looks OK, but not near this good.
  5. That looks sick. Good job
