oh for sure, Jeffries was pretty prolific, the Monkeemobile is super iconic. I was just wondering if he did a custom Charger like that on the box art.

Some good points raised. I don't think there is anyone more than me who would love to see this kit come back in it's original annual form, but with the mould being so badly worn out, not to mention the inaccuracies, it would probably mean a complete redo like the '68 Coronet. Unless R2 included all the custom parts that originally came with it I doubt it would sell much better than it already does if they just repaired the body and left it there. With that said, I'd recon it would sell extremely well if the custom parts were repaired and included. Maybe there's a licencing issue with the custom parts. Did Dean Jeffries actually design a Dodge Charger like that on the box art or was it just a marketing thing? ...like the Dirty Donny '71 Charger?

Love the artwork of the corvette!

That's some serious scratch building! Love seeing projects like this. Very nice work.

Lovely colour. I'm liking the wheels too.? The silver and black look well suited to this car.

I do have a tendency to speak too soon!?

Even though I love the kit I have to agree with you. The poor thing has seen a beating. Even the chrome tree has seen changes beyond repair.

I haven't experienced any problems with the site since I joined a couple years ago. I use Opera. The only issue I do get sometimes is pictures not loading, but I think that's to do with the file size of the pics the OP's import... and the age of my laptop I'd imagine.

ohh now that's nice! Awesome looking build. Love these heavy duty pick-ups.

Palmer kits had some awesome artwork... but like YouTube thumbnails, it was just clickbait!

Took some pics of the chassis from the '69 Charger 500, same as the Country Charger. I don't have a '71 Roadrunner to see if it fits but hopefully the pics will help.

Colour suits it perfectly. The '59 is a stunning car.

Thanks, Steve. Wish it was 1:25 scale.

All my spares are thrown in to an old AMT trailer box. Tyres I keep in an old biscuit tin. Not efficient but fun to sift through. lol

This one's friendly..?

Cool! Thanks, Paul. Looks like only one available in 1/25, an ERTL. I might just buy one to cast in resin see how it go's, though die-cast are very different in construction. I see more options now than I did before I started this thread.?

I work with resin quite often, though for 1-1 car parts. I've yet to venture into the field of 3D and I too have mixed feelings on it as you described right there. Took me a while to find a good resin for the jobs I do and works for me. If it ain't broke don't fix it, as they say but 3D can only improve so I will eventually explore it.

Definitely. Cheers, Brian.

Cheers buddy, good to be back.?

Thanks, Garry. Too late now, I glued the tailgate shut, lol. First thing that broke was the tailgate hinges.

Thanks, Dan. Now saved in my addresses! That looks awesome!

Yep, exactly what I'm looking for. Wish there was an off the shelf kit produced, R2 are you listening? haha. I've been looking into resin and 3D a lot lately but options are limited here in UK.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about! Love the C60.

yea, looks like resin or 3D print is the only option. Though of all the resin choices out there these medium duty trucks seem to be a in the 'dusty corner' so to speak.

The pic like the one you show is exactly why I bought it, looks great! Good to know it holds up well. Finding a good chrome paint is one of those fall to your knees moments crying with joy!?
