michelle Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 this was one of 2 chargers built ups i bought i paid 50 each for them i was told this was a original mpc 72 charger that the seller had built in 1972 and had hand painted the car so the paint was super thick when i got it i poped the chrome and glass and chassie and interior pan from the body and stripped the paint from it and when i did i noticed that this was much more modern and not a 72 charger it was a amt/ertl 71 charger body the inner wheel wells that were molded to the body were also cut away and the doors modified to look like a 72 the hood, interior pan, dash and chassis was from from a 74 charger like the other 74 charger rebuilder i posted the other day i decided to see if i could find instrutions for the original 72 charger online i found i repository for model kit instructions and noticed that the original 72 had taillights like the 71 same with the hood like a 71 i also knoticed the seats that were not glued down in the car were molded in yellow and a little to big to fit in the the car when sat upright they had to be from a 1/24th scale mopar of some sort i ended up sanding them down both the top and bottom and sides so they fit better once glued in and the interior pan placed back in the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
