Sam I Am Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 This is the AMT kit with decals and exhaust from the Monogram kit and keystones from the parts box. Built loosely after a car a kid in my high school had. I sanded down the vinyl top and gave it an aftermarket flat resin hood.
'70 Grande Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Well done! This kit has some issues, and frequently, when built, looks a little "off" to my eyes, but your build looks very good and doesn't have that "off-look-symptom to it! Takes me back to the 1970's... nice job!

72 Charger Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Great looking Challenger Sam nice work. I wanted to build this kit but I have always thought the side of the roof rain gutter was to curved. So I would have to chop up the roof to try to correct it.

I wanted to build this kit but I have always thought the side of the roof rain gutter was to curved. So I would have to chop up the roof to try to correct it. I wonder if its because you can build it as a hardtop or convertible and the roof is molded separately, that it gives that appearance. Thanks everyone. I have the Monogram also, but personally prefer the AMT. I gave this model to a friend and plan on building another one for myself.
Snake45 Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Very, VERY cool! Would easily qualify for membership in my imaginary late '70s-early '80s car club, The Retrobates. Well done and model on!
BigTallDad Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Very nicely done and just the right number of pictures.
Hmann68 Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Good looking Challenger and nice color combo too!
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 Great work! What paint did you use? I like the color!
