Deathgoblin Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Love the color on this. Which kit is this? Jo-Han? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 This is the AMT kit, the color really surprised me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 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 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 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 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 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.

diymirage Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartster Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Kennth I would go with a set of 18" steelies for the true sleeper look on a road runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
