Here's some more progress on the General Lee. I filled in the space behind the license plate below the rear bumper. It's strange how this part of the body is split. I put some sheet styrene behind as well to close it all off and strengthen this area of the body. I also sanded the putty in the engine compartment. The hood that comes with this MPC kit is actually a 1970 Charger hood. MPC did put out a Charger 500 kit that was based on the Dukes kit that had a correct 1969 hood. I was able to get my hands on one for this build. The picture with the two hoods shows the correct (yellow)1969 hood on the left and the (white) 1970 hood that came with this kit on the right. I'm using the exhaust system from the Revell Charger which is more accurate than what came with the MPC Charger. I had to make the area that goes over the rear axle shorter to fit the MPC chassis by cutting out a small section. The last picture has the chassis with the exhaust system and rear end axle and springs in place. These are parts from the Revell Charger kit.
