Name of modeler: Dave Zinn
Kit/Scale:
Monogram Challenger T/A in 1/24
Inspiration:
In the builders own words “This build from the very start was to
replicate a T/A you may find for sale on E-bay or in a magazine like Mopar collectors guide. I wanted the car to look like it
had one heck
of a life, with lots of stories to tell.”
Modifications:
Engine is finished to look like a later 360 w/old school
tunnel ram intake, dual Holley's and some swap meet gold anodized velocity
stacks. Details: plugs wires, plumbing and extensive detailing.
Special
Features:
Lowered front end and some negative camber to give the
appearance of a very worn out suspension, extensive weather/rust
techniques were used to tell the car story “at one point it was wrecked
on the passenger side, so a junkyard Challenger donated most of it's front
clip and a door to our poor T/A.”
Final
Thoughts:
This is a model of a Challenger T/A that has been through the
ringer, more than a few times, but still has the potential with a loving
new owner to be what it once was. the inspiration for this build was a
love of Mopar muscle and the wish to be lucky enough to find a deal like
this one day.
Thank
you, Dave for building a great
looking if not well used T/A. All
muscle cars did not live a sheltered life.
