ok guys this just started out to show what can be done with the Lindberg Challenger with the 71 conversion. Well it taken on a life of its own so I'll throw some bare metal foil on it and some hood pins with a couple of coats of clear before I move it on down the line....shoot I don't even build 1/25thscale anymore....LOL

thanks Chuck

Hey Chuck

Can I get a look at how your tail lights came out? Thanks for the lindberg tip, I would have never bought one because of the box photo.

I got the hood scoop from Mikes Scale Speed Shop.

I have done some more modifying to get it closer to what I want but it was a good starting point.

Chuck, on a completely unrelated to this build note; thank you for showing that Lindberg 1972 Challenger. A friend of mine is rebuilding a 1:1 1973 Challenger and I was about to start with the Revell 1970 piece and scratch the grill and taillight panels. You just saved me a considerable amount of time and styrene (although, the rest of the 72' Challenger kit is pretty much garbage. I will be kitbashing some AMT B-body components and some Revell B-body goodies to make it work).

your welcome Brad I hope it helped . I only wish that Vaugh or someone else would do the same conversion kit to make a 1970 Challenger and a 1972-73 Challenger. I believe it would help alot of modlers because the 1970 thru 1973 Challengers are very pricy even as rebuilders

thanks Chuck

A 1970 would be great.

You are so right about the prices. There are some nice resin bodies out there but again not a cheap way to go.
