71 Roadrunner

[yellowsportwagon]

This a rebuilder of an original issue kit. Added a few parts from a newer release to replace missing stuff. Chrome color I made and wheels From EBay.

Yep!! Painted him as best as my old eyes could manage! That’s when I realized how far off center he was molded?

That is a wicked looking Road Runner Tim! I'm usually not a fan of the over the top colors. But, with the wheels it has on it, it works perfect! Nice work!

This color is near impossible to photograph. It has a super cool green pearl over the base color. Yet it doesn’t hardly show on a picture. It kind shows here

You nailed the stance. This is my favorite of the "Fuselage" era bodies.

I agree this and a 70 Challenger are about the only Mopars I would love to own.

The 71 Roadrunner looks Bitchin with the black and green color scheme.  ?

Kinda hard to see but I gave it the customary 70s green vinyl interior.

My BFF in the Navy had a 70 Challenger R/T SE. I got to drive it a few times. It was pretty quick.

The color is really eye catching. Some finishes are hard to photograph compared to seeing them in person. Very smooth looking finishes.
