sflam123 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I've always been big fan of the Ramchargers team. I've built 3 of their most successful funny cars. The Dodge Dart is the original MPC kit and is 51 years old. The body and decals got damaged in our last move, so I have done some work to it in the last 10 years, but otherwise the car is original. The Dodge Demon is a converted Revell Ed McCollough kit that I built in the mid 90's. Unfortunately, the windshield on this car got damaged in a move shortly after I built it. The Dodge Challenger is a Model King kit I built about 7 years ago. I can take and post additional pictures of each car if there is any interest.

hack-n-whack Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I'm interested. I'm sure there is plenty of interest in the Ramchargers' cars from people in the metro Detroit area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Beautiful builds Tony. How hard was it to remove the side trim on the Falcon AWB? Edited October 16, 2020 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a little tedious but not too bad. I started off with one of those emery boards for nails to file down the trim. I began on the top side and worked my way all the way across, then followed up on the bottom side. The hardest part was the leading edge of the front fenders, naturally. I had trimmed down one end of the emery board at an angle in a way (sort of like an x-acto blade) so as to fit into those tight contours easier. Then followed all that up with finer grit sandpaper. It's not perfect but feel I got it pretty close as far as trying to keep that peak down the center fairly sharp. I am currently working on another one of these and feel I got some better results this time, a little sharper peak-wise.

I might tray a razor blade to scrape down the trim. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Edited October 17, 2020 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Tony Nancy was a pretty good friend of mine. I hung out with him quite a bit at his shop. One day when I was at the shop he pulled a bunch of these kits out of the back room and gave them to me. He said go ahead and build one. Well ...almost finished!

Those are beautiful kits, although I've never built one, so I can't comment on how well they go together. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
