David Thibodeau Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Quick build..... used a 1971 AMT Charger R/T kit, pegasus wheels, PPG metallic blue basecoat, painted stripes and 2 part clear and alot of imagination! Its a slammer with a V-10 borrowed from an AMT Viper GTS kit along with the seats and steering wheel. The engine shroud was made from sheet plastic, Scalemotorsport CF and 2 part clear. It was alot of fun to finish after sitting 2 years..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kombi Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 That looks fantastic. The engine cover is really quite a cool idea and it's a nice touch with the Dzus fasteners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 That looks fantastic. The engine cover is really quite a cool idea and it's a nice touch with the Dzus fasteners. Ditto. And Carbon Fiber.. Awesome. I love it........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Y'know I at first ignored this thread because I just don't get into the whole "pro touring" type cars. But I got nosy because I seen all the replies so far and...............WOW!! The whole thing just looks soooooooo RIGHT!! The wheels, the color, the stripes,.......and I just love that engine cover! I'll have to be more "nosy" from here on out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george 53 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 To be honest with you, that looks good enough for Harry's RoM! The pics are top quality, and so is the build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks guys..... I was hoping Marc Nellis would give a reply too... that guy is my inspiration for pro tour builds.... Thanks again all! DaveT Dave, I've been away from the forum lately. Too much work/life stuff in the way these days. I have to say, this is an awesome build and I'm flattered that a builder of your caliber gets inspiration from my pro touring builds. This Charger really has the "look" and I'm going to try the engine surround on a future build. Keep up the good work! Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Bill I agree, they have to go WITH the car, when you start doing things that take away, it starts to just be rediculous, but this is so well thought out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
