Check it my new TOY

[Mean 318]

I have some of them big 3rd gen Models in a box, two red and one black. One is all there, the other two would probably make one.

This is my 1/16 scale General Lee.

I rebuilt this one from a ratty built up I got from Ebay.

It was pretty ratty when I got it but with the help of a fellow modeler, who sent me new bumpers and glass, it came out pretty decent.

Nice job pettyfan43.   I had that model when i was a kid.  Threw it out when i had to clean my room before i moved out of my parents house.  Then at a car show a couple years ago i found an original one still in the box and in the plastic for $20!!!  What a deal!  I still have it but dont know if i want to put it together though, then it wont be NOS anymore. 

Man if you got that thing within the last ten years for 20 bucks you absolutely stole that baby! The reason I restored a builtup was because they are so expensive now!

Thank you for the compliments on the build/rebuild.

Here it is.    Ya now that i think about it i bought this model at Jefferson, WI about 1997 or 1998.  Gosh was that 10 years ago already?  Man i'm getting old..

Heh, I've got one of those too. I put it together when I was 16 or so, sooo...don't shoot me for all the purty colors.
I didn't want to go the whole GL route at the time, but I kept the decal set in case I changed my mind. I did put the push bar on though, but it fell off a couple years ago & I haven't glued it back on.
White seats & door panels. I was gonna paint the window trim chrome, but I was afraid I'd permanently screw it up, so I left it alone.



I was bummed the car didn't have the flip-top gas cap, but it did have a nice chrome cap over the fuel cell. Problem is that you can't see it with the trunk lid permanently closed...so I got a cherry red razor blade & opened it!
I also tinted the back window with actual window tint.



This model kit had a very detailed engine bay for the time.



Told ya, purty colors. Damned kids.

I wasn't going the GL route with mine either, I was building a replica of a car I owned at the time.  Like you though, I think all the GL stuff is still in the box with the partially completed model.
