Today it begins! My autumn project of creating a 1974 Dodge Challenger. The base kit is by AMT. I also have the Hart's Parts conversion set to order as well as a 3D printed Chrysler LA from Resins by Reese. Resin wheel covers were provided by a fellow forum member. I will start out by doing a white glue build up Ala Scale Model Experiment. This is to check fitment and to modify parts to fit correctly before committing to solvent. I am planning on doing step by step updates as well as video updates on my YouTube Channel, "G&A Scale Model Apprentice." For an introduction to this project please visit this thread: I leave you with shots of the sprues and thanks everyone for their help so far!

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.

I'm nearing-completion of the MPC 1975-1976 Dart Sport (photos will be posted when it's finished) , and am , in es. , down to tyres / wheels . My question : Are the Mickey Thompson D.O.T. slicks "correct" for a mid-1970s car ? They seem to be of a new(er) design , quite like Drag Radials ; they're nothing like I've ever seen on any period-correct car ( e.g. , 1970s Pro Stock , Modified Production , Stock , or Super Stock ). Obviously , I'm going for a 'what-one-would-see-on-a-car-circa-1976 . Your opinions , please .
