When I met my wife about 32 years ago. [Wait, that can't be right, can it?? ?] Her brother Mike had a '69 GTX.

This a replica I built of the car as a Christmas present for him as it was when he owned it. Sadly he passed a couple years ago but his daughter still has the model on a shelf in a case.

This was built about 25 years ago so be nice.  There's a lot of things I would have done differently now to correct some of the shortcomings of the kit.

I couldn’t tell from your pictures how old the model is. You don’t want to see my builds from 25yrs ago…..

looks great to me. Love the Mopar, the color, backstory, and execution.

It certainly is just as good looking  today, gorgeous in black and that engine bay is just as great. Models or real, cars bring us memories of people close to us and that is priceless.

Nice build Steve, it has aged very well. Building replicas for people is definitely rewarding. I enjoy doing it myself, and also love hearing other’s stories about replica builds. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Steve
