Welcome to my garage LEGO!!!

Hello! My name is Michael. I'm a Builder from Russia, I love muscle cars!

42111 - Dom's Dodge Charger "Improved"

Fast and Furious!!!?
Dodge Charger that we deserve!Toretto approves!?
I started by Stripping off all the skin, reassembling it, and putting it back on) The frame did not touch at all, replaced only the rear shock absorbers with soft ones and their attachment, which would put the wheels corresponding to the scale. I installed a normal grille instead of a sticker on the panel?, added rearview mirrors and a small steering wheel, as well as a decent supercharger?.

Somehow wheels seem to small, but then perhaps I'm to much influenced by this...

honestly better than the original.

The sides definitely look better. I also thought that those panels angled like that resembled the real shape much better, but looking at how the wheels fit I suspect that's why they weren't used. If you were to put the bigger wheels on then you'd have trouble with scraping the wheel wells.

Speaking about suspension I have kept the original springs but I had to re-mount them within the chassis. I found that with the original position after a while they lost the ability to raise the car back up after being compressed (and I didn't keep that car on its wheels either). The downside is that now the rear is a bit higher than standard but at least the suspension is very firm and I don't foresee that I'll have the same problem with sagging anymore.

Replacing mine's wheels to these ones as soon as I am back home!

This looks way more natural this way for me!
