OK SO I cheated on that last one, the GTX ragtop started as a Hardtop and I converted it into a drop top. It is the car from the TV show Angel.

This Charger has served as a prototype for Mike Musto's Mr Angry. IT is also my "lottery car" as in if I EVER won the lottery or money was no object THIS is the car I would build for me, Supercharged, Injected Hemi and all!!!!!

Very nice work on those models there. You've got a knack for detail.   :2thumbs:

Great work, I love the Daytona, awesome color.  That reminds me I built a 69 Charger model back in the 80's the same color as my car is now, I have to go in the attic and dig it out, I keep all my models in a case.  I had all the mopar and GM cars of the sixties and seventies as a kid, and dust ruined them so I threw them out.  In the 80's when I got the building bug I made sure they were in cased before I stored them, time to dig em out. :2thumbs:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Nice job, I loved the DMCL Charger, No DOH car?

What?!?!??!?  What you talkin' bout 41 !??!?!?!?!?!  I have the General in 1/25 scale AND 1/16 scale. the 1/16 car was restored from a rough built up kit I scored on Ebay. The one with the truck is the 1/25 car and the one with the REALLY shiny paint is the 1/16 scale one.

The new sealed 1/16 scale cars are well north of 100 bucks now, so I AIN'T buying one of those to build!

here are a my two favorite Nascar Stock cars ever......

Thank You everybody!!! I appreciate the kind words.

The Daytona was inspired by a really great builder named Bill Geary, I had a couple of these stashed back, and wanted to build one, and Geary is an INCREDIBLE modeler.

His is the SAME kit, but the doors open and close and the HEADLIGHTS come up.

Yep, Bill is crazy!

I just wanted a color combo that I had never seen on the model before. Thus the gold, (I had a 69 Charger R/T that color once) and then the saddle interior.

The DMCL Charger is because that is my favorite TV/Movie car EVER!!!!

These things are very enjoyable for me and very good therapy if I have a really bad day.

Thanks for checking them out!

Cody I'm 41 and been building since I was about 8!!!  YOU Can build anything you want!  The real trick is not to beat yourself up because you have a flaw or two.

BELIEVE ME when I tell you NOTHING I posted is perfect, NOTHING! They all have their issues and they all have something that aggravates me to no end, but I would have to show most people what it is.

Every time I build a model and it just doesn't come out well, I try to learn what I did wrong and figure out how NOT to do it again. Doesn't always work though!!  :D

If I can help you somehow Pm or email me!


pettyfan43

THANK YOU to everyone for the kind words!!! I DEEPLY appreciate it.

After the past few days I have had, it is nice to hear some kind words! Thanks again!

Awesome work!

I love the garage you put together...I a similar garage kit but I'm making mine into either a paint booth or more of a plain-jane home garage. I have several Charger kits but I haven't started them yet....the last Mopar kit I built is my '57 Chrysler 300C. Right now I have two '71s and a '69 on my shelf along with a TON of other unfinished kits.
