Painted this one a while back 

Simple rattle can duplicolor red . Slixx decals. On the recent MPC Challenger kit . Built pretty much box stock 

Fairly simple kit to build. The only mods I did was I widened the rear track width just a touch to pull the tires out closer to the edge of the body.

 

Decals are designed for the Johan body so they don't truly follow the contours of the MPC body like they should. But it is what it is . I'm happy with it

Changed to better pictures.

 

PS, I'll add here. Getting that rear spoiler on there AFTER its painted was tedious.

I thought real hard to just leave it off

Really nicely done..With me being born & raised in Chicago, these guys were my drag racing heroes..I don't know how many times I've seen them at US 131 or Cordova drag strip..Your paint is on point, I like the 3move to widen the rear slicks and the decals fall in place..Job well done!!! John Faconkas, Austin Coil & Pat Minik would be proud.

Great looking build there . I find these challengers really fun to build. I made one of these a while back and had trouble with some of the white decals flaking off .

Nice looking build.  I remember this drag car running a Bench Bend Raceway Park back in the day.
