Tim HeimerThank you Gordon! I'm still fine tuning the heads and intake. I'm content with the other parts.

Tim HeimerWow Mike! Like there weren't enough destroyed making the series! Over 300 chargers! Not to mention a few more trashed in the fast and furious movies, and then the movie " Dirty Marry crazy Larry! No wonder the Chargers cost so much now!

Donald Dickson IIMike...NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! That was NOT nice posting that! LOL
Tim, If you have molds for those parts and are willing to sell some, I would LOVE that dash for mine. 😄
And great work!

Tim HeimerI told Mike( like there wasn't enough chargers totaled on DOH!) over 300! Don since you were the 1st to ask, when I get done I'll PM you. The exhaust side of heads are a smidge off and you'll have to file even with the block for headers to line up under body. I need to make one more dash for the "Dirty Mary crazy Larry" car I intend to do. I'll post pics of how to do the dash. It looks good but not 100% accurate. For stats on this car look up Wikipedia " General Lee Charger", For what it's worth I've already started my 1/16 version with this same kit of Dom's Charger from Fast and furious. 1970 front bumper already made. Blown engine already installed. Movie cars are as hard as military colors, soo many variations, especially when they use any where from 26- 300 cars!

Tim HeimerI've been pondering the thought for hours today until It finally struck me! Why would Don, the infamous airplane guy have a model car to build??? Because the General Lee flew a lot!! I can see it now with wings and a rudder and jet engines out the back! LOL

Donald Dickson IILMAO The first models I built were cars. I have several in my stash. I also have a number of Star Treck and Star Wars kits. AND just got the Warp resin Space 1999 Eagle kit. So I dont do JUST planes.
Well, OK, Since I was about 14 I have done only planes. BUT I DID do cars. And fully intend on it again! LOL

Clifford KeeslerGreat looking General Lee. I am not much of a car guy, but have built the Fast and Furious stuff. I like Don have a boat load of Star Trek and Star Wars stuff, but my wife won't let me build any of it.

19 March 2018, 22:32
Bob Halllet me check my stock,i may have some slixx but i need to double check the scale
19 March 2018, 22:36
Tim HeimerO.k..Now after several days of research on decals I've decided to bite the bullet and buy another kit! And to do something with that kit I needed more resin to make parts for that! So until I get everything this will be put on hold.

Peter HardyAh Ha! A decision! Bleedin' Decals, who would have thought money would solve a problem? Just dig up another 44 gallon drum full of cash in the back yard and spend spend spend!
22 March 2018, 22:25
Tim HeimerNo sheet!!! out of the frying pan and into the fire! I have so much time, money and aggravation into this project that I had to! I've got my black Lab helping me dig the holes in the back yard!
23 March 2018, 00:24
Tim HeimerI ended up getting the decals! So I'm good to go. I need to post pics of the ZZ top car that I've made good progress on as well as finish the General!

Tim HeimerThank you lode. when I went yo that model show a few weeks ago I brought that in to show the guy who makes the cases for me to see and had 3 people who wanted to buy it, especially after I played the sound clip for them.

MunkyslutExcellent work, so much detail & all the more impressive for being mostly scratch built.
Bet it looks incredible on display 😉

Slavo HazuchaVery, very nice - a lot of trouble taken, but for a result not seen every other day 👍 Great details & work on the base and pose
Now the elongated square box clearly calls for 2 more to join it - a mid-flight & landing diorama sections in the future?😉
