Hi,
Looks like a good project. I don't know anything about this kit - is it an out of the box build or are you adding extra detail or converting it at all?
Cheers,

Jim, it's Revell's standard street version of the 1969 Dodge Charger.
Just about everything has been either modified or scratch built:
Grille from a PL Talladega and modified.
Sratch built roll cage.
Front clip lowered to get the correct stance.
Front arches hogged out.
Flare removed from rear arches.
Side turn lights filled.
Modified front and rear bumpers.
Scratch made rear end cooler from parts box bits and rear end plumbed.
Rear window recess 'plug' scratched to replicate the Charger 500 shell.
After market wheels and tyres.
Rear suspension lowered.
Modified and scratched dashboard.
Race door cards fabricated.
Vinyl roof sanded off and base of B pillar chrome fittings removed.
Original gas cap hole filled and moved to fender side.
Half chassis underhood scratch built.
Stock engine replaced with a Hemi.
Four scratchbuilt rear shockers.
Etc. Etc.
