Can-Con Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 This is the one I expected when Steve G. said there would be a kit not seen since the late '70s. I wonder if they're going to run with the chrome wheels or do them separate, molded in gold plastic like the original? , , And I do hope they do the decals in metallic gold with the custom hood decal that was in the original. But, of course, I don't need another myself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decals will be Metallic gold and expanded from the original. -Steve 9 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxwell48098 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Remember that you can swap the 4X4 components between the War Lock and the D100 pickup so you can build a W100 full size pickup and a 2wd step side pickup. A.J. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Oh man I am looking forward to get one of the Worlocks! Did Chrysler do a few in dark green if I remember correctly? I do remember the Dodge slogan from the 80’s. The Dodge boys have more fun… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but as I've already built one, I doubt I'll be building another.

In '77 they came in black metallic, green metallic and bright red. In '78 they added citron green metallic and sunrise orange. I think the '78 black was a solid, not metallic like '77 but I'm not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 So, what's the difference between the Warlock & the Midnite Express? Are they actually the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all the same. The Midnight Express was very similar to the LRT but with a hi output 400 instead of the 360,IIRC and there were only about 200 made. The Warlock was a much more common package available with any engine including the slant 6 and in 2WD and 4X4 drivetrain and in more colors.

CapSat 6 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 LOTS of potential with this release. Like has been said above- you can swap the 2wd & 4x4 drivetrains between the longbed and Warlock kits, and there were many special models and packages in ‘77 and ‘78. I would like to see some kind of modification to the cab casting where the grille mounts. It just sort of floats there and is very difficult to mount as it is currently. Otherwise, for the time (the longbed was originally released in 1971) this was a pretty good kit, and the details hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
