RDean58

Interior is done on this Charger, 68 seats with 70 door panels. No heater and no center console. The shifter came from one of the Revell 67 Plymouth/Dodge kits and the aux gauges came from the AMT 70 Nova kit. All the BMF is done, and I put a black tail stripe on it from one of the other 70 Charger kits I have. On this one I am into the final assembly phase, it should be done before long. Thanks all comments welcomed.

I got all the rear stripes put on the Chargers now. Check them out. 68 Flame Red 69 Sublime green 70 F&F Go Mango 70 Sun Yellow 70 Panther Pink Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

I had to change my wheel/tire selection to cragers, they just looked better to me.

I decided to get about 3 of these because of the left over engines I have from all the Charger kits I have. The 68 kit comes with 2 engines, a 440 and a 426 Hemi, both pretty much completed except there is only one transmission (a 4 speed). Since I wanted to use the engines in other kits I and could not find any resin 4 speeds, I'd go with some autos. I really like the B-N-L transmissions, they clean up easy and look good once attached to the engine. One is destined to go in the Panther Pink 70 Charger. The way it shows up, a nice little 3 piece unit. After being assembled and painted and super glued to the back of a Revell 440 engine from a Charger kit.

Thanks for your interest in this build!

Completed this morning. Not perfect but it is done. Painted in Tamiya Park Green with a black interior. The Hemi is from a Revell 67 Dodge Coronet kit. I wanted to use an AMT Hemi from the 68 Road Runner kit but the placement of the exhaust manifolds on the AMT heads did not line up properly with the exhaust pipes so I had to use one from a spare Coronet kit I had. "Hemi" door decals are from a spare Revell 68 Dodge Charger kit. Not much more to say, everything else came from the Daytona kit itself. Thanks for looking.

Model is done and in "Under Glass" if your interested. Thanks for the comments.

The Daytona is coming along fine, I might even have it done before long! I have the body and frame mated to each other now. Just some decals, distributor, and radiator hose for the engine compartment. Engine is from a Revell 67 Dodge kit. Grille drying, I actually have this already installed on the body now. Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

I got my Fireball Model works six pack intakes in the other day. Unfortunately they are just a little big to fit on the AMT & Revell 1/25 440 engines. That's okay though because I have a couple of Monogram 1/24 scale MOPARS that those intakes will fit. I went through some boxes and found some six pack intakes that would fit the engines though, so all is still good. Here is the one for the AMT 71 Charger, I forget where I got this intake from, but it is molded in yellow. The tires/wheels for this build I also picked up another 71 Charger, this one is the street machine version with the Hemi. Here is the set of tires/wheels I finally decided for this one. The wheels are some MPC units from something while the tires are those Goodyear Raised White Letter 15s.

The Panther Pink is sitting on it's wheels, I'm just waiting for the auto trans I ordered from B-N-L resins and the six pack setup I ordered from Fireball Model works. How about a rainbow shot? Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

My plan to use the 68 door panels did not work, seems that they were too long and would not let the firewall sit properly. No problem, I put in the 69 door panels along with the 68 seats and it all fits. Frame is almost complete, just need to put shocks and the frame braces in. I also want to find some traction bars for it too.

Now it is actually painted! Testors Go Mango with Tamiya TS-65 Pearl clear.

How about a group beauty shot?

Thanks! I mean, there are some little does in it and if you look really close in real life (they don't show up in pictures) it's not perfect. I was painting it in a dusty environment and had some trouble with floating particles in the air. I have had really good results using the Testors' paints so the problems I've had with these (all my chargers) I think is caused by my painting area. However, since I live in South Dakota and there is snow all around me right now, this is the only place I can paint so will have to live with it until summer, if that ever comes :-)

This is Testors' auto lacquer two part panther pink with Testors' ultra gloss clear. They are rattle cans.

Front and rear bumpers and bucket seat/console set from Harts resin, a set of AMT redline tires, and some rims from an AMT 69 GTX/Road Runner kit. Color will be Testors' Plum Crazy with a white interior. This one is also going to have a 440 six pack in it. Just how I would have loved to have bought one in 71 if I could have! I'm waiting on more plum crazy to shoot the body. Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

My latest addition to my Charger stable is this Fast & Furious version. I found a set of really wide treaded tires that would fit the kit wheels. I only had to use some #14 spacers from an MRC tire pack between the rear axle and brake plates to get them to fit without rubbing the springs. I'm actually going to have some fun with this one, as I have a 68 tail light panel and interior to put in it. So it will be a 68 Charger with a 70 nose. I will paint this one Go Mango with a black interior, like the 74 Road Runner I just rebuilt. It will have full exhaust so it will be a street car instead of a drag car. Below is just a mock up of how it's going to sit.

I finally got a finish on this body that I can live with! Interior is almost done as well. This will have a 440 six pack with the carb setup from Fireball Model works. Thanks for looking! Comments welcomed.

Interior is almost done, I have to redo one of the door panels cause the chrome pen ran on it.

Rear panel is done except for a decal. I had to cut the pins off the tail light lenses to get them to fit flush In the housings., Interior coming along, I need to paint the dash now. Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

Interior done! Some white paint for dials, chrome pen for spokes on wheel, and brown paint for the wood look. Charcoal flocking for the carpet. Now it's on to the body! Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

This one had a single exhaust pipe and cats running out the back for an exhaust. It is this kit.

No, this one is from the 80s that I had built back then. Decided to repaint it in the early 2000s and just now got it done.

Finished this one yesterday! Thanks for looking, comments welcomed.

Yes they are! Thanks for remembering for me! The Road Runner is done! See it in Under Glass if ya want.
