Next is the construction of the air intake. The housing consists of 4 parts polystyrene. To get the air into the combustion chambers, the base was made of polystyrene. After a long grinding, the air inlet was ready for the primer. The color was not that important. The main thing is the surface is nice smooth and shiny for the carbon decals.

The Pro Charger looks almost exactly like a turbocharger housing. That's why I built it like the turbos on the Dodge Charger. The housing consists of 3mm fitting solder. To get an even rounding, I used a 6mm drill as a "template". The back consists of a base plate and a gear housing. Both made of polystyrene. The screw connections of the back I have shown with M0.6 screws. Intake funnel and tail are made of brass tubes. On the back, a piece of brass tube was used as an adapter in the middle. The three white struts are for attachment to the engine.

The pulleys come partly from the GMP engine, partly I have taken pulleys from the leftovers and partly built by myself. The drive belt also comes from the GMP engine.

The exhaust pipes are made of 3mm Tiffany solder. To fix them on the cylinder heads, holes were drilled and 1mm brass pins used. The base plate of the exhaust pipes was made of 0.5mm polystyrene:

I start with the engine on the new project ... I just enjoy it the most. Since my english is not the best i will show more pictures. Basis is a dragster Hemi from GMP:

Hello everybody!! Already during the assembly of the Charger I thought about, which will be my next project. As a Mopar lover, I opted for another of my favorite muscle cars: the 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner. At the moment, it is quite cheap in the bay. My copy of Autoworld I got for 50 euros (new and from the dealer). Strangely, there are also versions that are significantly more expensive and only appear higher-quality at first glance. For example a metallic blue in the civilian street version costs 150 euros and it is the same quality in all areas. And there I am already on the subject: in direct comparison with the Autoworld 1968 Dodge Charger, the Roadrunner can not compete in any way. EVERYTHING is much worse: bad paint, orphaned interior, boot reminds me somehow of Lego, engine room very easily implemented, etc. But the quality is rather secondary, because it is completely rebuilt like my last project. The engine using this time will be a pro charged Hemi. In the next few days and weeks I will upload different pictures of the building. Here are the pictures of the original vehicle:

Hello everybody. My name is Steffen from Germany. I would like to present you my latest rebuild: it`s a diecast 1968 Dodge Charger from Autoworld (1: 18) which I`ve rebuilt as a Pro-Tourer including a Viper Twin Turbo setup, new interior and racing trunk. You can read up the detailed building process in the following link (it´s a german diecast forum and you don`t have to register to read): http://www.modelcarforum.de/showthread.php?t=36152 Description is in german but I`m sure pics will say more than words. Hope you enjoy the pics.
