68 RoadRunner

[martinfan5]

I am doing this for a contest build, my plans are making it somewhat of a sleeper looking , I am going to take parts from a Viper kit, I am going to try and fit the V10 in it.

some ideas I have for the interior, I know I am going to use the center console from a new charger kit

Here is the body painted and the interior painted, I am using MM Dodge GTS pearl blue

[Bartster]

Gotta love those '60s Mopars. Looking real good. I love the upgrades, hope it works out well!

[moparmagiclives]

Great color on that body.

[my name is nobody]

that Blue really compliments the bodylines of your old Plymouth.

the V10 is cool. great idea for a build. I like it.

[martinfan5]

Thanks, I have not touch the body yet, thats straight from the paint booth, I am deciding if I want to clear coat it, or polish it

[wraith]

I will be watching!

[MOPAR_KID96]

nice color

[martinfan5]

I like this color as well, I am waiting for the donar kit to get here before I can do anything else at the moment.

[Deathgoblin]

Love the color on this. Which kit is this? Jo-Han?

[martinfan5]

This is the AMT kit, the color really surprised me

[martinfan5]

Well the vipor donar kit finally showed, and after spending all night working on it, this is what I got done

all the time was spent on trying to get the viper running gear to mount on the RR chassis, didnt work out very well, but I have an idea now on how to get it to work, I think.

[martinfan5]

here is where I am at

Kind of thinking about using the viper steering wheel, but kind of want to use the stock wheel as well, I am not a 100% happy with the front suspension yet, it still needs some work, I want to try and lower it a bit.

[Modlbldr]

Jonathan-

Great job so far. I really like that interior. Nice mix of colors and parts. That front definitely needs lowered a bit. The build is looking good so far.

One question though. What are thos white wheels in the photo from? They look like some that I need for a build.

Later-

[diymirage]

it would look good sitting a little lower

but keep in mind that you want to still be able to steer, dont drop the body so far the wheels cant move within the wheelwells

so far....looking good

almost needs a superbird wing

[Bartster]

This is very encouraging. I have a similar project in the planning stages involving new Challenger running gear + an older Plymouth. The color is perfect! I would go with the RR steering wheel.....unless you could graft part of the Viper dash (guages) to the RR dash? Yes, go with a wing as well! Lower would be nice. It looks awesome no matter where you go with it!!

[martinfan5]

Back to working on this one, I have managed to get the front lowered a little bit more, but I am thinking of not using the viper wheels/tires , not sure.

Tom the white wheels you saw in the pic are from revells C5 corvette kit that just was released. I dont know if I want to put a wing on it, I am trying to keep it to a sleeper look, which I know if I keep the viper wheels that goes out the window

[Hiusken33]

looking good my friend

[Mopar - D]

Kennth I would go with a set of 18" steelies for the true sleeper look on a road runner.

[martinfan5]

I have been thinking about using steelies, the only set I have are from AMT's moncao kit, the deep ones.

Here is a little bit more of what I have got done

And the steering wheel is in now

[martinfan5]

Here it is with some steelies, I think it looks so much better

[imatt88]

Sweet job! I'm looking for a set of those rims as well
