Your doing it right. I’m the same way that would bother me if I left that gap.

Thanks Joe and Ed! Filling the gap was just me, but I am glad that you feel the same way.

2021 Dodge Charger R/T
The Story It was almost dinner time and McNally stops at Mario’s Back Bay Pizzeria to talk to Zach. “Hey Zach!” “Hi Mc! Been a while. How have you been?” “Good! Can we talk?” “Sure,” says Zach and he leads McNally down to the other end of the counter. “What’s up?” “I need a location on Jacob Anderson. Can you help?” “Sure! I need a few minutes. Hang loose!” Zach pulls out his cellphone and he calls a mate who puts him in touch with someone else. Zach puts his cellphone back in his pocket and he walks back to the end of the counter with a small piece of paper and he hands it to McNally. McNally shakes Zach’s hand and he palms him a $20 bill, turns and walks out. The Build The wheels and tires have been assembled. The body is ready for paint and the chassis has been partially assembled.

2021 Dodge Charger R/T The Story McNally stops at a large dealership in Chelsea that had a car he was interested in. The car was a 2021 Dodge Charger R/T in Bright Blue Pearl with a Black interior. It has power everything and an 8-speed automatic transmission. It was a beautiful car and more like something he could surveil in compared to the 2010 Charger Super Bee in Orange Pearl that he had now. But, the insurance company didn’t like the bullet holes, blown out rear window or body or the slipping transmission. The Super Bee was junk! He takes the car out for a test drive and the salesman did nothing, but talk and talk and it was driving McNally crazy! McNally finally spoke up! “Please be respectful and quiet while I test drive this car!” The salesman says, “I’m giving you the facts about the car. How it drives, its many features…” “I have a 2010 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee. It is basically the same car as this one. If you don’t shut up, I’ll hog tie you and stuff a rag in your mouth. Understand,” says McNally? “I understand. Sorry,” replies the salesman. After the test drive, McNally turns down the offer for the car which he thought that it was too much money and he walks away. He’ll let Victor Arronsky buy the car and offer him the car at a substantial discount. The BuildI fired up the paintbooth this afternoon and painted most of the remaining parts in the kit in various shades of black.
McNally will return...

Just like Henry Ford... you can order it in black, black or black!

Black is a great color! I have used grey too much lately and a black interior seemed like a good idea. That color seems to be used as a body color too much though!

2021 Dodge Charger R/T The StoryJacob Anderson had received some of the property from Margret Archambault when she went to prison for murder and RICO charges and he rules them with an iron fist! His second in command is Dean Macomber and he updates the career criminal with the latest goings on in his group including McNally. Dean tells Jacob that several teams went out at different times and they had failed to kill the Boston PI. Dean suggests a different approach and Jacob is all for it.
The BuildThe chassis and the interior are nearly done and all the chassis needs are the wheels and tires and the interior needs the dash and steering wheel to be detailed.

Thanks Joe! 2021 Dodge Charger R/T
The StoryMcNally decides that it would be best that he move out of his house and into his safe house which he keeps in Dorchester. He bought this old warehouse from the city dirt cheap and no one doesn't seem to know its whereabouts. He even installed a remote garage door opener so he could drive in and out at his leisure. The BuildAfter adding the tie rod to the spindles, I noticed that the tie rod could have been a little longer by about 1/8 inch. I cut the tie rod in half and added a piece if styrene tube to lengthen the tie rod. I also notice that this is a 4-door and the interior side panels have a slot for a shoulder harness and I added one to each side of the interior. Maybe I'll try my hand at making the shoulder harness receiver for the other side of the front seats.
