1970 Dodge Challenger T/A

[ModelcarJR]

This is an old Monogram kit that has been rolling around in the closet for years. I finally got it out and finished it although It had some missing parts that I must have borrowed over the years. I painted it Dupli-Color Flash Red and the interior was painted with an old can of WalMart Fire Red, a little darker color red. I added a horn button to the steering wheel and a turn signal indicator lever to the column.  The taillight panel was scratched from parts box 69 Camaro taillights. Plastic strip was added in the middle for the Dodge decal. Added plug wires and heater hoses to the 340 six pack engine. Wheels, hubcaps with decals, and decals for the tires are from Fireball Modelworks.  the exterior decals are from the kit and were hard to apply and wanted to fold under since they have been in an unwrapped box for years.  Everything went together well although the hubs had to be added to fit the wheelbacks and the taillights took a little bit of thought and work too. All in all, I think it came out pretty well. Thanks for looking! ?

Very sharp John. I'm like you; no build is ever stock because I keep stealing from one kit to build another!  

[Yeah Nah]

Great looking Challenger John!

Very nice.  Reminds me of the first car model I ever tried to do as an adult.  It was a red T/A too.

Great looking paint and body trim. The engine detailing is well done and like the painted steel wheels.

Red on red is a good look on this but I'm not a big fan of the factory steelies. Your workmanship is always top notch, well done John. 

Cheers,
