michelle Posted June 17, 2023 Posted June 17, 2023 this is the old mpc ertl kit I got in a trade I had a lot of issues with this kit the turbo charged 4 cylinder engine does not fit right in the engine bay or chassis the wheel backs do not fit right on the suspension wheel hookups the chassis does not fit right with the body which also makes the hood not fully sit right with engine if it is aligned to fit better I painted the body two tone orange the lower trim and center of the hood is testors extreme lacquer firey orange and the rest of the body and hood is rust-oleum 2x gloss real orange I hand painted the interior with a paint brush apple barrel multi surface satin classic caramel acrylic craft paint I have a song that came out in 84 playing in the background of the video it is one of the hand full of 80’s songs I like most of which are Elton John songs but the song playing in the video is one of the few that are not his 10

Rattlecan Dan Posted June 18, 2023 Posted June 18, 2023 Sounds like this one was a real pain. But the color is nice. I like a lot of the Elton John songs. Not big on Boy George though. Lol. Nice job on the little Charger.

Thank you I would have had a Elton song played in the background but I figured much like with the Beatles and John Lennon song being fully blocked on YouTube Elton’s music would be fully blocked on YouTube also the other 80’s music I like would not have worked as it is movie theme music Edited June 18, 2023 by michelle

ncbuckeye67 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Very nice. Especially the paint! I used to get a ride home from a restaurant I worked at in high school, in a Shelby Charger that one of the waitresses owned.
