the kit is the AMT jhonny lightning 1970 R/T challenger

mods include a steel roof (the kit is a ragtop)

thanks, it is tad higher then i wanted it to be but i ran into a snatch

i used the aftermarket rims that spike provided and when i had them installed the rims were recessed closer to the center of the car so they would not spin freely.

i decided to install the rear risers from the yankee challenger kit to bring the wheel up out of the tubs

i do think it looked better when it was a little bit lower to the ground but i was willing to sacrifise that for free spinning wheels

(i thought the origenal stance was too low anyways: this is without the risers)

[MADmodelDOCTOR]

Yeah, that is very low. Later, Kenny

thanks

i think the clear was still curing when i wrapped it up

the whole thing took me about 3 weeks to build, pretty intense weeks

what really cost some time was the roof, the kit got started as a ragtop so there was a tone of primer sand primer sand primer sand to get the vinyl look of.

then i had to graft it to the body and that took some trail and error but all things considered i am really pleased with it
