the 1972 was kit bashed (which means to modify with the swapping of parts from other kits) from a 71 gtx model and a mark martin folgers tbird , some parts such as the wheels and the aircleaner were donated from other friends on other sites , such as the before mentioned randyayers site.  |

You may have been at the museum a day or so later than we were last spring. We went to Randleman on Friday - the day after the Thursday night pole win for the 600.  |

1974 dodge charger polar lights kit This kit was given to me for free by a person who wanted to see the kit built but did not have time to do it hiself -He was from another website. This kit was built about 3 years ago and other than the few i already had this car started my obsession to create more and more petty cars. The charger was my favorite car the king owned . This was what he was driving when I went to my first race as a child.  |
