caine440 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Well guys it took me forever but this one is done. The photos are a little dark but it is the best I could do here. Don at reliable resin saved the day on this one by sending me a hood to replace the one I trashed. I also used clear head lights made by him. Thanks for looking!
Adam144 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Simply a gorgeous build. The under-hood detail is great!
Rob Z Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Very nice Roger, GREAT WORK!!! The paint is perfect and the detail is AWESOME!!!
spkgibson Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Hey you can send that to me, To put in my collection, Looks great Caine!
Plasticfanatic Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Beautiful and superb build, stunning model!!
Dragline Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Absolutely fantastic Roger. You Sir, have arrived. Bob
oldscool Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 I was hoping to see this one finished. Looks great! grumpy gus
Reliable Resin Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 WOW ... 2 Thumbs Up ! Roger , you have really come a long way , in a short period of time 1 of the most impressive aspects of that piece , is Paint I know many accomplished builders , who would think twice about that tackling that 2 tone deal & the curved edges , to match the decals pinstripes ! I'll be re~introducing all the Pro Stock'rs i.e. 72 > 73 Challenger P/S, & the 71 Challenger , as well as the 72 Duster P/S ( fresh rubber ) w/ a few NEW goodies that I've collected / found ( in the past 2 > 3 yrs ) for the "different faces , different Races " look of these P/S'rs through out the years At the moment , I'm offering the corrected 73>74 Duster P/S body & various packages / presentations Can't wait to see those "other" Pro Stock pieces that you have stored , collecting dust on your shelf > LOL
caine440 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Posted February 12, 2011 I am working as fast as I can! Thanks for all the kind words!
baddgass Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Man this is NICE it came out great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Old Coyote Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 That's the best replica of that car I have seen ......... great work Roger
Cato Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 The only inaccuracy in your presentation is that Landy's stomach was approximately twice that size... Great detail, build and reference.
Carmikeman Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 thing looks fast just settin still!!! sweet build.
Force Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) This is a very nice representation of this car and I really like it a lot. The only thing I can complain about is the placing of the dual distributors, it looks a bit strange where they are now...as they could have been on a Ford engine. It should look more like this. Or like this Edited February 20, 2011 by Force
Reeves Racing Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 That is an OUTSTANDING build. The Challenger is a very tough looking car and with that paint and tires it looks like a monster. Great job. Thanks for posting.
caine440 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 Yea I get it the distributors are not correct. Thanks for pointing it out again. If you knew anything about me or my builds you would be aware I am very well versed in the history of early Pro Stock. This motor was built over a year ago when I first started in the hobby and was the first try at using a aftermarket distributor kit to make a dual plug motor. To the best of my knowledge there has never been a dual plug Pro Stock Ford motor. Then I am no expert. Thanks for all the kind words from everyone else.

I really like your model a lot and was just trying to give out constructive critisism...but that seems to have backfired big time. I'm sorry if I offended you, because that was not my meaning at all.

spkgibson Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I still think this car is absolutely Jaw Dropping.
