custom 1969 dodge charger 500

[michelle]

this is a mpc 69 dodge daytona kit i used a mpc 68 charger grille with a mpc 68 coronet rt custom grille fitted into the 68 charger grille
i modifed the dash into right hand drive
i added a extra horizontal slat to the wing and used a set of vectors and 6 and 9 number decals from a mpc country charger kit
i used a set of 3d resin printed recaro style racing bucket seats the hemi engine is from a revell 70 charger rt and the firewall is from a revell dart and the master cylinder/power booster is from my parts boxes
i painted the body rust-oleum 2x gloss apple red
i painted the interior rust-oleum 2x flat black primer

Nice build, very smooth paint, and I like the extra slat in the rear wing.

The Charger 500 was/is overall the better looking than the 69 Charger with the recessed rear window/ flying buttress  configuation...

Digging the Wing!

Cool! there is a real 1:1 Daytona like this here in the UK the only difference its Yellow....the nosecone was damaged is the reason why.

I think it looks odd compared to standard 69...it looks like a Ford Torino,makes perfect sence when you think about it...despite my comment i would love to own a 500.

They are on an old pc but i will dig them out....the guy has owned the Daytona since almost new.....a Drag race car all its life....very famous in the UK! he has the nosecone and an easy fix,but likes the car without it.

This not my photo! but 1986...i will sort out my photos...its the real thing! the miles a quarter of a mile at a time...i think the original engine mothballed and safe with the nosecone...has something like a Keith Black HEMI...in the 9 second quarter 10s at the slowest.

I am working on that kit (pig)....or i should say i was (stalled) this is great inspiration Michelle to keep chipping away thank you.
