Probably the best improvement that you can make is to :

- Separate the exhaust from the (Dana 60) axle , and ;

- Separate the "downpipes" from the exhaust manifolds and glue their ends to the exhaust pipes .

Even though you didn't inquire about the engine ; here's a suggestion : dump those "blobs" that are trying to pass as representations of the Holley 2300's , and replace them with the carbs from either the 1971 GTX , or the carbs from the AMT 1971 Duster 340 .

Seems to me if you want to do some "stretching and shaping", one could use the chassis out of the Round 2 reissued '68 Roadrunner, and '70 Super Bee. Or perhaps the '68-9 Revell Dodge Charger kits.

Now true these are 1/25 scale, but you can't beat the detail these have to offer.

Just my 2ยข. ;)

What about the 69 Superbee?

It's very similar to the 1/24 GTX kit's chassis. Ditto for the other Monogram 1/24 musclecars, such as the '70 Superbird, '70 Challenger T/A, '70 Chevelle/Malibu SS, '78 T/A, etc.

For a better starting point, start with a 1/25 scale JO-HAN '70 Roadrunner body, and the AMT '68-'70 B-bodies' chassis, suspension, and engine, or use some of the Revell 1/25 '68-9 Charger parts.
