DR JAY Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hello folks. I had recently posted this build on another forum, but shortly afterward it went down for repairs and has remained that way for a couple of weeks now. I started this as soon as the DOH Charger was re released. The only aftermarket stuff I used were the photoetch oil cooler grille, the resin wheels, the nuts and bolts used for the suspension and wheel studs/nuts and the white vinyl numbers and hood call outs which were done on a friend's vinyl cutter. My reference was countless pictures of Nichels cages and chassis as well as advice from people who worked on and/or own Chrysler stock cars of this vintage. The #5 has no significance other that nobody actually ran that # in 1969. I see now that Scott and Futurattraction have come out with a handsome set of seatbelt hardware that would have saved me hours of work making my own. Anyhoo--here are a few outdoor shots of the finished product and the Photobucket link will take you to the in-progress shots of the build, which was my 1st large scale build ever. I'm not afraid of comments or tips. Thanks for looking. http://s1177.photobucket.com/user/drjay2/library/1969 Grand National Dodge Charger Project?sort=3&page=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Great job, funny, most people don't realize the Chargers were run in this configuration before the Flat nose 500 or the areo Daytona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinC Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 That is an amazing build! Can you tell me where you got your reference pics? I'm desperately looking for photos of the brake and fuel lines, and anything else I can get ahold of. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Just goes to show, there's a lot of modeling left in that ol Dukes kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
