The Dodge Charger also known as Dodge Charger (B-body) is a mid-size automobile that was produced by Dodge from 1966 to 1978, and was based on the Chrysler B platform.
The 1969 model year brought few modifications. Exterior changes included a new grille with a center divider and new longitudinal taillights, both designed by Harvey J. Winn. A new trim line called the Special Edition (SE) was added. This could be available by itself or together with the R/T, thus making an R/T-SE. The SE added leather inserts to the front seats only, chrome rocker moldings, a wood grain steering wheel, and wood grain inserts on the instrument panel. A sunroof was added to the option list, but was ordered on only 260 Chargers. The bumble bee stripes returned as well, but were changed slightly. Instead of four stripes, it now consisted of a wide stripe framed by two smaller stripes. In the middle of the stripe, an R/T cutout was placed. If the stripe was deleted, a metal R/T emblem was placed where the R/T cutout was. Total production was around 89,199 units.
There were two different 383 engines available for the 1969 model year: 2-barrel and 4-barrel. The 2-barrel was rated at 290 hp. The four barrel engine was rated at 330 hp and was identified on the air cleaner as "383 / FOUR BARREL". The 330-hp engine was unique to the Charger model in 1969. While this engine was available with an un-silenced air cleaner option, it differed internally from the 335-hp 383 "Magnum". Differences between the 330-hp 383 4-barrel and 335-hp 383 magnum were mostly internal. Both versions used the Carter AVS carb and the larger exhaust manifolds from the 440 Magnum engines, but the Magnum had a windage tray in the oil pan, a different camshaft profile, and different valve springs. In 1969 the B-series engines were all painted Chrysler Engine Turquoise with the exception of the 4-barrel 383 four speed and 440 Magnum engines which were painted Chrysler "High-Performance Orange". As usual, the 426 Hemi was painted "Street Hemi Orange". The 383 Magnum motor was used in Road Runners and Super Bees, but did not appear in a Charger body until 1971.
Bo & Luke Duke popularized the 1969 Charger in The Dukes of Hazzard
The television series The Dukes of Hazzard (1979-1985).
Funny Car is a type of drag racing vehicle and a specific racing class in organized drag racing. Funny cars are characterized by having tilt-up fiberglass or carbon fiber automotive bodies over a custom-fabricated chassis, giving them an appearance vaguely approximating manufacturers' showroom models. They also have the engine placed in front of the driver, as opposed to dragsters, which place it behind the driver.
In the 1970s, then current models such as the Chevrolet Vega or Plymouth Barracuda were often represented as funny cars, and the bodies represented the Big Three of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler.[2] Currently, four manufacturers are represented in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Funny Car - Chevrolet with the Camaro,[3] Dodge with the Charger,[4] Ford with the Mustang,[5] and Toyota with the Camry.
I made a Funny car model as a Kid a loooong time ago. I experimented with spray paint. Front was Yellow faded to Orange and then to Red. Modeling is getting one to be creative to matter what the results other than to have Fun.
You have to try that with an airbrush sometime. It looks fantastic
Nice job on a very nice kit. That is a funny car I want after watching this video. Thanks for sharing.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Great job
Merry Christmas!
I've never seen one of these funny car kits that didn't need some modification for the correct stance and body fit , even on 1/16 kits with rear axle mounts and such, but look much more realistic when the effort is made.
That's the whole point for me, the challenge of figuring out how to lower your stance or build your fantasy version. Right now I'm building the "color me gone" kit 90's edition and it is missing a few parts and there was some damage to repair. For my return to the hobby, I'm having a blast.

WISHING EVERYONE A VERY SAFE AND MERRY CHRISTMAS OR HAPPY HOLIDAYS FOR THOSE WHO DON'T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS. Everyone remember to SMILE it's a hobby and it's suppose to be FUN.
Bought multiple of this series when they first came out about 20 years ago. There were i think 4 including the Hawaiian. They're reissuing these again?
I’ve been inspired by watching your channel I’m back in scale modeling again after years away..
"Just have fun." I love it. Months ago I built a model of the original Enterprise, painted it red and black and decked it out with leftover NASCAR decals. 🤣😂
Remembering seeing this car at the shop! Went to school with Kenny the drivers son. Had the shop out in Bridgeview IL. Could see the grey building off of 294. Great Times! I was in 5th grade at the time.
The windshield may be hydraulicing out of the groove. Try thinner glue?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year To You and All Yours n God Bless All !!
CAN YOU SAY KICK AZZZZ!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THESE KITS.......... Thank you very much for sharing this build great job it looks soo awesome brother.

Wishing you and your love ones a very safe and Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.
Do you know if the MPC 1/20 McLaren Mk8D Can Am kit will be re issued?
I remember I had this one and then I built Cop Out ... They looked mean together. I wish I still had those...
Merry Christmas
So cool. I have a picture of Gary Dyer doing a burnout in this car autographed by Mr. Norm. I met him at Moparfest a number of years ago.
bought some speed parts from grand Spaulding dodge many moons ago for my 1966 coronet 500 and my 1970 barracuda . when I lived in chi town .
Also have two of these kits signed!
Mr. Norm and Kenny Sr.
Yup, got this orig. issue PL kit sealed cellophane signed on front. Considering it unbuildable, unless I cut along the lid opening - IDK
Can t tell you what the fit pro lem is, Chris -- I can't see how you did anything wrong. The body sits too high off the chassis -- should be snugged down right over the tires. But the blower scoop is up tight against its metal panel so no spare space there. And that windshield . . .
Build the chassis, build the body, paint it all, then fit it together. But it's too late to find the trouble.
I would build the basic chassis then the body and ensure it fits properly. Then adding the driver's compartment, engine, and accessories while adjusting everything should eliminate the proble.
It's a great kit. I think changing the assembly order and constantly trial fitting should make it fit better.
Cheers!
im building this one now......that chassis is "fiddly" and thank you for showing how that rear bulkhead goes in and how the interior panels all go together....the instruction are very unclear on that as you stated....edit: also, the electrical tape tip for the blower belt is genious....mine snapped trying to stretch it around the pulley system and actually the tape looks better I think....thank you.
Greetings, I watched this build several times since I am working on this kit. I have a question for you regarding the motor. Did you encounter the oil pan over extending the length of the motor? In my kit the oil pan seems like it is to big length wise for the motor. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you for your time and consideration.
i thinking about building models again... is there anyway where you can post what all is needed to help build? such as paint , glue white lettering for the tires... last time i built a model i used "testors" glue.. ty...
You.TH-cam's that have channels need to fig out how to post pictures on the messages???? Or is it they don't let you???
Did you see what's going on in Walmart they're selling model car kits
Oh come on man.... That's totally the wrong colour you should have not used that colour.... Your towel should have been butterscotch not brown.
Awesome build as always man 😎
You're right! Totally ruined! LOL
I can't wait to get this kit! Merry Christmas!
Beautiful car, always wanted to get one and now with his new release I can get it quickly, thanks for sharing
Another nice looking kit Chris. When I left school in the mid 70s, I wanted to be an automotive engineer but noone knew how to guide me. So now when I build these kits (and trucks etc) I do it like the prototype and really enjoy the build
I remember this car. Dodge made a 21st century Grand Spaulding Dodge, Mr. Norm Charger. Norm's son did a video showcasing the new street version.
Do you build for other people I built a lot but my hands are too shaky now
Chris and friends, I am struggling to scratch build headers from plastistruct rod. Anybody with a good technique would be appreciated.
Try a modelroad shop for a miniature tube bending kit to prevent.kinking. Also, when you're doing it heat the tubing in hot tap water to make it more flexible.
why dont you try the amt 67 gt350 kit, i did it my self and found it pretty fun to build.
Just like the real ones, it blew off a blower belt. POW 🤣🤣🤣
What a great kit even if you don't build it you get lots of really cool parts. You done a great job building it.
try canopy glue on the windshield
Using tape to make belts is a nice detailing touch!
I think so too!
I remember hearing about Mr Norm’s muscle drag cars. WLS would say Mr Norm’s Grand Spaulding Dodge hype for drag racing events that weekend. Didn’t Mr Norm also have “The Little Red Wagon”?
LRW was Bill Maverick.
Does anyone reproduce the soft rear slicks for the 1/16th funny cars?
Atlantis sells tires for their 1/16 cars.
1969 dodge challenge car okay 👍
First time for me to see a model that actually has a "real" belt go over the front of the engine. I do like your alternative method. That works. After building several car models where the belts are molded in styrene and which do leave a lot to be desired imho, this is exactly what I would want to see in all car models myself. Why not? I am greatly encouraged by your demo of putting the decals on not to mention the revisit of the future floor polish not messing with the windows when you paint it over them. Personally I've been a little wary of that but as you've demonstrated it works out just fine. Very cool and as always, nice work. Have a nice Christmas and New years celebration. I think Santa is bringing me some nice kits to build this year.... even though I haven't been all that good. Just not naughty hehe. Meng 1/24 Ford GT40 here I come.... yeah, I peaked... Merry Christmas!
One more thing don't lose the background music . I like to watch the building and listening to the music !
Bubba's Favorites Gophers Racing Decals gives you all of the General Lee Decals
Remember that a funny car body is not made to stock dimensions, particularly in width.
Looks great Chris. Thanks for sharing.
sorry not 68 but 70 front grill
Love the Charger. Where do you put all of the cars when they are finished?
Nice build as always my friend!! But I got a question... the box art shows the dash area totally different from the model or did I miss something in your build?
If I may put in my two cents. Some funny cars of that era did not use the air scoop but just an air tunnel opening in the windshield, some as the box art shows, not only didn't use the blower scoop but didn't even have an opening in the windshield. If you look at late 60's funny cars, you'll see examples. I don't know why, you'd have to ask a vintage funny car expert. The body front is not sitting down enough on the finished model and it appears the scoop may be the culprit.
Nice , Merry Christmas
Sorry. Gary Dyer! Not Mr. Norm
ooooo this is nice I might get it
Great idea with the electrical tape. Good video as always. Thx for the hard work on these segments. It’s a lot more work than many realize. Have a wonderful, safe holiday!
Happy holidays 👍👍
Supeb job Chris, I love the way the printed decals slide off in blocks so you dont have to faff around lining them all up. I noted on this re-issue the tyres are printed so will wait for them to arrive in Europe. Really enjoying these funny car builds. 😎
Thanks, appreciated!
Absolutely awesome!
Very nice Bill Chris you got to love the chargers 👍👍
With the body up that's the money shot great build awesome job
I have a 70 Mean Maverick model with the 427 sohc engine I built in 1970
Beautiful work as always mate, having a chilled Sunday here catching up on your videos ☺️👍
Thanks for the visit!
Looks Great. Merry Christmas Chris!
You sure sound like Steve Magnante.
Book 'em, Dano. 😀
Great looking car - thanks for the build.
Great build! Did you solve the windshield problem?
Merry Christmas 🎄and Happy New Year!
I taped it in place later while the glue dried.
@@hpiguy that was the idea I had when you mentioned it. Had a Nascar kit that wouldn't take the windshield.
I'm wondering why you paint floor polish over models
Hey, I was wonder if you could help me. Got a guy wanting to sell me some Polar Lights kits. The Big John Funny Car, Mr Norms and Candies n Hughes FC... I never bought a Polar Lights kit... are they worth buying? Thanks
Polar Lights are just fine, Round2 owns all those molds now and reissues them from time to time.
No one seems to show how the front end goes together - Its the worst part of the instructions.
hpiguys Workshop Another amazing building Chris You always do awesome builds..I will most Definitely be waiting for some Cars or Model planes Or Funny Cars..You and your family Have a Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year ❄⛄🎄🎇
Great job Chris, as always bud! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you and yours!
👍👍👍
I love your videos and mentality towards having fun building models. But everytime I hear Puertorican music on your videos it brings a big smile. Keep up the great work
sorry not 68 but 70 front grill
What do you use to clean your brush after using the future floor polish? I got some to use and I don’t want to use it until I find what would work to clean the brush
Water
A soak in Simple Green or dish soap, etc all works just fine.
@@hpiguy alright thank you
Awesome. I learn something new with every post. Merry Christmas 🎅. Appreciate you
Happy holidays 👍👍
Excellent craftsmanship and detail Chris! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Wish they would come out with Mr. Norms Mini Charger!
As usual, a superb build Chris. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I love this kit, everything went together straight forward.
As always nice job Chris! Thanks for you efforts, great looking model and nice decal demo. Have a very Merry Christmas! A pleasure to watch!!!
Heck Chris another great build looks good my friend
I love to get me one of these
I know the White strip is the way it came and the way it was ran but I personally my opinion is the one thing that throws it off I will try on mine to see if it would fit across the back across the trunk and quarter panels but man your model skills are BADASS KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
Outstanding as usual can't wait to pick this one up. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ✌🇨🇦✌☃️🎄
Awesome job, another must have keep them coming. Wishing you a happy Christmas see you next year 🇦🇺💩
