Revell 2009 Challenger Brock Yates Tribute

[Erik Smith]

Here is my week-late Cannonball Run car. Not in the actual competition...but completed none the less. This was built as a tribute to Brock Yates and is a modern take on Brock’s previous runs in his Challenger. 

Not a lot of mods...

Semi stripped the interior and threw down some carbon fiber decals in the rear compartment. Added race style seats with CF decals. Removed the center console (replaced with a case of protein drinks for The Run). A couple cases of LaCroix add weight and hydration in the back “seat”.

Wheels are Pegasus to mimic the later model wheels on Brock’s car. Added lug nuts and actually painted them two tone - but Alclad pale gold is pretty darn close to chrome, so unless you get the perfect light, you can’t tell.

Under the hood I scratch built a Kenne Bell-ish supercharger.

That’s about it. Thanks for looking and congrats to the great models that actually made the deadline down in the Cannonball Run CBP!!!

Way cool... I want to eventually do a tribute build using an MPC '74.

Looks great Eric, I like what you did under the hood.

Boost and LaCroix, nice touch on the interior too...

Cheers

Your builds are always perfectly clean and precise. Super job! You may not think the supercharger is a big mod, but it sure makes a difference. Well done my friend.

I like what you did

I like your build idea. Very impressive engine room detailing. I'm looking at the Radiator Over Flow Tank and wondering how you got such a realistic finish on it.

Wheels, stance, details...Perfect
