Hello guys! I just got this one out of storage and finished her up today. It is a 1970, yes, you heard right, a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. I used the conversion kit from Time Machine Resins and I grabbed the far superior chassis and drivetrain from an extra AMT '69 GTX I had laying around. The car is riding on a set of the Keesly-Hayes "Recall" Mags from on of the Cuda's that either AMT or MPC put out, and the air cleaner came from the Model Car Garage. The bumpers are chromed using Alclad II, and for my first attempt I'd say them came out good! They are far shinier than the pics show. The Revell '68 Charger kit donated the heater hoses, brake-booster/master cylinder, headers, wiper motor, and the windshield washer fluid bottle. The dash, steering wheel, center console, and shifter were borrowed from an old General Lee kit I had. Anywho, on to the pics!

Nice. BMF would be far better on the chrome. Love your avatar, the Enterprise from the stillborn Star Trek series that was to be done in the late 70's that became Star Trek The Motion Picture.

Brandon very nice 70 Charger what paint did you use. I'm currently building the same year Charger mine is a Freeman resin body how did you like the resin body from Time Machine Resin. I'm using a Revell 69 Charger as my donor you can see it in the On the Bench section.

Dan, I used Testors Gloss Custom Red Metal Flake #1629 on the Charger. I really liked the TMR body, it's really clean and the trim lines are nice and crisp, but on the downside, the resin gets a little thick near the bottom of the doors, and either the master body had a chipped gas cap, or it was just my copy, but nonetheless, my copy had a chipped gas cap. Other than that, it's a really nice casting.
