For this build I started with the mpc 1967 charger kit with the following modifications: 
front and rear wheel wells are moved forward 

I cut the floor out of the interior and replaced it with sheet styrene. I also covered the dashboard with sheet styrene, and made the roll cage from 0.80 styrene rod.

I cut the shock towers off the chassis and I also cut a section out of the middle of it. The front axle is aluminum tubing held on with shocks from my parts box. 

engine modifications include the front engine plate from a polar lights funny car. The intake manifold, fuel tank, and pump are from amt’s 1963 corvette. I fashioned the velocity stacks from aluminum tubing. The headers are sourced from the revell hemi dart kit. 

the slicks and front tires are amt. the American wheels are from my parts box 

the light pink paint is krylon. I think the decals were by penguin, but I’m not 100% sure. 
Doing the wheel well mods on this one was a little tricky as far as 8D1A5768-624B-455E-921E-89958D903D9A.thumb.jpeg.c57fd8e26180fbe35ae94976834fa836.jpeg266BFBA6-EAC2-4BC5-B2DE-26C1953B67BB.thumb.jpeg.72948ad80b5f6f59a900525b714ecdd9.jpeg68C4D50A-7FAF-4118-B729-C9063147D535.thumb.jpeg.829dabf2cf9275e7e4bd519ffc12d133.jpegE3906CE1-BDC9-4675-8183-95BCCDF0AEE7.thumb.jpeg.fc128ddcfd68f9f80ef158e0910cdef2.jpeg6CBD82EA-2085-4B53-BB8E-1F05EE221C58.thumb.jpeg.cdb18b578d496557edffedbab88ce30a.jpeg7F3402D5-BFD0-4C35-8919-7E9C6867ACC2.thumb.jpeg.c37452fa9f43245f92ee0ac92aa34df9.jpeg3B8C6E39-820F-4CDA-B658-FE86792F7B17.thumb.jpeg.a2d1c605489955654b01f62a524d27aa.jpeggetting the body  lines lined up right. To be real accurate you would want to make a flip front end. This issue has great reference photos of this car and is fairly easy to find.
