Scottnkat Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 My Roadrunner is done. Just to summarize, I used many of the parts from the Monogram '71 Roadrunner kit. The 426 Hemi engine came from the MPC '70 Coronet Super Bee. The rollcage, seat, window net, dashboard, rear end cooler, fire extinguisher, shock absorbers, and firewall were all handmade. The tires and wheels were resin copies. The hood was a resin copy of the GTX hood, but the large bump in the middle was sanded down to make it level with the rest of the hood. The decals were from Slixx. Here's the pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottnkat Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Thank you for the comments, guys - I had four builds going on at once, so it took me a little while to get this one done. I think I'm going to keep it to two builds at a time from now on - it just takes too long with four of them at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Probably my favorite Petty car. I enjoyed the build and you did a great job. It's a beauty. Are those wheels the right scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottnkat Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks for the comments, guys. I really do appreciate it, but I did find a few things that I will change when I make another one (which I am planning on doing later). Mike, the wheels are the correct scale. I had test-fit them and they fit in fine, but when I put the superglue on (both wheels and tires are resin), they stuck out just a touch. However, superglue dries rather quickly so I couldn't quite get them all fixed before they had set. Just one more thing for me to watch out for in the future.
