hi all after abouth 4 months building almost every day , i finished my dodge charger gasser build .

 

here is the build thread for those who want to see some build pics (almost every step is in there) ..

 

 

 bit of info on how this build started :

i got a glue bomb kit from my sister in law the revell 1968 charger r/t  , that my ex brother in law glued and slapped together with no paint and too much glue ...

it was just saveable ....glass was ruined , moldings all needed to be shaved and rebuild (build those out of brass) ..

it pretty much has everything , fuellines , brakelines , fuelpump , powerboostalve , all cables and details ...

 

first some interiour pictures taken when i was building ...

oh and the total weight of the model is amazing its pretty heavy , i have build the same charger kit before not as detailed as this one and not as much scratch building and i think the gasser charger weighs twice what the other charger weighs lol :)
