2009 Challenger finally done

[miatamadman]

I can't believe I did it! After being in a slump for awhile, I finally sat down and built this in a week. I almost accomplished building it box stock....but you know how that goes. Anyway, on with the unveiling.

This is the Revell Challenger kit built pretty much box stock except for the addition of the shaker scoop and a slight lowering job. For paint, I used Testors wonderful Nassau Blue Metallic topped with their Ultra Gloss Clearcoat.

I left the rockers body color to give it that more in the weeds stance along with the lowering.

Well done Zoli .... !!! The paint color looks close to B5 blue (at least on my monitor) which is my all-time favorite Mopar color.

The shaker hood and the stance are spot on, and you picked the right color for this one.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I've been in a building slump for a couple of months and this was the first project I actually worked on in awhile.

Lowering this baby was pretty easy. I ditched the metal pins and axle and just glued the brake rotors to the spindles after temp. gluing blocks to the frame to get the ride height I was looking for.. I also had to trim the tie rod ends a bit and I also had to cut some material away from the inside top portion of the tires to clear the shocks and inner fender well.
