Furiousgeorge Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 After years sitting in the corner of my bench, finally got this one done! Has a ‘71 Charger engine bay, chassis and engine. Not the greatest kit, and added issues with the Charger parts, but I got it together!
TooOld Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Lookin' good ! Always liked that body style .
Furiousgeorge Posted December 24, 2017 Author Posted December 24, 2017 Thanks! I may change out the tires and rims though. When I started it, I was going for a ‘70’s street machine type of look. But seeing the pictures, the fronts just seem too big.
NYLIBUD Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Very nice car.Especially the wood grain interior.
RAMBENNA Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 great job , nice paint. love the look and stance
Hmann68 Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Nice! A buddy of mine had a 74 Satellite in dark green.
espo Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Very nice and the Show Room style detailing really stands out. If you do change the wheels you might consider the factory style Rally wheel with a more standard size tire.
Furiousgeorge Posted December 24, 2017 Author Posted December 24, 2017 Thanks! I still have the rally wheels that it came with, but the tires are terrible. I’m looking for better ones, might go with the Polyglas tires from the AMT Roadrunner.
montelsc Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Love this build great height beautiful color have the same one built stock but why do these kits come with a Monaco dash would it have been so hard to make a satellite/roadrunner dash Edited December 25, 2017 by montelsc
Furiousgeorge Posted December 26, 2017 Author Posted December 26, 2017 Not sure why the Monaco parts (I hear the chassis is Monaco as well?), but it’s the only game in town so a guys gotta make due. I have ged our the tires and wheels, went with stock rallyes and the pad printed Polyglas tires from the ‘68 Roadrunner. Much better.
Snake45 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Very nice. I like the new wheels/tires better. The color is great. What's the paint?

What do you mean by pad printed?Is that a technique you use or were they printed from factory?By the way it does look better!
