Started out as this...

Yes, I know the original MPC model kit was a '72...
but you work with what you have
& I have a '71
Doug cast a few resin '71 hoods, bumper/grills and rear bumpers for me

the trunk and right rear quarter were actual automotive Bondo
which had to be removed
I have a damaged Monogram '70? Dodge Challenger body
I plan to use as a blow-out patch to repair the damage

I figure that when I'm finished with this
ROUND2 will reissue their AMT version of the '71 Dodge Charger
with drag parts and ROD SHOP decals
