Finally got around to finishing this thing.

[Force]

Nice!!

Very nice!

Another awesome build , Tim. Super clean, and I like the way you did the roof and gave it a road course stance with right side filler.. The  things that add authenticity to a build. Also you don't see a Charger 500 done a lot. Again , a beautiful build inside and out.

[Dave Van]

Fantastic as always!!

There’s a whole story on that stupid roof. I’ve wanted to build this car for a long time. Sam is one of my favorite racing drivers. I know the air cleaner is wrong for this car. It’s been laying around firebrand it looks cool in there so I used it.

Great looking build sir, I really like it.

Thanks guys

The Charger 500 looks perfect! Nicely done.

Looks great! Why did you use a resin body? Isn't the AMT General Lee acceptable?

This body has the taillight blocked off nicely. The wheel openings already opened up and the grille screened . Headlights blocked off too. Plus I got the body cheap!! And the General Lee doesn’t have a 500 grille

Thank you.

[Tommy124]

Beautifully done! I really like it!

[Shambles]

Man, that's some nice work!

[Wm David Green]

Great looking Charger, I'd be happy enough if I could make something similar using the Revell '68 Charger R/T as a basis.

Love those wide wheels too. 

[Wm David Green]

I have an MPC '69 Charger body and glass, and the chassis from the Revell '70 Charger, and a couple of spare engines to work with.

So with skill  patience and ingenuity, plus lots of Evergreen plastic and filler, I hope to get a result.

Tim, you got any pix of the completed chassis and interior with the body off?

I'm most interested in the dash area where it meets the firewall. I wanted to see how you handled that area!

Gerald I can’t find a picture but I can tell you that I built the Polar Lights cage as it should be built. Added the dash on top of the part that goes under the Polar Lights dash. I have also built them using the Polar Lights dash. In that case I leave about 1/8 or maybe a little less gap between the firewall and the dash. I then stuff it in the body and make sure it’s right.

[gks1964]

Thanks, I'll give that a try!
