Revell's 70 Challenger. W.I.P

[Dandyfunk]

Hello all, I am new here. I thought I would show some pics of my current build. I am going for a resto-mod type deal. Car is just mocked up for the pics. Enjoy. DF

Let me know what you all think!!

[Blake Rogers]

THAT IS A SWEET RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! and my fav color to!! what brand name of paint is it? cant wait to see more !!!

[Dandyfunk]

Thanks Blake, The color is Tamiya's TS Lime Green over Tamiya's grey primer. I originally used Model masters Mopar green but screwed it up. Since I had to re-do the paint I made the change. I thought the Testors paint was too dark. What do you think of the shaved window trim? DF

It's definitely very green so far, but it's looking good.

Which kit supplied those Keystone wheels, and which tires are you using with them?

[Dandyfunk]

Yep bumbers are staying black.

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

Had a chance to rent a new Challenger over the weekend in Chicago. There was a chance for snow so I decided to rent a front wheel drive Dodge Journey instead.

The wheels and tires are after market by MRC. Keystones on Mickey Tompson Indy Profiles. The disc brakes are by model masters.

ahhh i would still do it

[Dandyfunk]

Nah...picking new project getting board with this one. I got some under the hood stuff to do, buff out the clear coat then on to the next one. I am debating between the 55 Pro Sportsman or stealing the blown 427 from Revell's 68 Corvette and stuffing it into the Revell's re-done 69 Nova SS. DF

Very Cool looking Challenger

Love the color and the wheels and tires look great on it..

[Phatsamurai]

I would stuff that blown Big block into the nova, make a bracket racer out of it.

[Dandyfunk]

Here are a few more pics. Finished the under the hood details. I like how its turning out, not bad for the first time plumbing!!!

[diymirage]

looking good

my only suggestion is putting the mirrors on

i didnt do it at first either but a model looks so much better with them on

it al in the detail after all

[crazyjim]

Sharp looking build.

[Dandyfunk]

Thanks Diymirage/Crazyjim, The jury is still out on the mirrors for me, but I think you may be right. They will half to be black tho!! DF

[Phatsamurai]

[Dandyfunk]

Just need to pick out some plates and stick them on and I am done.
