Winter time model building thread.

-guy your not kiddin! I too have the 1/16th model of the General Lee.... from MPC, and I had the older one a LONG time ago, went up in flames in a house fire when my home place burned to the ground, and this new one, is WOW......

The engine? OMG, the intake is WRONG for what it ought to be, the kit comes with a Rat Roaster, thats a NASCAR intake, NOT a "Pro-Street intake that it ought to have as the General Lee was meant to have, THEN, you got the timing chain cover with the front engine mounts, THATS wrong too......The transmission ought to be an automatic, a Torqueflight comes to mind here it has a standard transmission it instead. The air cleaner in the kit, WTH is that!? The kits frame, under the 426 Hemi? The roll cage? I'd much rather see inner fenders, and have something MORE to work with as well as the A frames and spindle arms......This is justfor starters.... just to name a few.....My friend, PLEASE go with a different model starting out that one is a nightmare! Ohh, forgot to mention the 426 Hemi oil pan, with the model? Thats a Top Fuel dragster oil pan, NOT meant for NASCAR or pro-street racing.........

EVEN I will have a full plate with this one! I'm out to correct ALL the things I just mentioned!

Yep, very odd stuff going on with the kit. Like I mention I did this kit when I was probably about 12 years old and had no issues with it at that time.. Of course I didnt care so much about the details like I do now but it was a easier kit to build back then. Oh and another thing, the tie rod piece. None of the suspension aligns properly so you cant properly put this piece on. It will either bind on the torsion bars or is to high so it wont let the engine sit all the way down fully like its suppose to. I have not been happy with this kit since I've started it. I may just stop doing it and put it away. I have other awesome kits that I want to build.
