One of the MPC Nascar series...bought that one when I was young. Wish they would reissue the series. Great restoraration and great looking model ya got thar!

Wife worked for Hardee's Equipment Dept in 83. They chartered 2 bus to the Darlington race to see Cale race...best looking car on the track!

Sweet!

You might need to go back and put the script "roadrunner" in bigger letters.....the Ford and GM guys were a tad farsighted and never could read what was pulling off and away from them...lol BTW I DO LIKE FORD AND GM !..... Just like Mopar more! 😛 You need to post the audio: rumpa ta rumpta ta rumpa ta...."

Very impressed with the detail from which you got the kit and the additions you used to further enhance it, a visual delight....you done great on this one and the next one will be better. We are our own worst critics and if any disagrees, they haven't turned the corner yet. That is a paint job I would gladly pay for! Can't wait to see what come around the corner next...

Well I was planning to do a "Red" Demon but looks like someone smarter than me beat me to it. Lol. Sweet looking! Back to the Color Charts....

If you ever notice when seeing photos of people who owned such cars they had the wide tires and rims combo with the rear"jacked up". They're were more cars as such that look. Fantastic looking build!

That's a Blue Ribbon winner, love the color choice of the interior!

Awesome work. Definitely could not tell which direction it would be heading just by sitting still...

Simply Beautiful!

Good color choice, Always picture the 40 Ford black.

Since the body is sprayed with red, masking off for the Gold and go from there....

Use Tamiya masking tape to start at the top of the fender and follow the Chargers fender and character line to the rear. It's been a while when I built the #12 but if memory serves correct it was Testors Enamel Met. Gold. Once painted and decaled, I used Pledge acrylic floor wax to brush on. Self leveling, drys fairy quick (15 minutes) and if needed you can apply 2-3 coats. Easy to work with. Sent some pics to visually help out and feel free to reach out anytime... Chuck

Definitely the West Coast vibe! That color would look great on a variety of different makes & models. It Rocks!

A 68 Charger weight was at 3500 lbs and a 426 cid (7.2L) was rated at 425 hp. Compared to a 2013 Challenger SRT weighing at 4157 lbs with a 392 Cid (6.4L) rated at 470 hp. With your setup, 45-50 more hp and a weight loss of 650 lbs. shedded from the 13 Challenger SRT, the competition would be seeing red.....as in red taillights! That one is worthy of the Fratzog!

Well I finally know what happened to that 56 Plymouth you got at the last model swap we went to. How did a kit you bought didn't end up in my bag when we got home is nothing short of unbelieveable. That looks Marvelous!

Too Many Projects seems to be providing you with Way Too Many Projects....lol. That car had a trunk(and back seat space) you could fit the whole year of 1966 in and the New Years Party for 1967 in!. Always enjoy seeing what next...

That's what Toretto would switch to if he decided to slow down, not stop and smell the rose fragrance air freshener.....

Diggin that Cool Cat....

Not nice but freaking AWESOME! The body by Dr. Larry also?

My brother in law and sister bought a 69 Olds Cutlass not long after they were married. I remember it was a clean bright white with a metallic lt. blue interior. It's stance sat a little taller than stock, white wall Michelin tires and was immaculate inside and out. That Olds stood out regardless of what or where it was parked. That is a Award winning build....and the diorama of your parking lot takes it to another level.

Whoa! Whoooa! You didn't think that.... Adults Toys by Dodge Ad Campaign in the mid 70's was an actual marketing pitch from 77 to 81. Bold colors and .graphics, factory Chrome rims and big tires, a Roll bar behind the cab and a shot of Automotive testosterone that blatantly told the EPA to orally manipulate it's tail pipe. Actually it was a emission loophole that didn't require trucks to have a catalytic converter, just cars. Lil Red Wagon, Warlock, Macho Power Wagons O My! If having the latest G.I. Joe or the Joe Namath endorsed Spauding football made you the most popular kid in the neighborhood, then the Adult Dodge Lineup of Custom Vans and Trucks just launched you past the Automotive Valhalla of Cool. Whew! Time to idle down....Well, it wasn't much of a mental stretch of what to do with the Warlock drivetrain. I do remember buying the MPC 75 Dodge Pick Up 4x4 with the Motorcycle when I was WAY younger. I remember the tires not looking correct to scale for the truck but the motorcycle was the neatest thing. Models come and go, time never stop moving forward and things just disappear. May not be the original but its a do over.. The 78 graphic scheme really caught my eye. The double yellow stripe running along side the lower character line is eye catching regardless of vehicle color and the blacked out hood (which does extend to the cab roof) protrays a menacing look. A nerve racking experience of masking the double stripe required a lot of work. Ironically it was the day after of painting I located the decals with the stripe package. Decal sheet being acquired for the tailgate Power Wagon logo but the painted stripe is staying.

Well no surprise here...take one Warlock 4WD kit + one MPC 78 Dodge D100 2WD + one Hart's Parts 73 Grill/Hood conversion....swap the drivetrain from both kits and you end up with Dodge's basic economy truck package sitting on the lot to be purchased. The only problem I encountered was not properly separating each kit with the drive train and got a abdominal workout bending over to pick up the incorrect box and a mental work over trying to remember which part was in which box. It worked out in the end. The only issue with either the Walock/D100 2wd is the fitment of the frt grill/valance/bumper...hardly any suitable mounting points to securely attach the grill/valance/bumper to. The MPC 78 D100 has yet to have a chassis plate that has been warped. Used enough hot water/time to be certified as a Midwife assistant. None the less...an enjoyable build... As for the 78 D100 Long bed.....stay tune!

The Chevelle and the Monte Carlo were the iconic symbols of the early 70's Chevolet line up, a automotive muscularity of style. Fantastic color you laid on it. At one time I wouldn't spray a different manufacturer paint if it wasn't what was factory ....but then nobody knew any better and it looked just as good! Great build!

Awesome
