    The annual Charger body is more accurate than the Revell Charger. The Revell Charger's grill is too high. The nose doesn't slope down enough. Round 2 should locate an original Charger annual kit and scan the body and even the parts to make a new re-issue.

    Here are some comparison pictures my friend Craig recently sent me of his 1:1 442 and the model.

    The 442 arrived safely at my friend Craig's house today. He loves it. Here are a couple of pictures he sent me. He took a picture of the model on the roof of his 442 and a picture in his curio.

    Thanks for your help Steve. Your Revell '67 Chevelle Pro Street build is a big inspiration for this idea I had.

    He asked me if I'd build it for him and I couldn't say no. He's giving me some stuff for this which is extremely generous of him. Craig's a great guy and I was happy to build this for him.

    This was the first time I used the seat belts from Futurattraction. I'll be ordering more of the harness sets soon.

    Thanks Joe! This one was hard to give away but my friend Craig is excited to get it. He should have it Saturday. I can't wait to hear what he has to say when he sees it.

    Thanks Mark! The K&N Air Cleaner is a resin part I got from Ron Coon. It's item number AC_9 and is $1.75. https://roncoon.com/engine/

    Heather, My condolences to you and your family! I hadn't been on here in a while and just heard of your loss. I had talked with your dad a few times on here. He was a true artist and I always enjoyed seeing his creations. Michael.

    You did this amazing '67 Chevelle Pro Street build in the link below. It's one of my favorites. I'd love to do the same but with the '65 Olds 442 body I have. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/154050-67-chevelle-pro-street/page/1/#comment-2763671 Would you suggest the Revell '67 Chevelle Pro Street kit as a donor over the AMT '67 Pro Street kit?

    I'm sort of liking the Pro Street idea instead of building the same thing again. The AMT '67 Pro Street Chevelle seems like a good donor kit and they are easy to get. I'd put Weld Drag Lites on and maybe do a blown Olds 455. Make the same front seats in the interior and the same roll bar so it looks like the same car with the tubbed rear and blower. Keep the cowl hood scoop but have the blower sticking out through it and go a little lower on the stance.

    Thanks Steve! I was determined to finish this one and I had fun with the details. This Summer was tough with their loss but I've been keeping busy with some projects. Finishing this one put me in a better place.

    Thanks Larry and Steve for the compliments! The paint was fighting me and then the original body started cracking. Too much handling stripping it and the thin plastic wasn't good. This one was a bear to paint. Thankfully I got it to work this last time. I can do the stripes in my sleep now I've masked and sprayed them so many times. lol I'll fix the original body and either build another one like this one or use the AMT '67 Pro Street Chevelle chassis and parts and make a Pro Street version of my friend's car.
