A tip for all AMT Mopar builders

[oldscool]

Thought I would throw this out there for those who are less knowledgable about Mopars. I have lost count of the number of AMT Mopar builds I have seen with this mistake. It's a mistake on the instuctions that has been there since day one of the 68 Roadrunner and is still on the sheet for the Round 2 release of the 69 GTX.

Part 18 is not the wiper motor, it's the "beep beep" horn for Roadrunners.

The correct part is # 141 on the chrome sprue:

I hope this is helpful to someone out there.

Works for me thank you very much for sharing with us.

Related tip- if you're building a Road Runner (not sure of the years, but at least '69-'72), paint the horn with Testors #1134 Purple enamel paint, as it's a dead ringer for the correct color:

Tip #2: the wiper motor is not chrome on the 1:1 cars.

I have also tried to tell people this but without much sucess, most have the belief that if it is on the insruction sheet it must be right!

CHEERS!

Thanks for the tip I am a die-hard MOPAR fan and I'm ashamed to say I would have probably missed it.

Ironically, the 2 speed wiper motor in the kit doesn't fit with the Hemi air cleaner lid on actual Mopar's. Does another kit have the 3 speed motor, which lays flat against the firewall?

The AMT '71 Duster has a nice 3 speed wiper motor

Just be sure that it's the correct 2-spd BEEP BEEP horn though!

You mean beep-BEEP...
