I think that works well, the one at Cheng's open day was very well executed but the colour was a bit too subtle, this on the other hand in yellow works well, only in my opinion!

The back end of the car looks way off to me. They've changed the shape, filled the seems and lost the tail panel trim which throws the proportions off even more. The more I look at it the worse it gets.
Rear diffuser cutting into the valance looks pants. Interior isn't my cup of tea either. The rest, apart from the hood looks ok because it hasn't been messed with.

I quite like the colour though. :)

I think it’s been shortened, it looks short and stocky like a modern car to me. The green one over here that they built had the proportions seriously messed with.

Yeah it could be shortened. I thought the rear quarters looked deeper between the wheel opening and rear valance. Maybe they did this to accommodate the exhaust exits?

Yes I think you are right blue. It does look shortened.

in the category it falls into i reckon its proper bit of kit and without cars like that, they would all become very boring,
how many times have you been to a show and there is a number of the same model cars all nice cars and while you appreciate the work done, condition and model variant they are all the same,
then, this is there and you have something to check out in all aspects,
A MARMITE CAR.
like it or not it now creates a discussion debate forum , etc and everybody has and is entitled to an opinion but one thing is for sure with a car like this, you really cant knock the workmanship 8-) =D>
IF ITS ON WHEELS, LOWER IT!!

You can’t fault the craftsmanship it’s quite staggering. I just don’t like seeing an iconic car with its its soul ripped out to make it look modern. I can’t get excited about modern cars, they are just appliances to me. Why not start off with a Mercedes and make it look a lot like a ‘68 Charger? maybe they did!

I'm not against a restomod or whatever category this falls into but from the driver's seat you wouldn't know you were in an iconic '69 Charger.

The car looks good until you get to the back end. They messed that right up. I do like some of their creations but they went a bit too far with this one!
