restoman Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 This will be largely box stock with a few added details like plug wires, rad hose, etc. I seriously debated swapping in a better chassis, along with the proper rear end, proper intake and air breather, etc., but the misshapen door & hood scallops and the work to make them look better meant just too much work when there are much better Charger kits out there. I am going to pull the air cleaner and wrap it in foil, though... So, it got sprayed with nail polish and automotive clear. I added some redlines and a set of recall wheels, and it will carry a black 500 tailstripe. Comments always welcome. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yay, recognition!😄. I haven't done the 500 version yet but is high on my to do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a different version than the one you've successfully completed multiple times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more or less the same kit though.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
restoman Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Slow going...but it's at the final assembly stage. The kit tail stripe wouldn't cooperate, so I went with a white stripe I found in the decal bin. I like it better than the black one. Comments always welcome. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69_500 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Sweet looking build. It nearly matches my 500. I have tried for years to build exact replicas of my cars, but my painting skills are not near as good as you posted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
