mrmike Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) This is my AMT '69 Road Runner that was converted from an AMT '69 GTX kit. It is painted with Tamiya TS-20 Metallic Green with a Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black interior featuring embossing powder for carpet, under dash gauges and the steering column mounted tachometer. Magnum 500 wheels and a Hurst shifter with T-handle from my parts box. I scratch-built the radio antenna on the right front fender. Edited January 23, 2018 by mrmike
Hmann68 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Really nice! I just love 69 RR's with the Performance hood paint! I like the shifter and tach, things that a lot of people did shortly after buying a car. The Tamiya color is pretty dang close, it looks authentic. Nice job!
espo Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 This turned out perfect. I know the hard work you put into it and it really shows. In '69 I was not much of a MoPar guy but I always liked this model, you know a good car when you see it no matter who made it.
drodg Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Nice job. You could probably use a set of Keith Mark's decals for the Roadrunner emblems etc. Love it.
High octane Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Very nice job on that Road Runner Mike, as I just love dem Mopars!
El Caballo Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Nice,'68-'70 were great years for those cars.
Ron Hamilton Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 I really like that one. I got the latest issue of Muscle Car Review in the mail yesterday, and on the cover is a gorgeous red 69 RR with a black vinyl roof. I may do mine to match that car.

disabled modeler Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Nice one Mike...! I built a 4door wagon from one of these..LOL.
vintagercr Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Nice clean build. My cousin had one that was a forest green. I would love to build him a replica. 383/4 gear with Mickey Thompsons on the back

I have used Bare Metal Foil and Molotow Liquid Chrome on this '69 Road Runner. Thanks guys! I knew I could turn a '69 GTX body into a '69 Road Runner and it came out just as I had envisioned! drodg, Keith Marks doesn't offer a set of decals for the '69 Road Runner. But, I might be able to use some from the '68-'70 Road Runner decal sheet for the doors and the trunk lid. It's funny, I was looking through my decals for another project and found a set of decals for the doors of a '68 Road Runner. I cut them apart and installed the on the doors.

Sorry, I was looking on my phone.
Can-Con Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 What I like best about this one is you did your homework and but the wiper motor where the wiper motor goes and the "Beep Beep" horn where it's supposed to go and not followed the incorrect instructions on the instruction sheet.
mrmike Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Steve, I have known about the mis-leading instructions for some time now. I believe it was Fury3 who had told me about them and I am grateful for him to passed on that knowledge (well, some of it at least) to me. I looked at the instructions and said, "Oh yeah! He's right!" and corrected my mistake. I think that error also extends to the '70 Super Bee as well, but I'm not 100% sure. Now, I look over the instructions before building and if I see an error, I research it and make note of a correction on the sheet. Edited January 26, 2018 by mrmike
