walt francis Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I broke my cardinal rule of not working on more than one at a time. I just had to bust the Challenger out and start cleaning it up but their is really no cleanup to it, the parts are so clean I guess I will have to start priming it.
mannyclub Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Hey Walt, Cool i love this car! Cant wait to see what you do with it, or are you building it like the box art? I built the 09 one, no engine though. I have to get the full detailed one thats for sure. Manny
walt francis Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Hey Manny, I am going to build it just like the box and if the full detail kit is as clean as this I will surely buy one, i just hope they come up with a little bigger wheel to fill the opening.
mannyclub Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Cool Walt! I agree about the tires too, i loward mine so now it looks like they fit better lol. I saw a full kit of one a freind had and was a very nice kit. Seems every time i go to get one there gone and just the basic ones are left. Manny

walt francis Posted March 25, 2011 Author Posted March 25, 2011 Dave, didn't you build one of your brothers car, I think it would look cool with the same color, and manny did you just close up the holes and redrill them higher ?
