Looks good Matt! Did you have any problems with the kit?
The stance looks very good, did you have to fiddle around to get it to sit right?

Kit went together great - only struggle for me was figuring out which parts to use on this build because the kits come with so many options. All the extra parts is a good thing but for some one that doesn't know much about Dodge race cars it was a challenge.

For the stance I left the lowering block off of the rear to keep the rear end higher. It should still be a little higher based on the reference photo I used.

Love your Charger, Matt. I would love to see it in person even more! Interested in attending the RPM Model Car Show on the 23rd? I'll send you a PM.

Beautiful and clean build, Matt. I agree with all the previous comments. What paint and primer did you use to make it look so right?

Fantastic build of yours. Great looking colour scheme.

These muscle car stockers, am just learning of them (from UK). Am tempted to buy a kit.

Stunning build Matt, and lovely photography. What paint is that yellow? It just looks 'right'.

Sorry but this one was built awhile ago and I'm horrible at keeping details about the paint used. More that likely it was simply the brightest yellow I could find over a white primer.
