  1. So here is an update for you all. My plan is to use the AMT '70 Challenger as a base. Harts Parts has a conversion kit for the '73 model. Many thanks to John Sharisky who supplied me a resin set of wheel covers. I hope to start this project in the fall to build when fall semester classes start. Thank you to everyone who gave me ideas on how to replicate what is, in all honesty, a forgotten car.
  2. Awesome! just about what I'm going for. But a few years later.
  3. Sounds like a combination of the Lindberg kit, and maybe a Revell 'Cuda chassis could get a good result. I just got done emailing Charles at Texas 3D Customs, and he says that a Chrysler small block is in the works for this year. Still need a source for the wheel covers. I'm not sure of the body changes from '72 to '73, but I'll do some research. P.S. awesome forum, I'm on 3 or 4 different forums for all of my hobbies, and this one is the best.
  4. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
  5. Does anybody know of an aftermarket source that makes these wheel covers in 1/24 or a kit that has them? I need them for a 74 Challenger I plan on building.
  6. Hi all, I'm a younger guy from Illinois. I've been modeling since I was about 7 years old so that's going on 11 years now. I make all kinds of models and make YouTube videos with my brother who is 12. https://youtube.com/@scale_model_apprentice?si=uFdQl6-t-E_cuScS
  7. Good evening, this is my first post on the forum. I want to build a 73/74 Challenger. This was the last of the first generation and is forgotten (some say that's a good thing) either way they're still meat to me. The car I wanna do is what I'd call the 'Grandpa Special.' You can see what I mean by that with the green car pictured in the Dodge brochure. I plan on using the ARII kit to start with, it seems very toyish so I'm wondering if there is a better way (it has to be cheap, I'm a broke college student) I also need a source for a 318 LA and the hubcaps seen on this car. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
