Anything 2006 or newer Wow - am I feeling stupid... I never realized there is a second door back there! So, I take it you want to eliminate the back door and make it a... hatchback, perhaps?

No I want to make it into what a real Charger should be, a 2 door sport roof. A hatch back would have a (wait for it).....................................hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Kucaba Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 LINDBERG makes a 1/24 plastic kit of the Charger SRT8REVELL makes a 1/25 plastic kit of the Charger SRT8You would have to fill in the door lines of the rear door and re-scribe the back line of the front door. 2 door cars usually have longer doors than 4 door cars.

Mike Kucaba Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I've only started the Lindberg one. Very finicky chassis (IMHO). Nice body.The Revell kit has the scissor doors. I haven't opened it so can't comment. It does look like a 2 door though, Can't see any door lines for the rear door on the box art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carsntrucks4you Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The easised way is to build a 2dr. Charger is to use the resin body from Scaleproductions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, all John would have to do is determine a price and see if they'd ship to the USA... I could not find that at their website (the 2 languages that are supported other than German are UK/English/Euros and Dutch)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Haigwood Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 The easised way is to build a 2dr. Charger is to use the resin body from ScaleproductionsThat would be easier but at $42.75 plus shipping puts it out of my price range. Would rather do it myself and work on my building skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
