1968 Dodge Coronet R/T

[Marc @ MPC Motorsports]

This is my first completion in 15 months since I finished the red '73 Trans Am. It feels really good to get back to the bench and accomplish something. I've listed the major details of the build below.

The body is a Resin King '68 Coronet R/T that was a real challenge to get looking this good. I used a chassis from an AMT '69 Charger Daytona and an interior from an AMT '69 GTX. The front seats are resin copies from a Revell Dodge Magnum and the gauges are custom white faced units from Keith Marks. Paint is Duplicolor Super White with Tamiya TS-13 clear. The R/T stripe is from Fred Cady and the R/T emblems are Model Car Garage photoetch. The six pack hood is a BRP Resin piece that I mastered.

The engine is from the Charger Daytona with resin cast M/T valve covers. Intake system is from the AMT '70 Coronet pro street kit, as are the drive pullies and alternator. The wiper motor and master cylinder came from a Revell '69 Charger kit.

Wheels and tires are 19" Aoshimas with black painted spokes and resin Brembo disc brakes. Other details include door handles and a rear view mirror from the Revell '69 Charger kit and a rear wing from a Revell '71 Hemicuda. The '69 GTX kit gave up its glass and the chrome bumpers and grille came from Modelhaus.

Enjoy the pics.

Marc, that build is totally what you are about. Cool styling, aggressive stance and a gotcha factor.

Great work and cool car.

Glad to see you back.

Glad to see it finished. It turned out real sharp & clean. I must say that black/white scheme has grown on me. Great job. Love the wheels. So.... which one are you going to finish next?

Your time away from the bench sure looks like it paid off with the completion of this build! Very good job! If I had a buck for everytime I lost a race to a car like this, I could go get me a six-pack!(pun intended!) Great build!

[Fisher61]

Wow, I wondered what happened to this one after it dropped off the radar screen! Glad to see you got it finished, it looks great!

Sweet looking Mopar, Marc. I got kinda worried when I started reading back thru the last year on the board and didn't see any posts from ya. It's good to see ya knocking them out again.

[kjadud0667]

do they have an actual 68 coronet r/t kit or do i have to get the resin ? if i do have to get the Resin what site did u get it from ?

[RadRidesByDan]

Thant car is fantastic....the color with the accessories couldnt of been better chosen. Best part is I can say that this is an angel car in disguise.....looks sweet but deadly

Sorry I missed this one the first time it was at the top. Very righteous build! I watched the under construction posts and I was diggin' it the whole time. Great result! The white with black is perfectly timely. It is really big in the import scene right now. Particularly the VW scene. This is sooo appropriate, it's not funny!

It just works!

I wanted to tell you, your work motivates me to stray from the hot rod builds I love so much. Nothing wrong with that! If you liked my Comet, wait until you see the next Pro-touring build I have up my sleeve!

[Wildrice]

One sick Mopar. Great work.

[RodBurNeR]

[Slim Louis]

Nice!
