For a Dutch groupbuild I'm building this 1967 Dodge Charger. The theme is muscle car, but I make a pro touring style.

The orginal wheels looks cool, but I'll use some Pegasus Hella's for this car.

The paint will be black. I don't know if I keep the big chrome trim that is on the body.

I use this real charger as my reference as far as possible.

Looks like a good project, the real one looks superb. Personally I would omit the chrome along the wing tops. the Revell kit looks lots better than the amt version I'm doing (still not done any more yet!). I look forward to seeing more progress (you'lll probably finish yours before mine).

First update is a fact!

First I rescribed the panellines. After that I primered the body with Tamiya Grey Primer.

I also decided to use other wheels. These look more custom but still fit a muscle car. The rear tires are fat enough for this car :). The wheels are from a Tamiya Ferrari Mythos.

http://albums.modelbrouwers.nl/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/hemi_006_%28Medium%29.jpg

I also finished the nice Hemi 426 engine. I used a Detail Master wired distributor and I really love that part. It's from turned aluminium and there is also a PE set with cable holders etc.

The valve covers are painted with Scale Fabric paint. So now they have a rough surface.

Engine looks great. I like the wheels. Wide wheels especially at the rear are possible & look cool as the 1:1 stock cars wheels are well inside the arches. You may have to do some suspension surgery though. On my AMT version I have put wide wheels especially at the rear and I even had to mod the basic AMT chassis. Good luck. Looking forward to more.

Today I painted the body with TS-Black.

I hope to add the bmf next week and than I can clearcoat the body.

Paint job looks nice & smooth. Wheels do look well suited but it looks like you need to mod the chassis at the rear to get them to sit nicely under the arches.

it is all just a dryfit. And i don't make it slammed to the ground.

How have I missed this? It looks mean with the black paint and rake.

These wheels look better. The straight lines go with the car better. The most recent set kind of clash with the car. Just my opinion.

Today I did the BMF chrome work. It was a pain in the *ss, cause some trims are very thin, so a mistake is made quickly.

After all I clearcoated the body one time, and added the few decals on the body. Tomorrow I'll clearcoat it another 3 or 4 times.

The interior is also painted already. I painted it Interior Red from Vallejo, but it is more like rust/brown. At least it suits the black paint very well :D

Yesterday I added 3 layers Clear on the body.

Now it can harden for a week, and than it will be polished :)

I also polished the body. After that I glued the windows and addes some chrome parts already.

I'm not a huge fan of those wheels, but they don't look horrible. I would probably have gone with some kind of open "mesh" style like a Volk VS-XX or BBS LM. Or for a more american feel, the use of torque thrusts/torque thrust II or those Halibrands you had originally posted.

Your model, and it looks great, so I say keep up the good work.

Finished the interior today :)

First I painted all parts with Vallejo interior red. It is more brown than red, but I still liked it anyway.

The seats and doorpanels needed a chrome trim, but with BMF it was very difficult, so I decided to use some chrome paint instead. I also drybrushed the charger logo on the doorpanels

http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/albums/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/interieur_002_%28Medium%29~8.jpg

The carpet is Light Buff from Hiroboy, and the back is flocked with Black also from Hiroboy.

http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/albums/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/interieur_003_%28Medium%29~7.jpg

The mid console was painted black and also painted the chrome trim. There were also some areas which needed some Light Buff flocking.

http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/albums/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/interieur_004_%28Medium%29~8.jpg

I painted the dashboard in black, and painted the chrome details. I also drybrushed some parts. A real Muscle car needs a nice Pro Comp rpm tacho, so I used one from Mr. Model. It's a really nice part made from aluminium.

http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/albums/coppermine/albums/userpics/10027/interieur_006_%28Medium%29~8.jpg

Now it was time to put it all together and add some more interiordetails like a donut box, modelkit and a magazine.

The chassis is also done now.

I added some light wheatering and also added some aluminium exhaust tips as well. The wheels were a nightmare to fit but finally I got them glued on.
