The Forgotten Charger

[satterwhite78]

The 69 Charger 500.  Started out that I was going to make a NASCAR version with all the necessary parts in hand, however I just couldn't get the motivation started.  I have however been on a tear with factory/stock editions. I thought of using the Revell bodies of the 69 Daytona and Charger, splicing the latter front fenders to the Daytona but got to playing around with the AMT body and the Revell chassis and interior does fit the AMT.  Just some small mods to the rear chassis panels to fit the curvature of the AMT rear quarter panels. Everything in the Revell kit (Chassis/interior) was used, the exception was the rims/Dog dishes. Rims from the Revell 68 Charger and the Dog dishes from a Monogram Superbird.

I do plan to redo the hood by removing the hood pins and the hood turn signal trim (too pronounced).

Fantastic build, hard to tell if it is a 1:1 or a model. Looks super good.

   That's another good'n that will look good next to the Red 300. You do lay down Good Lookin' Paint!

Thanks for sharing this, I've always pondered the same 'bash you've performed here and glad to see it is doable. Nice work.
