Started more than 10 years ago and now back on the bench due to lock-down (Thanks Covid) I'm not sure if this is of any interest to anybody here but maybe just an idea of how OCD an auto mechanic building a model car can get.
This, (if ever completed) will be a model of a car I bought from a scrap yard and restored/ re-powered with a Plymouth 440 CID 6- pack carburetor intake, auto trans. back around 1983. The model has taken substantially more time to build than the real car. I no longer have the real one (divorce expenses) but with the shape of our environment now I wouldn't want to drive it anymore anyway. So, this will give me a chance to have my 74 Charger again.
OK. Some images...if this works. The kits in use; top body a Nascar stock car 74 Charger (wont work) middle body (the body in use here) with the door vents filled and rear windows re-shaped (the bottom body for parts)
the kits I'm using;
because I've re-shaped the windows the interior sail panels need to be re designed as well
That work in progress
The AMT 71 Charger (the one on the right) has a nice interior that fits very well...but wrong for my car. Mine had an interior from a 74 Plymouth Road Runner, white vinyl and plaid cloth. Daisy Duke's Plymouth Road Runner used for those parts (the one on the left) but because it's a different kit, it has to be modified (widened) to fit.
I had the shifter console from that car as well.
Most car models I've seen have the seats glued to the floor, they should have a seat mount frame...not strictly accurate here but the jist is there, adjusting handle and tilt button on the back rest.
Thanks for stopping by (helpful comments welcome)
