roadhawg Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I been going through this "Mopar musclecar" thing lately.....not Hemi stuff, mind you, but the wedge motor stuff. I figured if I threw together a Revell 70 Challenger, it might just get it out of my system for awhile. This one is pretty much box stock, except for engine wiring and tire lettering. Decals are a combination of kit decals and Keith Marks. Paint is plain ol' Testors Sublime lacquer. Did this get this "Mopar fixation" out of my system? Well....not exactly. I'm now gathering parts to build a 68 440 GTX. Is there a support group for this?
dwc43 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Once you go Mopar, you'll never go back. Everything else is all slow and boring after you been with a Mopar. And yes, there's a help group. http://www.moparperformancechat.forumotion.net lol Edited March 23, 2009 by dwc43
fordh8r Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Very nice and clean! The color is perfect and the engine is just right.
george 53 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Lookin good Roadhawg! Mopes an Chevs are my favorite brands! I did kinda lose my thing for Mopar AFTER 71(no more Hemi's) The new ones don't do a thing for me. But as long as I can still build 'em in 25th scale I'm happy. Your Challenger's lookin good, great build!

Spike Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 i got a amt/ertl johnny lightning '70 dodge challenger rt convertible i want the 1/64 car
B_rad88 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 sorry i was going to paint the 1/64 car to match the 1/25 challenger when i get done building it. i like the idea of a matching set. if i change my mine i will pm you spike, on any info.
diymirage Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 i want the 1/64 car provided i havent lost it in the move, what would you be willing to trade for it ?
1967mustang Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 i have the same affliction and dwc43 is right once your there you cant go back! once in a while something else pops up for me to build but its just mopars and mustangs after that.

I can't argue with you too much on that one. I've got into this kick of building movie and tv show cars that I like. I'm doing the '68 fast back GT for Bullitt along with the '68 Charger for the hit men. So I covered both your worlds there .... lol.
B_rad88 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 i am getting into those jdm tuner cars and srang looking cars like the koenig specails ferrari testarossa competition. they look nice and sleek. this is the ks ferrari testarossa, thanks to fujimilover for the pic.

Bryce Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Nice build - looks great in that colour. I too have a thing for mopar muscle. I think it's got something to do with all the cool groovy colours and stripes.
