Can-Con Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 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. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intmd8r Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncbuckeye67 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Very nice! I love to see replica builds, although I'm envious of the folks who actually own the 1:1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
