i used a 74 charger rebuilder which i had previously redid a couple years ago in green i chose to redo it now with more acurate parts since i used what ever i had at the time to replace the missing parts and the engine i originally used was not even a mopar engine but what i think was a ford engine block and chevy valve covers and generic custom carborators with air cleaners and the rims i used were chevy rims and so i replaced the engine with a mopar engine block and valve covers and kitbashs the 400 4 barrel air cleaner with twin aire intake funnels i scratch made the the se hood and opera windows and painted it in testors extreme lacquer root beer i used rims from the 68 dart kit cause they looked like rims that would be on a se not the standard mopar rims that would be on a the rallye version the interior i left alone as i liked the color i had painted it before

thank you i was lucky the kit was molded in white made using white primer then gloss white paint alot easier i find if the kit is molded in any other color it is alot harder to cover it with out using double the primer and paint unless your doing a dark color paint and using black primer then it is covered nicely with one coat of both primer and paint thank you

i decided to paint the bumpers and grille/headlight surrounds body color like i have seen pics of some 73/74 road runners i used the red stripes with a gloss white body and did red accents in the interior with sharpie to the dash ,seats,center consule and painted the floor and top of dash black then added a bit of brown paint to small areas on the dash and center consule to simulate wood grain i also painted the center parts of the rims medium grey

i used a mpc squad rod 79 nova kit to replicate the current issue of the matchbox 1979 nova 1/64th scale die cast car the paint was as close as i could easily get which is duplicolor perfect match gm light blue metallic the hood decals came from my decal box they were from a amt 67 camaro decal sheet i tryed to replicate the wheels on the dicast car as bext as i could it look like they had knock offs on the center cap so i found a set in my parts boxs that would work
