• WHAT'S IN THE BOX..... PIX and thanks for looking
  • The grill and headlights look like they were updated to be just right. Thanks for posting. I'm waiting for the hdtp to come out. *NM*
    • All the parts have very nice part fitments with gaps at virtually nothing. *NM*
  • Looks good. For the second hood with the hole - does the kit have a blower or tunnel ram option?
    • Box art side panel shows an injected racing 440 Magnum. *NM*
      • Thanks - I see.now. That would be interesting showing through the hood :-) *NM* *PIC*
    • Come with injectors and has two hood scoops, a clear one and two solid ones *NM*
  • Thanks for sharing Frank! - FWIW-Mecum has one listed in B5, with some great detail pictures. May be an older auction, but the pics are greats. *NM*
    • I don't mind convertibles but try to stay away from older ones, this one like the Olds has really nice engraving and detail. The older kits only had a hint of details. I both two of these I may even try whacking a roof off an extra body of 68-70 MoPar's. *NM*
      • I'm just lazy :-) Convertibles require a lot of extra work to make the interiors look good (and rightly so). That's the first place anyone is going to look when you build one. *PIC*
  • Have you tested the fit of the 'new tool' R2 B-Body chassis yet? Been hoarding er, collecting a few for projects like this
    • Yeaaah, but I found out getting the locating pins set in the hole is a bit finicky but once in it fits like a glove. *NM*
    • IMO, other than front suspension I think the Coronet unit is actually better *NM*
  • Thanks Frank!! *NM*
  • Thanks for posting those Frank. Here some build tips ...
    • Thanks Steve will do. *NM*
  • Still has a very poor "MPC" 440 motor. Use the big block from a Revell kit like the '68-'69 Darts for something a lot better/accurate. *NM*
    • I think the main problem with all MPC 440 engines is the fact they molded the intake and lifter valley together which gives it a flattened look. Revell molded these in two parts so it is much more realistic. Here is a pic of a 69 Charger I built with the 440 (PIC)
      • MPC has incorrect valve covers and those optional headers and injector manifold are designed for a Hemi (with the equal port spacing) , I believe. *NM*
  • I believe 3D scale parts is offering the uptop for this kit. *NM*
    • Thanks Curtis I just ordered 2. *NM*
