Here is one I have had awile. A Modelhaus resin 1971 Challenger RT. This one has been a challenge so far. I'm using the AMT kit for it's engine comp and chassis. This one will have a Hemi and a stick. The interior is set up for auto so I'm going to fix that. Also need to remove the A/c vents from the dash.   Here is the biggest hurdle. Getting the engine comp to fit and still use the chrome grill items. Most of the grill will now be installed from the front instead of the rear. The 73 MPC kit is also pictued and will be pretty much the same way.  All the reengineering is pretty much done. I hope to have all these Challengers done soon. I also have two more MPC Challengers, a 72 and another 73. I need 74 Bumpers to make a 74. Here is some more shots of the 73.   |

Well time for some updates. The body is almost done. I have a few things to finish. I need to get the glass installed so I can assemble the chassis and interior tub.    The interior is done. I filled in the AC vents and added the pistol grip shifter.  The chassis is ready for install. I added epoxy puddy ti fill in the gaps between the tub and firewall. I also used it to extend the trans tunnel to the rear suspension. When they are fit together the holes are now filled in!!!  |

Thanks Dave. So how about another Challenger!!!! I still have a 72,73 and 74 to build. Plus a 71 Challenger pace car conv, and another 70 Challenger RT conv. I'll be putting those on hold.
In progress is my club theme challenge kit 70 Monte Carlo. Also in progress is the 66 Chevelle wagon, 67 Coronet RT, two Lamborghini Countach's. I have a 68 GTX that I have to finish the grill. 70 Shelby GT 500 conv rebuild, a 68 Super Bee and I just started a Thunderbolt.

Sounds like you will be a busy guy! I am working on my 37 chevy gasser convertible, my 69 Cougar for the kit exchange and my 40 ford street rod. I have a couple other started ones that I need to deside on which one to start working on after these are done....or start a new one.
