misterNNL Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Great project.I built one of these back in the old MPC contest series days in the 1960's in 1/25th scale.I based mine on an Dodge Challanger body with engines pirated from MPC mailbox chopper kits.Yours is WAY nicer than mine with tons of details I never even considered in those days.Thanks for sharing!
