Been chopping away at this one for a few weeks now, Monogram 70 Plymouth Road Runner.
BEEP BEEP!!   Dscf5635

Started by getting it low,
mini tubs, and Z'ed the chassis.
BEEP BEEP!!   Dscf5636
BEEP BEEP!!   Dscf5637

Next, a bench seat was not going to work, so i halved it, narrowed it and ended up with buckets with adjustable head rests that now match the rear seat pattern.
BEEP BEEP!!   Dscf5638
BEEP BEEP!!   Dscf5639

Opened up the boot.

BEEP BEEP!!   Dscf5640

Made my own torsion rods with some new brackets because they were touching the floor pan.
BEEP BEEP!!   Dscf5641

Separated the diff from the springs and made some lowering blocks.
BEEP BEEP!!   Dscf5642

And Allan, it's going to be GREEN.  tongue

Thanks guys, Allan,  NO!!  Not frog green.  Laughing 
Put the rear wheel arches back on, instead of being attached to the side of the chassis rail, i put them on top of it,
in effect, moving them inwards, and upwards.

This will be the main color, just with some pearl powders added and some silver for the 2 tone.

The stance is sorted.

Underneath detail is done, brake lines and fuel lines are routed through the chassis and the brakes are off a WRX WRC race car.

Thank you Deaf as and Mutley, Allan, get up off the floor. Smile
The paint is just some Green acrylic with green pearl added on the upper color, and some silver added to the side layers.

Looking great Dale, I just picked on of these up a few weeks ago, this'll give me some ideas for sure.
It's great the way some of these older kits lend themselves to lowering this easy, good work so far mate  bigthumbsup

Thanks very much guys,
that build looks pretty close to being done , and those wheels suit the yellow. I think there is something about these wheels that do look tough yet still modern on this shape. Reckon you should finish it, or send it to me. Smile
