CapSat 6 Posted January 31, 2018 Author Posted January 31, 2018 I did get promo engine inserts, promo wheels & rear bumpers from the Modelhaus some time ago, eventually, I’m going to do phantom 500 and Daytona promos. I can’t afford to get into the promo game, but when I compete them, I’ll have two really cool ones.
Chuck Most Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 You know- if somebody did a GL conversion kit for the Revell kit (decals, wheels, brush guard... and any other thing I might be forgetting), I think that conversion kit would be a decent seller.

That’s just about the reverse of what I was suggesting- and the right way to go if you want to build a nice GL. Slixx does the decals, and Fireball Modelworks does a nice set of wheels and tires. That would leave you with the cage and push bar, which could be scratchbuilt. You could probably scare up a CB radio and antenna from almost any 70’s era kit (like the recent MPC reissues of the AMC Pacer, Chevy Nova and Plymouth Volare).

Oldmopars Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 About 10 years ago I wanted to built a replica of the General Lee. We have seen every show many times and knew the car and all the details well. I bought the GL kit and found that it was junk for all the reasons listed. I used the decals, the wheels and a few other little bits and then bought a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T kit from Revel, it was a very nice kit, great detail and very correct. I had to fix a few little things, but in the end it can out to a really nice GL. I would post pictures, but it it currently packed.
