I found a fix for the tail light panel ,by using MPC 70' charger tail light panel from missing link .

Is it a drop in replacement or is a little sanding needed?.

[Mr mopar]

Little sanding on the backside but a drop in !

What is wrong with the Revell '70 Charger's tail light panel?

What did you use to make the reflectors?

The  think wrong is it does not have the tail light trim panel and to make the reflectors I used reflector tape silver and placed it on the back side of the tail light .

I couldn't see the lack of the trim panel in the pictures that were posted of the kit's parts.  Thanks for showing me this.

[kelson]

Really shines with the clear added.

How is the front wheel stance on this kit?  The Revell 1968 and 1969 Charger kits sit very high in the front.  Is the front stance lower? 

[Mr mopar]

well I got some more painting done , hood stripes ,Vinyl roof, rad support , and polished out the body .it's a slow go but I'm getting there ....LOL      Enjoy the pic's.

 

[kelson]

[Mr mopar]

[High octane]

[crowe-t]

The vinyl top and the paint look great!  

[geewhiz]

Very good looking!!!  Keep up the fine work!!!?

[Mr mopar]

thank guy's for the kind words ........more to come in the next week !

[Mr mopar]

Ok got some work done on the interior , don't like the dash decal so I Photo copied  it and made a flat piece of plastic to make a

flat surface so the wood grain dash would lay flat, made a new Pistol grip shifter for a console car this is what  it should look like.

had to add strip plastic to the up door panel ,an then BMF the door panels  also added a tuff wheel this is what my real car came with  and flocked the floors and added seat belts  .  enjoy

How did you do the vinyl top?

[Mr mopar]

I airbrushed it using low pressure and 12 inches way from the model to get that texture . used flat black then Coal black .
