I'll have to make a grille extension for the hood latch ,,,,have to check the parts bins maybe something is laying around

..........engine installed , body mounted...bumpers installed .........the center console top has the 68 on it,,I should have done a wood grain insert for it used in 69 and up

That Loadstar should look good with that 345 gas engine in it!

That looks like a Wheel Coach style grille on that rig .,,,,,,,,,, I retired from VCI Emergency Vehicles (Horton) back last July,,my son works there also,,they just got the FDNY contract back ?

That's gonna be sweet ! ,I have a Fleetstar cab from AITM thats been sitting around for awhile ,, are you going to open up the hood? The casting of my Fleetstar is super thick ,,don't know what I'm going to do ,,the version I have has the tilt nose,,I'll take a pic of it tomorrow

Very nice build!

Nice job!

I still have to chrome the fender turn signal indicators

Installed the grill....found an R/T emblem in the parts dept.,,,,think that was in a Revell Landy Charger kit........the tailite lenses were missing but I still had the surround so I filled the openings with epoxy and shot it Stop Light Red .....installed ........... engine complete ready to drop in the K frame ...I didn't have the proper air cleaner pie pan so I fudged one up with some old Cady decals

Cut out the damaged area and glue in a piece of Evergreen sheet styrene ,you can get their assortment pack,sheets of different thickness and a couple black sheets in the last one I got ,then contour sand to match, you can apply a skim coat of putty and feather it in with the rest of the cowl

yep ,,built it around 1992

My 68 GTX was GG1 Green,green vinyl top and green interior ,,,with green stripes ...my 69 Coronet was painted 1970 Lemon Twist but was an original F8 Green car ,my 72 340 Duster was Chestnut Brown . Green was the "in" color back then .....didn't you have an Avocado toilet/sink /bathtub and tile in your house ??? lol! ?

.................got some AMT Redlines on the way from Hobbylinc

..............shot some Alclad today,,finished the Bare Metal,, painted some odds and ends,,started engine assembly and wiring .I was going to use the side glass from the GTX but I would have to cut too much out of the interior tub ,so I'll leave them out,,the rear window and windshield fit perfect,,,flocked the inside of the roof for headliner and interior tub floor

My S&M kits were all white plastic,,,and also the 2 Pro Street re-issues I bought a few years later were also molded in white ,I got my S&M kits at Avenel Hobbies back in '92 (no longer in business) ,Randy the owner had invited Ronnie to make an appearance at the shop (this is when Ronnie was touring with his Pro-mod 64 Comet) .Randy had about 50 of the JoHan S&M Cudas stacked on a table ,,pretty good crowd ,,,Ronnies hauler took up most of the parking lot though,,,lol it was a small shop right on Rt1 ,,,good crowd though ..I remember it like yesterday. I also had 2 of the JoHan S&M Superbirds ,,they were also in white

Parts out of the bin,,,a little bit of this and a little bit of that

That's the old JoHan kit ... a great kit in it's time and still is ! I had a few and Ronnie signed one for my son and myself back in '92 .Every one that I had was molded in white plastic.Possibly the later re-issues of the kit (Pro Street) were molded in different colors

Nice !

I wish I had kept it,,,,,but I said that when I sold my 68 GTX and 72 Duster 340 too ..... your Charger looks like a solid car,,hang in there,,the fun is in the building and doing ! I was white knuckles all the time driving my R/T around Jersey with all the freakin' idiots out there ,,, after 14 years of doing shows and taking it to the track I sold it after I got an offer I couldn't refuse

Here's a pic of my old R/T ,,,,did the resto myself other than paint ,originally an F8 Green car ,I replaced the stock Power Bulge hood with a Ramcharger hood from a wrecked 69 Superbee ,the 440 came out of a 67 Chrysler ,I rebuilt it adding a Mopar Performance cam and a Six Pack setup ...........sold the car 12 years ago ?

................starting Bare Metal,,painted tail light trim panel,painted lower K-frame, installed brass rod to simulate horizontal grill bars-the grill will be shot with Alclad and the grill bars blacked out

I'm using the AMT 69 GTX glass ,,fits perfect

I first soaked the body in Superclean for about a week to strip the paint ,,,,,,then careful use of a Dremel and Xacto knife ,,, the interior tub had the worst blobs from a roll cage glued in ,,Dremel took care of that,,and the floor pan will be flocked for carpet anyway

I got this R/T a few years ago on Ebay ,,took it apart, fixed pass side broken A pillar and vent frame (I did not take pics,,was before I joined MCM) . I painted the body a few months ago with MCW F8 Green enamel and I'm getting back to it now between my big truck builds.Yesterday I shot it with clear ,just took it out of the dehydrator .I'm using the original kits interior tub (after careful removal of 40 plus year old blobs of Testors glue.I'm using the rest of the interior parts out of the re-issued 68 R/T vert (I was really disappointed with this kit as far as the chassis,engine ,,etc. ) I'm using a donor AMT 69 GTX kit for the chassis and other bits.The 440 was from the parts bin but I'm using one of Fireball Model Works great looking Carter AVS carbs,,,super detail on his stuff! .Everything is de-chromed and I'll refinish with Alclad ,including the Magnum 500 Road wheels . The only thing I have to come up with is a set of F70-14 Redlines . Here's some pics
