1969 Dodge Charger Project Car

Kit: MPC ERTL General Lee, spare parts  1/24 Scale

After many years of making Chargers and General Lees I had a few kits and parts left over. I always see cars on eBay or whatever that have fallen through many owners’ hands over the years, done this or that with it, let it sit in a field for 10 years and then passed on. I always wanted to do a car that reflected that kind of abuse.

So this car has all the signs of neglect and progress at the same time. Thrashed paint, heavy rust, couple of bullet holes (passenger side behind the door), replaced and primered fenders, mismatched hood and doors, ratty interior, and of course brand new wheels with mismatched tires.

Filthy but not destroyed underneath. She’ll come back around.

Interior has seen better days. “It’s all there, though.”

Shredded headliner – make sure you check for mice!

It’s got an engine.. can’t remember what kind.. my buddy redid it and bored it over. Yep. No miles on it since it’s been done though. No the transmission doesn’t come with the car. Or the wheels.

Oh, that? that’s just surface rust. Don’t you worry about that. No low-ballers.. I know what I have.
