I started this car back in October 2012, and I'm getting back at it to try to finish it up. Here is where I stand right now: Engine Interior Undercarriage The body is at the "Paint Shop" right now, so hopefully I'll have more updates once the body is all painted.

Jim, The photos are not showing for me. Have you posted this model in any other Forums? Been away a few days. Due to a computer crash.

I've posted this model over on the Model Car Magazine Forum & at The Scale Firehouse. Unfortunately, Photobucket is "down for maintenance", and has been for the last day. Maybe they're getting rid of all of their stupid popup add!

I swear this car is cursed or something! As you see it, it's on its FOURTH complete paint job, and now I've had a decal failure! The "State Trooper" decal on the right front fender (not shown) slid down over the wheel well & that's where it dried. Un-freaking-believable! I contacted Round2 to see if I could get new decals for this kit. I didn't have much hope as I purchased this kit when Lindberg was owned by Stevens International and not Round2. On the bright side (if there is one), Round2 said that they would send me new decals. I think they felt sorry for me.
More updated when (if) the decals arrive. Of course, they next update might just be a flaming box of crushed parts!

So, I managed to get some more work dome on the Charger Build From Hell. My decal issue was resolved, and this is where the build stood on 26 FEB 16: And here is where we are now: The front & rear bumpers are just placed on for the photos, and are not secured yet. Despite some setbacks, the build is starting to come together. The latest setback is the rear view mirror shot across the room, and I cannot find it. No idea where it might be. I minor setback, but I'm sure something will pan out (or I'll find the part). So, onward with the build!

I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel! (and it's not the headlamp of an oncoming train this time) It's getting there. Not perfect, but I'm pleased after all of the trouble this build has been.

Jim, Yes we are moving. We bought a house, Got tired of paying rent. And the new house is a bit better suited to our needs. By the Local Standards it is huge. But in reality it is not that extravagant or over the top. Depending on your standards. One reason we liked the house is it is not on a main highway, it has a room that is going to become the man cave/hobby room. We are happy that we bought it. By US standards I got it cheap. And the property is reall aninvestment in the future of my new family over here.
hope things are going well for you. What will your next project be ?
Be Well Gator
