I also would make my own AWB cars. Cutting, sawing, gluing and puttying. Mobius makes it EASY!

You put a lot of effort and skill into this one and it shows. Great job!

Super! Great workmanship

Just finished. Built to replicate the early carbureted version of Dick Landy's iconic Altered wheelbase '65 Dodge. A great Möebius kit with Tamiya paint and Slixx decals. Terrific stuff with no negative issues whatsoever. I was fortunate to have the Autolite, Holley and Isky decals in my stash. I made a white panel to go under the " Automotive Research" lettering to duplicate the true look of the lettering.

Great looking model! True to the original and chock full of details.

Mike, you are a top notch craftsman! Ditch the hood scoop!

Amazing what a talented modeler can accomplish today! Love it!

Nice work!.

Clean build!

Thanks! And the camera actually magnifies the flake but it still looks ok

Just completed. My favorite car but definitely not my favorite kit! It seems as if AMT gave up on accuracy in the body at the C pillar. Oh well. Supposed to be B5 blue but whoever mixed the paint put WAY too much flake in it. Really didn't want to strip it and repaint with other potential bad results so, here it is. Just noticed that the upper hose popped off . Gonna fix that right now!

Well done . Both cars look terrific!

Nice workmanship. Very clean!

Excellent job! You obviously know what an NHRA stocker should look like! You nailed the details and the look!

I don’t know how I missed this. I know its old but deserves to be brought back!

Great looking piece of drag racing history. Nice job!

Extremely well done! You put a lot of effort and skill into this one and it shows.

Nothing wrong with a phantom build. Nice job!

Looks terrific!

I’m gonna stick my 2cents in as to why S&M engines were painted with Ford paint (as were the race cars until 1970). The simple explanation is that S&M had a huge stockpile of Ford paint left over from their Mercury sponsorship. That said, I’m going to make it a priority to seek out Buddy and Herb at Carlisle this weekend and ask them!

I really liked this car that I built over 12 years ago. After a few moves, it seems to have disappeared along with many of my FOTKI album photos ( where the heck do they go?) I don't think that I will ever be able to replicate this build but, who knows? All I have left are these photos.

I built this car many years ago when the kit was first issued. I never was happy with the paint (too dark) . I must have used gold as a base coat. Not bad but it didn't match the real car and that bothered me. I decided that a repaint was in order! Tamiya clear red over a silver base coat along with some new Slixx decals. Nice color. Only took me about twenty years to correct it!😀

That is cool!

Good job! Very clean.

Nah, I think that I've just become lazy or my skills have diminished . I don't care . I still have fun building models.
