We will be stocking several aftermarket decals, and some of these are in route to us now. For reference, these are full detail glue kits with engines. The difference between the 1971-72 Generic Charger kits and the 1973 Petty Charger kits is the body. The generic kit does not include decals, but again, we plan on stocking several aftermarket decals to build some absolutely glorious cars from this era. We will be posting the decals at about the same time we open the kits up for ordering. Stay tuned.
The Dodge Charger is a model of automobile marketed by Dodge in various forms over seven generations from 1966 and today.
The first Charger was a show car in 1964.[1][2] A 1965 Charger II concept car had a remarkable resemblance to the 1966 production version.[3]
The Charger has been built on three different platforms in various sizes. In the United States, the Charger nameplate has been used on subcompact hatchbacks, full-size sedans, muscle cars, and personal luxury coupes. The current version is a four-door sedan.
The third generation Charger was introduced for the 1971 model year. Chrysler's B platform was modified to meet new emissions and safety regulations. Available in six different packages with cosmetic changes that include: a split grill, semi-fastback rear window, and a ducktail spoiler. The 1973 and 1974 Chargers were very similar to the 1971 with minor differences in the grille and headlamps. 1973 and 1974 Chargers also wore new quarter windows, which were larger and shaped differently than the quarter windows seen on 1971 and 1972 models. The increase in sales was mostly due to the elimination of the Dodge Coronet, which meant Dodge offered the two-door intermediate-size body style only as the Charger.
The name Charger was also used in Brazil as a performance model based on the Dart (A-Body) (1971-80).
Elzie Wylie "Buddy" Baker, Jr. (January 25, 1941 - August 10, 2015) was an American professional stock car racing driver and commentator. Over the course of his 33-year racing career, he won 19 races in the NASCAR Cup Series, including the 1980 Daytona 500. Known by the nickname "Gentle Giant," Baker was noted for his prowess at NASCAR's superspeedways, Daytona and Talladega, at which he won a combined six races. After his racing career, he worked as a broadcaster and co-hosted a number of radio shows on Sirius XM.
Baker won his first race in 1967, winning the National 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. On March 24, 1970, he became the first driver ever to exceed 200 mph (320 km/h) on a closed course, accomplishing the feat while testing his blue Dodge Daytona. He became known for his skill at superspeedways; in his career, he won four races at Talladega and two at Daytona, including the 1980 Daytona 500. Baker's victory in that race remains the fastest Daytona 500 in NASCAR history, posting an average speed of 177.602 mph (285.809 km/h).
He is one of nine drivers to have accomplished a Career Grand Slam, a feat which involves winning NASCAR's four most prestigious races: the Daytona 500, Aaron's 499, Coca-Cola 600, and Southern 500. The only other drivers to have accomplished this feat are Richard Petty, David Pearson, Bobby Allison, Darrell Waltrip, Dale Earnhardt, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Kevin Harvick. Of the nine, Baker is the only driver never to have won a championship. He generally raced part-time, having only raced three full seasons, and co-owned his car from 1985 to 1989. He competed in two International Race of Champions series, IROC IV and IROC VII, and helped run the Buck Baker Racing School with his brother for a number of years.
Baker retired from NASCAR in 1992, finishing with 19 career victories. His 1,099 laps led at Talladega Superspeedway remain the track's all-time career record.
The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, LLC (NASCAR) is an American auto racing sanctioning and operating company that is best known for stock car racing.[1] The privately owned company was founded by Bill France Sr. in 1948,[2] and his son, Jim France, has been the CEO since August 6, 2018.[3] The company is headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida.[4] Each year, NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 48 US states as well as in Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
That back window trim confirms that Chris has the steadiest hands in the west
LOL, thanks!
Very nice build. Just a note- Buddy Baker didn't drive for K and K until the slightly newer charger, 1973'ish with the slightly different C pillar design. The 1971 style was driven by Bobby Isaac and Dave Marcis on at least one occasion at Talledega, I believe, when Bobby had appendicitis or was otherwise sick. Dave did a great job in that race until the engine blew. All in all Bobby would have probably won many more races but had bad mechanical luck in the car. An all-time great, Harry Hyde was the Crew Chief, Robert Duval's character "Harry Hogg" was loosely based on him in "Days of Thunder".

I had the same problems with the 1/16th scale charger....I kept breaking stuff and parts wouldn't fit....I was happy when I was done with it and get it off my table.....Took everything I had NOT to throw it out the window....I was determined to finish it.
OMG do I know that feeling all too well! I had the same problems when building the Tyrone Malone Bandag Bandit Kenworth! Glue wouldn't set, parts broke, didn't fit, I was happy to be done with it and sit it on the ramp of the Hideout Truck!
Thanks Lou!
I threw the AMT 1970 Monte Carlo against a wall the first time I was building it, but revisited it two years later and finished it. We've all had those days but liking the colour scheme and these kits build up well.
I sincerely appreciate how you bring out the human element. We've all had those builds, those days, those months! Good job!
I appreciate that!
Back when NASCAR was the chit! DODGE AND PLYMOUTH!
Saw Buddy race at Riverside Raceway, CA back in 1972. We sat in the S's and got the worst sunburn ever lol!
Cheers, love the old kits!
Another fantastic build. Just discovered your channel and I’m absolutely addicted
Welcome aboard! It's all about FUN here, fast, easy, no stress model building.
Without this vid, I would have never figured out the roll cage on my 71 Charger kit, thank you! It’s my first car kit!
My model skills has leveled up 100% because of your videos. Thanks.
Thanks a lot!
Great build Chris , it’s not a build if I don’t break or lose something along the way , my last build I lost a complete chrome sprue from a discontinued kit with no spares
,
Yeah we all have bad days!
Regardless of issues you still got it done and great job at that. As long as you can glue it back on it's never broken
Thanks for watching!
Very nice,I could almost smell the paint as you was spraying.as always I enjoyed video.charger looks fantastic.i just picked up Richard petty salvinos dodge charger with vynle decals something I've never done on a model other than water slides,thank you.
In spite of the trouble you had, it still turned out great! Thanks for another great video!
WOW! That Chevy Red Orange turned out fantastic! You've inspired me to make this with my extra 71 kit. Thank you for these wonderful, theraputic videos and thank you Jim Rogers, Rick Salvinos and Chris.
Thanks man!
I would love to see you make a series of all of the models you have built. I know there's probably hundreds of them but just to take your camera and to go over them would awesome to look at
I always loved building the Nascar models as a kid. Have you ever thought of doing a review of all of the Nascar kits you have built showing them together. I had built a big diorama out of screen and plaster to look like a corner at Bristol and I had the 24 spinning off the front bumper of the 3 with the 2 following the 3 through the hole. I used cotton that I airbrushed to show the smoke off of Gordon's tires. I wish I had a photo of that. I gave it to my nephew and it got destroyed. LOL Most of my model building was 1/87 scale (HO Scale) trains and custom painting hand crafted brass trains from the Orient. Keep up the great work and videos, they are a joy to watch.
Thanks David!
That's the most convincing chrome I've ever seen in a model kit- I hope it sweeps the industry.
Beautiful build as usual... and I'll take the "breaksies" over the "dropsies" any day- I could build several kits from what the Carpet Monster ate over the years!
Thanks for watching!
Wow, looks beautiful! great work ! Best wishes from a big Mopar Fan of Germany. keep up the nice work ! Michael
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful build. Simple paint scheme looks so much better than today’s multi color cars you see in nascar
Thanks for watching!
Looks great - another great build, despite your problems. We all have those days. Thanks
Thanks!
I absolutely love the old NASCAR builds. This was back when it was real racing. Nice job and love the nostalgia.
Bobby Isaac's 71 version of this car was on display at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte. Not sure if it still is or not. Been a while since I've been.
Thanks Erik!
That’s ok Chris,we all have some of those days sometime,still a beautiful job
Thanks for watching!
I only have one complaint. Your videos are so fascinating that I forget to hit "like". Another great build!
LOL, thanks man!
I had a Buddy Baker dodge charger when I was a kid.
Wow that orange is nice! Great work on this awesome build! Glad the VHT paint resulted well! I've had many a bad day with kits not going right lol. Thanks for sharing Chris!
Thanks for watching!
WHAT A GREAT CHANNEL, BUDDY YOU MAKE THIS HOBBY FUN. THANK YOU SO MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MODEL ON BROTHER!!!👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
Man, that Salvino's chrome DOES look deep! Nice build, no matter how hard - still easier than building the real one !!! 🚗
Thanks man!
Great job as always love salvinos kits there one of my favorites when it comes to classic nascar
Mine too!
Very nice that the model can be outfitted with different decals to make it basically whatever team you want it to be, as long as it was a Dodge Charger that is. Yours looks great. There is a man named Tim Welborn who has a MuscleCar Musem in Alexander City, Alabama, (about 30 minutes from me), that has the actual K&K car!!!
Thanks!
bloody good build the Future finish looks fantastic
Thanks!
Great looking kit. I have gotten my decals from Mike's Decals he has all kinds of decals.the. build is awesome. Have a great week.
Thanks, you too!
Thanks for this build review Chris, the model looks great! We have all had our SNAFU model moments, good to see the final result!
Thanks for watching!
Yyuupp,, Breakage IS The Modelers Woe, It Happens To All . She's a Beautiful Ride Chris. Thanks For Sharing n Have a Blessed Week.
Thanks man!
I was in my local hobby lobby the other day and noticed they weren't selling the tree house studios clear and looked to have replaced it with another acrylic clear 😒
Good stuff Chris! One of my favorite cars of all time.
Thanks for watching!
Love your Nascar builds. Wish I had your talent hand-painting!! Cheers!
Thank you very much!
I’m currently having one of “those builds” you spoke of. Italeri Volvo 670. Very simple kit, the big rig version of a curb side kit. For some reason, I’m at the point of putting the body on the frame and things are just going south. I walked away a few days ago, I’m hoping a few days away will recharge my patients. I recently bought a few of these Aoshima KITT kits and I think I’ll give those a go after this truck kit. I hear that are top quality kits. Need a simple build.
Oh that's a bummer.
I'll have to look into getting one of those Volvos for review, looks cool!
@@hpiguy they’re pretty good kits. What it lacks in engine details it makes up for in interior detail. Pretty much has everything from the cabin to the sleeper. I just finished this 670, I’ll be posting pictures on the Facebook page.
Good choice on the color - well worth the little extra to go with that paint. One of the nicer finished NASCARs you've done so far. I'm just thinking that after all your "challenges" with this build you STILL have to edit the video, prep it for upload then post it. We only see a tiny portion of what this takes - TWICE A WEEK - for years. You are a true inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot RA!
Excellent build as always, Chris. To test the VHT paint, use a spare piece of sprue.
Thanks for watching!
Well Chris I think all modelers have had one or two kits no matter how careful you are it just seems as soon as you touch it something breaks we've all been there still it came out great the vht paint looks awesome on it definitely going to have to look for this kit and research you drove the 71 charger that year in Nascar 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
That's a beautiful model, but I wish they would have included the regular wheels too. The slotted wheels were for disc brake cooling and not every car was using them and Nord Krauskopf was one of those owners who still ran drum brakes. Also, if you look at pictures the lower front valence was black on the K & K cars of this era.
Thanks for watching!
Nice awesome job Chris
Thanks 👍
That style of intake manifold for the Hemi is called the "Rat Roaster" because they were racing against big block Chev "Rat" motors. The Rat Roaster was available with 3 different lids: 1x4bbl 2x4bbl inline, and 2x4bbl cross ram.
Thanks for watching!
It happens to all of us, my friend, the final build looks awesome regardless, nicely done. I have a couple of these (with deckles) in the stash myself. Great video, my friend! 😁✌
Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Your NASCAR builds are my favorite.
Glad you like them!
As memory serves the hemi had wrinkle finish black valve covers. Since you use lots of Rustoleum paint you might try their "Fine Textured Black" in the future. I find it really gives a nice simulation of wrinkle paint. I also use it as an undercoat if I want something pebbly like a cast engine block. Keep up the great work.
Thanks man!
Nice build Chris. Good to know you’re human. Thank you for sharing and teaching. Stay well sir
Thanks for watching!
We all have bad days still looks awesome loved the rear support joke made my day!
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful build Chris, your presentation is always so entertaining! Parts breaking is always a challenge , but just a part of life! I love your positive attitude, keep up the great work!!
Thanks for watching!
Most of the VHT(very high temp)paints have to be heated to get all the gloss out of them. There’s ceramic in it and heating would melt the plastic.
Thanks for watching!
Nice build! Enjoy the music in your videos too.
Any consideration to adding the 71 number to the trunk lid?
Oh god I've been there, got to a point I just stopped for the day before I screwed it up anymore than I did, so put it down had a cup of tea and went for a walk to clear my head. 😭👍
Thanks for watching!
Super cool, always like the K&K car!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks man!
@@hpiguy 👍
I bought a 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 over at Michaels
Don’t worry about it Chris we all have days like that still an awesome looking car 👍🇦🇺
Thanks for watching!
Nice build of an iconic race car!!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful paint!
If the box art was as good as your build, it would be a top seller no doubt!
Thanks for watching!
Great like always, but I thought I had the corner on being 'ham-fisted'!
Ha! It's a universal quality we all possess.
Hey HPI guy this is a comment about the police car. The movie White Lightning with Burt Reynolds that was also a LTD who was painted brown no they did not make a model of it but it would be cool if you did one.
If they issue it as another version I'll think about it!
Too. Cool !
I really love the engine...black on silver.
Thanks for watching!
Nice job Chris keep up the great work thank you for sharing
Thanks, will do!
Beauty!
Thanks!
Nice addition of the background in your finished pictures!
Thanks! Been using it for years now.
Yeah buddy looks great from here Chris! Fantastic buddy!
Thanks for watching!
@@hpiguy - yeah buddy, YW! No problem!
The “electrical “ piece is the ignition system.
Thanks for watching!
Great kit yours looks sweet
Thanks for watching!
Hey Forrest Gump said $^it HAPPENS!
Thanks for watching!
that was perfect 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Great Build!!
I had a 1970 Charger
Black primer and grey primer
After all the body work was done the owner freind that was helping me with it Up and died on me . His son was an a hole and almost said he was keeping my car
I got it back and drove it like that for 5 years then sold it for 2 k I only paid $500 for it
Old time modeler here, used to build the old Monogram, Revell, and AMT models as a kid. Recently been dabbling in Bandai’s Gundam line. Curious what adhesive you’re using, surely something better than the old Testors tubes are out now. I have some of the Tamiya liquid glue that works great when I need it on Bandai’s kits, not sure how it reacts to these Salvino JR kits. Any advice is appreciated!
Hope Salvino‘s bring the #3 Dale Earnhardt car..
I missed the monogramkit in the early 90‘s.
Yeah, hopefully they can get those licenses.
Great review and build Chris. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
@@hpiguy my pleasure.
I tend to spray and pray too. Most of the time I say...good enough!
Thanks for watching!
Hahaha Chirs u said u were breaking things haha me to broke my roll cage on my petty 1 25 kit plus i lost my glass to mine your not the only one that brakes things lol
This dude smokes his on tires!!! :-)
Butterfingers..... I like Milkyways myself! lol
LOL
Excellent as always sir, looks great!
Thank you kindly!
I love your work! I have a question is there a model kit for the military wrecker m984 HEMTT
There are HEMTT kits, but not sure about wrecker. Italeri makes a nice HEMTT and you may be able to find resin conversions out there. 1/35th will be the scale for land military kits.
👍👍
i still dislike the two piece chassis, i had the monte carlo kit and every single time i try to put the chassis into the body it snaps in half
Never had that issue. A generous use of good quality model glue will weld that chassis together perfectly.
this one looks like the one the Polar lights did with 73 petty charger
Good to know you have problems too! 😉
Thank you!
Awesome work as always. What are you using to seal the decals in such a way as to hide the deal edges? Do you Clear coat? or another effect? I find when at model shows some kits you cant tell if they are decals and others the clear deal edges are a ghosted clear and it detracts from the end result?
See my videos on applying Future Floor Polish.
Did you use different decals for the Goodyear on the tires?
Chris not to burn you up with questions, did you have to leave the small tabs on the sides for the hood to sit on?
Yes, you need to leave the tabs for the hood on these.
👍beautiful job!
Thanks for watching!
Love the car. Do you use any special solutions to set the decals? I used to use microsol and microset many years ago, seemed to work well.
Great video. Keep them coming.
Thanks for watching!
Great job as always Chris. Can’t tell all the “damage” exists under it all! I don’t think that’s what is meant by kit bashing😀. Really nice result, enjoy watching.
Thanks for the info!
@@hpiguy everyone has those days! Have a great day 🚗
Awesome super styrene goodness!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome Job! 👍
Thank you!
Does that floor polish stuff end up drying or something?
Chris are you going to be doing the 81 Hardee’s Buick that Salvino’s JR just put out
Possibly, it is a cool looking fast food machine.
@@hpiguy Oh yeah I always love it when they do the Hardee’s cars
Very Kool kits I got one I'm gonna build
Thanks for watching!
Hey Chris would the frame and tub fit into the General Lee model kit
No idea, give it a shot and post up on the FB page if it works.
Nicely done. What did you use on the tires for the raised white lettering?
Those are the Salvino tire decals.
What spider chooses to live in a spray booth?
He liked the colors.
Looks amazing I love the Dodge Challengers. I was wondering does the floor polish yellow over time?
Keep up the wonderful work.
Challengers?? Oh you mean Chargers.
I have not had that issue yet. But I don't smoke and my kits don't sit in the sun either.
@@hpiguy thanks
@@davidimrie6916 yes chargers sorry my stupid auto correct I see was changing my words again lol
Old stock cars were not real shinning, the future gives just the right amount.
Thanks for watching!
