1970 Dodge Challenger Hemi T/A

[mrmike]

This is my Challenger Hemi T/A painted with Model Master Hemi Orange Lacquer with a semi gloss white interior, Cragar SS mags, Shaker hood scoop, and Shabo tire lettering.

This is very nice! I have been thinking of buying this kit, but always I have seen something better! But now, when I see this one, I must buy one and build it. This one is very nice, paintjob is amazing, I can't make that good paintjob never! I'm sure from it. Foiling work looks really good too. After all, that shaker scoop is just correctly in the place. Nice stance on it, little rake it looks good, also those tires are perfect, and wheels. Gragar 5 spoke mags are fitting perfectly to this muscle car. That "pistol shifter" looks very good on it, engine detailing is awesome, and chassis looks cool.

If I must give some critic, it comes from that white interior. It looks very good, yeah but at the same time, it's looking good and unpainted. Well, that's really not a big thing and your Challenger looks very nice, so that doesn't matter at all... I have to continue building my '70 Coronet Super Bee right now...

Awesome!

Awesome!

Ditto on these parts..

The hood Idea is Excellent and I will definitely look into doing that on a future build

of one one day.

Super work..

That is one sweet Cuda! . Great job.

Thanks guys! This is a favorite build since it was fairly easy with the low parts count, but it also challenged me when I used the 426 Hemi in place of the 340 6-Pak. There were a few issues to sort out and if it wasn't for the help of a few members, I probably would still be working on it now.

Thanks Dave! I seem to recall the Shaker 340-S on the other forum. I think it was at the same time I did my Challenger R/T 340 Shaker using the T/A kit. Anyway, you are correct that building "what-if's" is a fun alternative to building factory stock and I would do it again if I can think of one that is appealing to me.

Hey Mike, without sounding pushy, how about doing a new Challenger exactly like this 1?? That would be a cool "what if"?? I know you've built a new stock Chally... Just thought it's a cool idea, like when I built my dual Challys... So long ago 

Cheers Cliffo 

Pushy?!! When have you ever been pushy? Well, we won't go into that! That is a great idea Cliff and one to consider for the future. But, right now I have other projects in mind that I want to do including finishing my Mannix Dart GTS convertible and starting a Spenser For Hire '66 Mustang from that series first season. Thanks for the idea and if you ever get back to building, you might want to consider that Challenger, too. Good idea!
