  • 1969 Dodge Charger was my first ERTL Toy Restoration. I love the details of the old ERTL toys and this project was a nice break from the Tonka Restorations that I normally do on this channel.

    Great job but horrible paint choices. Maybe look at a real charger for inspiration.

      @@CaptOrbit They did make General Lees with that same unit (approx 1/16 scale) and a brown plastic ramp, resembling a mound of dirt with matching tire tracks in it. I've had three of them, including the one from my childhood, but I've never seen a General Lee this size with the pull-back/friction motor. All the ones I've seen just free-wheeled. They also had a rubber-ish push bar on the front. Now I'm interested to find out if they made them with the motor, also.

    One of the best restos so far. I kinda feel sad when you dont black out the chassis on the Tonka restorations, but with the Charger you painted and detailed everything. Was disappointed at first it wasnt going to be a General Lee, but then I saw the purple, no the purple is the right thing to do. Well done, brilliant.
