'71 Dodge Challenger LMS
« on: March 18, 2020, 07:57:27 PM »
Always had a soft spot for the MOPAR cars.
Here's what happened on this one:
Body - MPC Ramchargers funny car (stock appearing body, nothing funny at all)
Interior pan/chassis - 1969 Chevy Chevelle (Well, the wheelbase matched)
Tires/wheels - AMT NASCAR kit
Slixx decals

Had to make a few things. Windows, dash, roll cage, fuel cell, grill, etc.
(Honestly, it didn't hit me about the color & number being Fireball's too until I had nearly finished)

Think I'm officially "burnt out" on engineering now. On to something without a number on it.........

Nice! Really like the grill and tail and the overall stance is perfect.

Two thumbs up on the Mopar, Hondo! It's obvious to me that you put a lot of build effort into that one.

Excellent clean build. I'm sure a lot of work went into this build.
