Green Duster Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nice! That color must of looked great on the 1:1 car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nice!!! You did an awesome job on this! I'm planning to build a 68 Charger myself, with the same style wheels, but from a different kit. A family friend gave me the Charger back in 77. He was moving to another state and couldn't take it with him. Mine was a light green metallic. Sorry to hear of your health issue. I'm disabled due to a heart condition myself, and know that working on a model is a struggle... My best to you, and keep building, you do nice work!!!

Monty Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 That is really nice, love the color. Where are the wheels from? I've been looking for a set like that. The wheels and tires are most likely from early '70s Monogram street rod kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw035 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 good look'n charger like the way it sits.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalbert Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Cool! I like the 70's vibe going on with big and little slots. All you need is a little air hose leading from the shocks and a Hi-Jacker decal in the window The wheels and tires are most likely from early '70s Monogram street rod kits. They kind of look like the ones in the Monogram 55 Chevy Street Machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Johnny Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Nice build! I have a soft spot for that body style Charger. Except for the wheels (which are my favorite aftermarket wheel) there was one looked almost identical around here back about 1983! Farm kid had it and unless you got in it it looked great! It had almost no trunk floor and a Flintstone floorboard! But it look cool and sounded great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
