My wife got me the AMT 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic model for Christmas (http://www.round2models.com/models/amt/2010challenger-rt-clas) and I turned it into a replica of my 2011 GWE R/T Classic. The thing about though is that it is very fragile and I wanted something I could take to car shows this summer.
A few weeks ago I was with my wife at Michael's and I found this metal diecast Challenger SRT-8 (http://www.hotdiecasttoys.com/product_info.php?products_id=320). It had to be put together so I figured I could take it home and sand it down and turn it into a little more rugged version of my car for car shows. It turned out pretty good.
The 1st 3 pictures are after I had it sanded down and repainted beside a version of exactly what it looked like before I started (the black one is my dads... ironically he had the same diecast). The next 2 pictures with the graphics are the final result. The last picture is of my car. I found 1971 Challenger R/T 1/24 scale graphics online is what I used. The color of the paint is Testor's Lime Ice. It isn't an exact match but for $5 a can it is pretty close. The paint changes depending on the lighting.
