No WAY!!!!! Dude that's gonna be a HOOT to follow!!!

Thanks Niko!! There's no way that I can let this one just sit there. I guess I could always get the money for it but I couldn't charge as much as what I've seen 'em go for. I've got more of a conscience than that.

That Maverick looks pretty dang good Gerald! You and me both Ray.

Thanks Rich. I was on the fence about which one I wanted to build as there are a few different options out there but this one looked pretty "safe" to me. I've gotta get the name of the fella that I ordered the set that I do have from . I didn't see this set on Slixx the other day when I looked. Thanks for your help though Mark.

I actually found a sheet on ebay. Gonna give these a go....

That looks VERY good!!! Something different for sure.

I haven't done a race car in I don't know how long but I've had this Jo-Han Maverick in my stash for a couple of years and wanted to build it but didn't know what theme I was going with until I saw Don Nicholson's ride. I knew right away that I HAD to build it....and so.....along with my re-intro here I'll give this my best shot. The kit (I bought this kit a couple of years back for $50......you don't want to know what it goes for these days....WOW!!) The Subject:

I really like "non-traditional" stuff JC. Lookin' good man.

Thanks Dann. Spent a little more time on the grille early this morning. Managed to get the other hole cut out and smooth out those ejector pin marks....

Wow!!! This is a really cool project Ray. That is indeed funny about the cost of the 1:1 scale car versus the model kit. Puts things into perspective pretty quick. lol

LOL!!! I'm to the point that I'm now working on the grille/ front end of this bad boy. I can't really fit anything into the engine bay as far as the radiator core support (which has now been extensively modified to fit. Don't ask folks....I really don't know what happened with the fit of everything up front. All parts were test fitted prior to even painting and it all fit perfect. Now ...the front fenders have to be spread in the front some to get the brace and hood to fit. Weird. As far as the grille goes, there's some more mods that I'm doing. Looks like the inserts from the MPC kit turned around backwards fit perfectly in the openings that I cut out of the grille. I've still got some filling and sanding to do to get rid of those nasty ejector pin marks but that's not really a worry of mine. I cut the PE grille inserts out and test fitted. Looks like it's all a "go" at this point. One more side to go...…..

These kits are already all that and a bag of party mix right out of the box. Anything you're gonna do to this is only gonna make It that much better.

Oh HELL yeah! Dude that looks great!!! Love that stance!!!

Man you got AAAAAAALLLLLL the good out of that kit!!! Masterfully done Geoff!! It was a complete blast following along on your build.

Saw this one yesterday and meant to comment on it but got interrupted. I do love me some T/A's and this one is looking really good.

Man that paint on this thing looks terrific!!!! Great work.

Thanks for the encouragement Carl. I don't have this one in my stash right now. If I did I probably would attempt it again. ?

That outta be going to the first show you can get it to. Beautiful looking car!!!

Oh man....this is gonna be VERY cool!!!

Well.....yeah. Minus the screamin'. LOL

LOL!! Spoken like someone who's been in the military. Thanks Dann.

Thanks guys.....I'm probably just being a scaredy cat. lol

Man these cars look good!!! Awesome work on your build.

Just in getting it to look right/ like a real Charger. The whole nose section of this thing is chrome so it's really going to be a bear painting all the black areas black and getting the emblems and all to look right.

'Preciate it Dann. I just hope I can do the nose of this car some justice.
