Recommended Posts

Here is another "Dyno Don" drag car,

With a little bit more detail.

The wrinkle slicks=Competition resin

The engine=Ross Gibson

Scratch built= headlights and some of the rollcage and Front shocks + chassie from firewall to front.

and also the headers= of solder+parachute bracket.

Modified= The lift of Bodyfront.and the wheeltubs.

Decals=Slixx

Probebly are the car not correct replica of the real car,but i did some searching on the net but couldĀ“nt find many detailed pictures,so i decided to build it in a truly way.

Very Nice Pro Stock Mustang! I like the paint and detail work on this one. Stance looks spot on as well, good looking build. I have to bookmark this, since I'm building a Mustang II, too. It won't be a Pro Stock, but it will be close, though. Good Job.

Another beautiful build Fred! The stance looks perfect.

How did you make the head lights?

I have done a mold in silicone of the headlight in the kit and then cast it in clear plastic ( my daytime job is casting in plastic) then i found in a fabric/textile store where they have rivets that you adorn clothing with, a little round rivet in chrome or aluminum.

The back of the rivet is like a reflector,that you glue to the back of the lens.

If you have a partsbox you kan use lenses from another kit,but it is important to have the same size so they will fit.

If you want a thin chromed edge around the lens you could use aluminum tube in the right size.

You get much more realistic headlights with this method.

IĀ“ll hope i use the right words in my explanation.

Look at my Dyno Don Pinto topic,the Pinto have a headlight with the thin edge of a aluminum tube.

Nice build!

I know it's too late for your build but here are a couple of detail shots for the Dyno Don Mustang II, the only ones I have found.

As you see they ran small block engines at that time in Pro Stock (in this case a 351 Cleveland) but your car could maybe be a Match Racer. ;)
