Cross Kit General Lee....ish-Completed-12/28

[mustang1989]

Ok folks here's gonna be my entry for this one. I'll start with an MPC General Lee kit which I'll be using bits and pieces from to include decals and the parts necessary to make this a General Lee. I picked this kit up for $10 at the last show I went to in San Antonio back in February:



Most of the build will be from this kit which is a far better offering than the MPC version ever thought about being.



and to put a little bit of a spin on this car to get it to look the way I want it to look I'll be using the wider wheels and tires from the AMT Eckler Corvette kit:

Talk about kit bashing!!

Thanks for following along fellas!

Medic: Man you just kind of have to have alternate means when dealing with that MPC version. I mean …..it looks like a Charger but it leaves ALOT to be desired when compared to the Revell '69 Charger offering. The Revell kit is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the MPC model in terms of accuracy and detail. The only thing I'm really not going to like about using the Revell kit is sanding that beautifully molded vinyl top roof off of it. I really do like these cars and have always wanted to build one in stock R/T form but also have wanted to build a General Lee for a really long time as well. I built the MPC version as a kid and it turned out poorly even back in those days so here's my second shot at it. BTW.....I've already ordered some wider meats for the back of this puppy. Gonna do this one my way.

Here you go Joe, drop this right in there....... (it's the 440 we are putting in the 70 SE/RT Challenger)

I'll be watching this one!
