1969 Plymouth 383 Road Runner

This is my AMT '69 Road Runner that was converted from an AMT '69 GTX kit.  It is painted with Tamiya TS-20 Metallic Green with a Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black interior featuring embossing powder for carpet, under dash gauges and the steering column mounted tachometer.  Magnum 500 wheels and a Hurst shifter with T-handle from my parts box.  I scratch-built the radio antenna on the right front fender.

Very nice. My only suggestion, BMF.

Ok.  I'll bite.  BMF what?  I have used Bare Metal Foil and Molotow Liquid Chrome on this '69 Road Runner.

Thanks guys!  I knew I could turn a '69 GTX body into a '69 Road Runner and it came out just as I had envisioned!  

drodg, Keith Marks doesn't offer a set of decals for the '69 Road Runner.  But, I might be able to use some from the '68-'70 Road Runner decal sheet for the doors and the trunk lid.  It's funny, I was looking through my decals for another project and found a set of decals for the doors of a '68 Road Runner.  I cut them apart and installed the on the doors.

I see that now. Sorry, I was looking on my phone.

Steve, I have known about the mis-leading instructions for some time now.  I believe it was Fury3 who had told me about them and I am grateful for him to passed on that knowledge (well, some of it at least) to me.  I looked at the instructions and said, "Oh yeah!  He's right!" and corrected my mistake.  I think that error also extends to the '70 Super Bee as well, but I'm not 100% sure.  Now, I look over the instructions before building and if I see an error, I research it and make note of a correction on the sheet.
