Revell 1968 Dodge Charger

This kit was a gift. Not a fan of the 68, prefer a 69. (Keep it clean). Just shows how taillights can seem to change the whole appeal to the rear.
Trying a bit of modifying. I wanted the drag version sitting low with stock wheels. I used the blocks that rise the rear as lowering blocks, roughly 3.5mm. Cut front stub axles glued 2mm lower.

Went to fit rear stock wheel center, but drag wheels are bigger diameter rims. So I've cut the centers out of the drag rims. And cut the rim off the stock wheel. Turns out the stock center fits nice on the inner wheel, giving a deeper dish. Also added throttle shafts and  fuel lines.

G'day there Stuart... 
Looking fine so far mate, nice work.  Just don't "General Lee" it!!! (but then "The General" was a '69).
I look forward to seeing this Mopar in the Showroom...

General Lee speaking I shouldn't use a confederate flag. I'm painting in auto acrylic, got left over paint from a valiant job. It's going Sundance yellow.

Finally got some time to make progress. Not much, basic black inside. Bit of paint on the engine.

The Hemi is looking good,and you have the car sitting well. Looking forward to colour.

A nice clean build so far Stuart, very nicely done.

General Lee speaking....  That's so funny.   Stuart, I'm thinking the yellow will make this girl shine!...

Little bit of progress. Made up throttle linkages and springs. Still haven't figured out a convincing dizzy yet. They end up being to big, or distorted if correct size.

this one is made by "The Parts Box" they are pre drilled resin, you have to provide your own wires (also available from "The Parts Box")

Thanks. I'll check it out. I still want to master a home built one, I've spent to much time and losing interest. Just wanna get this kit done.

Sorry...I'm in one of my humor moods.... Nice work so far!.

Hey guys. Thanks for the info, Jezza I love the humor. I've done a bit more. Wish I could turn them out like you guys do.

No need to wish my friend... this car , so far is looking real good and looking just as good
to many other builds on this forum. Keep up the passion Stuart.
