Daisy's '71 Plymouth Satellite -- FINISHED!


Recommended Posts

Just to remind y'all: YES, they used a '74 Roadrunner which appeared in 5 of the first 9 episodes, then beginning with episode 11 they switched to a '71 Satellite Sebring in a Roadrunner paint scheme, hoping nobody would notice (we did).  Some prefer the '74; personally I prefer the '71, finding it much sleeker and meaner looking with the wraparound bumper/grill assembly. 

Base kit is the Revell/Monogram '71 Plymouth GTX.  Modifications include:

     -Replacement hood

     -Smaller-block engine (from 71 Duster)

     -Completely rebuilt & boosted rear suspension

     -Replacement tires

     -Wheel hubs from '77 Ford van

Additionally, all GTX logos were removed (not easy on the grill); headlights made from sanded/polished acrylic gemstones; engine bay heavily wired and detailed; scratchbuilt steering wheel, CB radio and antenna; paint is Plymouth Yellow Blaze.

Absolutely a perfect work of art. It is completely impossible to tell this from a real car. Usually the engine gives it away but not when you build cars. The dashboards can often show imperfections too but not when you build cars. Sit back tonight and admire it and don't be humble about it. You earned the opportunity to be proud of your work and talent. Thanks again for sharing this. We're grateful you let us be part of it.
