My '74 road runner

[6bblbird]

I've built a few replicas of cars that i own or have owned in the past. This one is a tribute to my favorite car of all. Plenty of good memories with this car. I bought it in early 1975 for a very good price as the gas crisis scared the original owner!

MPC kit with a AMT chassis. The kit chassis is garbage ?.

Very well done, good color choice, your decal work looks excellent. A lot of folks have complained about the decals in this kit.

Well done!

Thank you! I didn't mention that the decals were not from the kit. Decals were from Keith Marks.

Really cool build. I agree. Like many MPC kits from that time, The generic chassis details were lacking, their bodies were looking great though. I did something similar with mine. I took the 68 plymouth AMT engine and chassis. I had the more recent issue in the tin box which had the right dashboard and good decals. Great job all around on yours. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

This kit was not readily available when I wanted to build a replica of my '74. I paid a great deal of money to buy a kit that I found on line (Of course, the kit was re-released about a month after I paid dearly for one). You can imagine my disappointment upon opening the kit box to find the roof caved in, the single exhaust chassis with catalytic converter, a Dodge Coronet dashboard and no stripes!

I was pissed off to say the least.

Keith Marks solved the decal problem, an AMT chassis took care of the garbage chassis and engine and by the time I fixed the roof with hot water, the re-released kits were on the shelf and I got the correct dash.
