  1. Looks great. I wouldn't mind have another one in my collection.
  2. Excellent work. Doesn't look like a bad kit at all. Maybe, they will release it again some day.
  3. Nice work. Doesn't look like a bad kit. I almost bought one of these as a first car, but it didn't have a working speedometer. Dad got me a Geo Tracker instead; the car that's truly unsafe at any speed.
  4. It has those parts included too. Surprisingly, the bed was the easiest thing to put together and it works well. I should have put it down in one of the photos. The fender decals were a nightmare as well. I didn't mention that. You have to connect the striping together...........They aren't really curved..............Works about as well as you could imagine.
  5. One of the last models I ordered before Dad died. I thought this was a cool looking truck and it's significant to automotive history as well, so I knew I had to have one in the collection. The kit itself is a pretty garbage kit that fought me all the way. The fit is horrible and things are way over molded. There's also parts that aren't needed and the directions kinda suck too. Getting the body on was not fun and the bumpers were next to impossible to get to stay on right. The hood isn't glued shut, but it might as well be. It's hard to move and wants to pop up a little. The engine bay has little detail anyway, so I really didn't care too much other than the time wasted painting the engine and all. It's also got some disappearing decals. They just disappear into the paint when applied. So that's something to be aware of as well. Came out looking alright though.

  6. Thank you, and grab another one like I did. lol
  7. The red and white looks so good on these. It was such a great kit. Excellent job.
  8. Been seeing a lot of these lately and not a single one has looked bad. Good job.
  9. Looks good. I with Revell would re-release their 70 Mach 1. I was never able to pick one up and now they're hard to find and quite pricey when you do.
  10. Thank you
  11. Thank you
  12. I've been lucky enough to own two muscle cars in my life, a 1972 Chevelle and my current car, a 2015 Challenger. With the 2015 being styled after a 71 Challenger I have been wanting a good representation of a 71 R/T for awhile. Sadly, no one makes a 71 Challenger kit. I did a conversion a few years back, but I always felt like I could do better. I've been pretty low on money lately as my dad was in the hospital, (plus I wanted to get a few new kits) but I finally decided to pull the trigger on doing another conversion. During the process of building the model my father ended up passing away, so this build is dedicated to him. The resin conversion kit came from Hart's Parts. I've used them before and they're excellent conversions. The fit is great! The stripes are Keith Marks 71-74 Challenger decals I got off eBay. The kit itself is the newest version of the AMT 70 Challenger. It's not a great kit (see my previous post), but I was able to make a pretty descent conversion learning my lesson from the 70 Challenger I built a few weeks ago.

  13. I love that color
  14. That looks amazing. I've never been a fan of these cars, but that actually looks like something I wouldn't mind driving. In the early 2000s you used to see them everywhere in people's yards around the Charleston/Summerville area. Great job.
  15. Looks good. I remember the first time I ever saw one, it was in these colors. I didn't even know they made an 80's Charger. It was in a campground I went to on a delivery.
