MPC '69 Charger

[JJ Deuce]

I didn't post many of the WIP photos, but here is a completed '69 Charger.  I started with an original 1979 issue DOH kit, attempting to build a replica of a model my dad built for me around 1980 or 81.  I have another original kit I'm going to build to go with it, in pretty much the same color scheme, but in the style I build now. Thanks for looking.

Wow! One of them that survived! Nice Work!

Nice work on an awful kit. The front looks like the torsion bars have snapped. I had the same issue with the MPC Charger too, the two axle positions made the car sit either too high or too low.

Thanks.  Yes it’s admittedly an awful kit.  I’ve built several of them and will probably build several more, though.  ?

[doorsovdoon]

haha, yeah, same! I bought another too, for how bad it is I actually really enjoyed building it. Even with the fit issues they do look good.

Such a great kit, I built mine many years ago, and rebuilt it last year! LoL

I think you've done a real nice job on this one, JJ!

Looks like the Charger 500 body in that kit....?
