Very nice! I agree the kit leaves a lot to the imagination and builds into a good shelf model, but requires a lot of work too make an accurate representation of the real car. The first Vega had a stock front suspension with everything behind the firewall being replaced or fabricated. The picture above appears to be the stock suspension. By 1973 all the chassis and suspension was replaced. The big block Chevy motor always bothered me as MPC had many small blocks from other kits they could have used.

That’s such a cool old kit, you’ve done an excellent job on it, very beautiful!

Thanks Scott, it’s primed again, and this time, no Clear over the decals!

Thanks Francis, I really appreciate the feedback from this forum. It’s setbacks that put some great builds back in the box never to be finished. Scott8950 put the repaint into perspective for me. I enjoy showing my builds at shows, I’ve won a few trophies mostly second and third places, but I don’t show them to win a trophy. I just want to share my build and perhaps make a contact with someone of similar interest. Let’s face it, there’s not a lot of model car builders out there and those that are, seem very quiet about it. Im definitely not on your level, or those of Clay Kemp or Jay Savarese ( hope I spelled the right), and probably never will be, and I’m ok with that! I enjoy the challenge and building something most people don’t have. This time, no clear over the decals!

I would love to find that wall paper. I think that its very cool that your parents would even do that for you. You were a blessed kid!

Probably the nicest Pure Hell Dodge I’ve seen, just beautiful!

Starting from here…..

Very impressive details, I love that yo do it all in plastic !

Very nice build, this is on my build list also.

Very nice build!

I’m curious about the wallpaper, is that Hurst logos on it?

Just Beautiful Francis !

I like this!

Very cool!

Super clean build, very nice!

Very well done!

Beautiful

I not sure what’s best as I have models built 30- 40 years ago and the decals flake and peel off or turn yellow. I’m about to turn 66, and probably shouldn’t be as concerned with how long they last.

I totally love different one off builds! Body looks amazing! Can’t wait to see it finished!

I’m loving this, the concept is very cool, paint looks great, clean building, very nice!

It’s in the “Purple Pond”?

Very nice, great photos also!

Scratch building at its finest, very cool project!

These are coming along beautifully, very well done, I actually owned a Challenger, it was made by Mitsubishi and a great little car.

Nice builds, is there a story to explain why two of the same car?
