Thanks, Friend.... The only thing I've found out to watch for so far is where the engine bay is located. The locator pins on the chassis mount to the inner fenders, and where they are determines where the wheels are in the wells.....

Got the interior where it fits...... All I had to do was remove some along the tops of the door panels and the leading edge of the dash.... Please ignore the gold paint, I've ordered some bronze that should be here soon......

MCG makes billet style wheels in a few designs...........

Little bit of progress, I got the engine bay mounted to the body......... Let's just hope it holds! And checking to see if the hood fits flush........... Thanks Guys, for your comments and for following along...........!

Flip one of them over, or switch one from each side to the other.........

I bet the scooter has been chopped, sectioned, lowered, louvered, shaved and scalloped by now!

Thanks for that, Bob! Where did you have trouble with fitment? Anything else I should look out for?

Thanks for the interest, Mike! I've sent you a PM.........

What I've done up to this point is to cut the engine bay from the '71 Charger..... I'll be using the chassis, engine bay, drive train, and such from the AMT kit. The interior won't be correct (the wood grain on the door panels is different between the two years) and I'll probably have to trim the bottoms of the door panels a bit. Gonna need to get some half-round for the trim around the top and along the rockers........ Wish me Luck, Thanks!

I've been working on this some, thought I would show what I've got so far..... Trying to go for a "replica" of a car Dad recently got........ That's all I have for now.... Will show progress as I make it!

The interiors of his cars are as elegant and tastefully done as the outside................

Interesting factoid about the Angler Fish.... The male is actually much smaller than the female, and is a parasite of sorts to her. He attaches himself to her and her body slowly absorbs him. That's how she becomes fertilized.......... Neat stuff!

He must have an affinity for the "Full Figured" autos........ Maybe likes his women curvy too!

You may could go to your nearest pipe and cigar shop and get some mesh screens..... They're woven, not fixed, so they would shape easier than PE.....

I've always liked the "ballad" type songs of theirs better than the speed metal stuff......... STR8 EDGE!

The "Black Pearl" mentioned by Mr. Hall............

That started out as a '37 Ford..... I've thought about trying to model it using the Revellogram kit........

Big fan of Metallica, even bigger fan of their frontman's cars....... The Crimson Ghost is probably my favorite.....

You say you've seen seven wonders, and your bird is green, but you can't see me, you can't see me...........

Sad news indeed........... I think it would be appropriate to close down the forum for a day, as a moment of silence for our Friend, Harry.......

Congrats, Jim! I hit a milestone of sorts myself recently with 1,500.........

Wow, Walter! You have an A12 car.....! That's probably THE muscle car

I once watched a sort-of documentary titled something like 'Hollywood vs reality' or along those lines..... They were showing how much "artistic license" they take when making movies. One instance that stuck with me was a Suburban driving thru molten lava without exploding!

Thanks, Michael! I'm a little upset with the rescue that I got her from, tho....... They could have delivered her in a little better condition. She had green running out both eyes, and her claws are so long it is painful for her to walk..... We'll get her right, tho.............

I was curious so I Googled it, but didn't want to give it away...........
