Thanks. I don't get much time to scroll thru internet or forums and just happen to see it mentioned. Just took me by surprise when I seen it.

Seen on Facebook that AMT has announced they are going to release a 2021 Charger R/T later this year. Have not heard anything about this. Does anybody have any info? Would be nice to get something fresh but hard to beat the older cars.

Just completed my build of the 1963 Plymouth Savoy driven by Richard Petty. Couldn't really find much information on this car and it is one that I haven't seen built much. Started with an old build that I got off Ebay of a Johan 1963 Plymouth Fury. Had to sand the body down after someone had painted, build and torn apart and stripped. Cut sheet plastic, scribed door lines into the what would become the "B" pillar to make a Sedan out of the Hardtop body. Took all Fury trim off, filled in the rear body panel using the piece from the 1964 Petty Plymouth Lindberg kit. Interior is a best guess on my part using the Johan 63 dash, Lindberg 64 interior and rollcage. I used the chassis, engine from the Lindberg kit as well. Primed, painted with Testors Bid Bad Blue. Powerslide decals, PPP wheels and tires. Had to modify the hood call outs on the Powerslide decals as they were only for the white hood version. I handpainted over the all blue 358 hp decal, not perfect but will do.

Wow Beautiful Dodge.

Nice looking build there. I have been planning on building one for my collection for some time now but, just haven't gotten to it yet. Nice conversation to the long truck arms for the rear suspension.

Ready to for decals.

Some interior work. Wasn't able to find any pictures or information so, I made a guess on the interior. Model Master Silver Blue Met. lacquer spray paint, Lindberg 1964 Petty rollbars.

Plastic Performance Parts wheels and tires from MIkes Decals. Checking stance.

The rear end treatment needed to be changed. From this To this I ended up using the tail panel from the Lindberg 1964 Plymouth kit and only had to fill a couple small holes at the tail lights. Got it primed and sprayed with AMC Big Bad Blue that I have been using for my Petty builds.

Just realized that I hadn't posted anything on this build here. Started with an old Johan 1963 Plymouth Fury. It appeared it had been painted and someone tried stripping it. Took a chance and purchased off EBAY. This is what I started with. Sanded the body to get the rest of the paint/primer off and started turning it into a Savoy Sedan. I cut and glued sheet plastic to give me the Sedan look I needed. Decided to use pieces from the Lindberg/AMT 1964 Richard Petty Plymouth kit. Using the chassis, interior and a spare Lindberg 1964 Dodge 413 engine. Mated up the Johan 1963 dash to the 64 interior.

Looking good. Keep it up.

I have heard Chevy going to stop production on Camaro soon as well. What will all of them use?

Looking good. I have the items to build this one as well. Keep us posted on updates.

Wasn't easy. I glued the upper A arms on first, let them dry good and then moved to the rest of the front suspension.

Any updates?

Thanks for the comments. Like I said, not my best effort but looks good with my other Petty builds.

I didn't open the cowl vent, they are just molded that deep.

Nice looking Nova. What did you use for chassis/rollcage?

Just completed my first model for 2022. This is my version of Richard Petty's 1970 Sportsman Dart. Not the best kit in my opinion nor my best effort. Just glad to have another Petty car in my collection. Started with the Amt reissue of this kit. Testors Big Bad Blue with Tamiya Gloss Clear. Had some fitment issues all over, body and chassis.

Awesome can not wait!

Awesome. Will need a few of these as well as AWB.

Have often thought about getting one these to build. Have always liked the look of this car and "Rooster" wasn't bad driver either. Just can't get past the kit decals. Wish someone would bring a good set of decals out for this car and the 87 version. Anyway, great job on your build. Looks great.

I remember building that years ago when the kit came out. I was what 10-12 yrs old at the time. Didn't look that good. have been thinking about building another one but just can't stop thinking about the old kit decals and what they might be like. Yours looks great.

Always liked the look of this car. Great job.

Nice collection of builds.
