There is no build thread for this one. Once I got started, I didnt take time to snap some pictures and by the time I wanted to, I was in too deep. This is the Monogram release of the '70 Dodge Challenger T/A. It came molded in that really cool dark red metal flake with Turtle Wax. I didnt care for the hood scoop but I noticed the hood was cut to fit the shaker. I was able to score a shaker from someone on this forum but I forget who it was. Thanks friend!

I went with the 426 HEMI and wired it, added a throttle cable, heater hoses and a fuel line. I had to cut the exhaust so they could connect to the headers. I added aluminum tubing as a reducer/collector to connect to them. I added curlies to the master cylinder, flocked the carpet and added wood grain contact paper for the interior wood accents. I used BMF and chrome pens for the trim. The paint is craft acrylic metal flake mixed 2:1 with alcohol shot at 20psi. The clear is Duplicolor automotive clear.

This was the first time I pinned the mirrors. I was happy with how they turned out. The wheels are from the kit and the tires are AMT aftermarket Firestones.

Thanks for looking

Great looking color and finish, lots of sparkle in the paint. The engine detailing and the interior look well done as well.

Slick looking Challenger Steve! That blue suits it well. I dig the added shaker
