Numbers were higher here, units per hour higher there *NM*

The production rate had to be much higher back then. When the DoH came out, they must’ve have been cranking out those kits by the 100’s of thousands. *NM*

The amt or mpc country charger or dukes chargers. Why was the rear valance panel split? They tooled up a new body to make a correct dukes car why not fix that part. *NM*
So the body can be removed from the tool after it is molded. It's that or make it a separate part *NM*
That's almost word for word what I was about to say Mark. '-)) *NM*
They tooled up a new body? I thought the only thing they did was retool the rear window from the incorrect Charger 500 style to the correct tunnel back style. Unfortunately, they screwed it up because it’s still incorrect compared to the original annual/promo. *NM*
Oh I thought they did a new body, that’s why I wondered why they kept that space. Thanks for the info . *NM*
The strangest part is that none of the 1968-70 annual kits on which the Dukes kit was based had a split in the rear valence panel. *NM*
The early kits were made over here, production rate was probably a lot slower which allowed more time for each item to be pulled out of the tool. Tooling wear might enter into it also...look at how many versions were produced...literally millions of kits and promos *NM*
