brodie_83 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Watching this! Kinda looking for ways to modify this kit myself...I want to do a '70 conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatt88 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Very nice job Fred, and welcome aboard! I've been toying witht the idea of building on of those as well...can it be built into a factory stock Charger? Brodie, I'm not far away from you, on the west end of the UP, any good hobby shops in Duluth? Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie_83 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Um...Carr's Hobby which is a locally owned shop that's been here for many years. Not bad. Then there is a Hobbytown USA which is alright too. I wish we had a Hub Hobby Center...they have a few of those in the twin cities and they are awesome! To the OP, which wheels are on the maroon Charger in the above pics?
