1972 chrysler by chrysler

[michelle]

this is a Australian Chrysler luxury car
I pulled apart my 73 charger 340 to use to make this car as it had the same roof line as well as other similarities both the 71-74 chargers and the 72 Chrysler by Chrysler had the same wheel base 115 inches long and a similar body length
I cut apart the dash and rearranged it to be a right hand dash I used putty to redo the design of the guages and rest of the instrument panel the air cleaner the back bumper the steering wheel the radio antenna and parts I used to kitbash the taillight panel and used to make the master cylinder and the windshield wipers all came from my parts boxes I used a part from the front of 75 dart body and the section of body between the windshield and hood from a 71 duster body I scratch made the hood the rims came from a amt 64 dodge 330 kit I made the vinyl roof with painters tape and scratch made the new rear window and i used a spare jr salvino's 73 charger grille and used the grille parts cut from the mpc 73 charger 340 grille and used headlights from my parts boxes i also trimmed away the molded in door handels  and lowered the new ones  the front bench seat is a 3d resin printed one from a 70 chrysler 300 3d resin printable kit  i painted the body rust-oleum 2x gloss purple i hand painted the vinyl roof  apple barrel matte jet black acyrlic craft paint using paint brushes  the rest of the detail painting like chrome work on the body and interior i used dead ultra fine tip sharpies dipped in folk Art  metalic silver acrylic craft paint i used dead ultra fin tip sharpies to paint the taillights and the intrument panel and gauges  and the new south wales aka nsw c by c license plates also using different acrylic craft paints 

i have a 70's australian rock song by ted mulry gang playing in the backgroundof the video

Great build of a rare Chrysler, even here in Australia. The 2 door was a limited run so not many of these around. Good job on getting it to look right. Well done Michelle. 

Cheers,

I love the way you’ve put various parts of US Mopars  together and built an Australian one. Must have took some planning. As XYHARRY said in his post, they’re pretty rare, most of them were 4 door versions with the 2 door making up a fraction of all production.

Cheers, Stu.

Nice job! I don't recall ever seeing right hand drive on the U.S. street that much. Aside from an occasional MG or Jag here and there. Good work.
