71 Inviolet (Plum Crazy) Roadrunner

Although it needs side mirrors, I am calling this done. It is the old Monogram Satellite kit with MCW Aerosol can paint under Tamiya clear and Keith Marks decals. This kit was retooled as a GTX and now has the the powerbulge hood with the air grabber scoop in its currently available form. While that hood is OK, I prefer this style and really wish they would have given you both hoods in the current release. Maybe some resin caster will step up and fill this gap (hint hint) :roll:

wow thats pretty nice!!how about mine??

That is shaping up nicely Mr. Mopar. Your engine really shines and I'm sure you'll build the rest of the car as nicely as you assembled that engine. One thing you may want to consider before you get too much further is that Jimmy Flintstone sells a 70 Challenger body with the roof already molded on. The best part: when I bought one a few years back it was only $10! Either way it's going to look great. Have you decided on a color? The High Impact colors like Plum crazy, Sublime, and Hemi Orange are all too common at most model shows, but I love the way they look and I can't resist them. Eventually, I'll get around to some of the more understated colors like Beige and Pewter Metallic, but first I've got to build something in Panther Pink! :shock:
