It is longer but I'd go with it , you're not building an exact replica and the longer nose looks good ! Did you notice the Fourth Place winner ? It's a 14 year old named Timothy S. Boyd .

Here ya go Lee ! https://public.fotki.com/TooOld/models/misc-/magazine-articles/car-model-dodge-contest/

Beautiful work , that's a great looking race car !

Great idea Lee ,I'll be following along for this one . I remember drooling over the original when I picked up that issue of Car Model at the corner store . I have scans of all the Car Model issues if you need more pics , including his article on how to build your own Dodge fever .

Your Thunderboat may have been a lot of work but the results were worth the effort , well done !! And I like the "64 project too , definitely finish that one !

Thanks Claude ! Thanks much Sean !

Very cool ! Great work Claude !

Beautiful work ! These were surprisingly fast cars !

I have a couple more that I might get to one day .

Excellent paint work as usual Bob , definitely the nicest one I've ever seen . I also have this kit still in it's box . I purchased it more for sentimental reasons but may take another look at it after seeing yours built !

Thanks very much Bob ! Not so casual with this one . . . it was in and out of the box half a dozen times over 6 or 7 years . I'd try doing a little bit , give up , and put it back in the box . And yes it would have sold very well ! Dave Deal had several kits drawn and submitted that were never produced .

Thanks Alan !

Great build Michael ! And I like your solution for a stock body , gonna make a note of that !

Thanks Chris ! Thanks Bob ! Thanks Bob ! If using the short wheelbase front fenders the Multi-Mav body is the same as the hard to find Jo-Han body , even the grille and bumpers are the same . I have a Jo-Han kit but "NO WAY" was I going to chop it into pieces for this build !

Thanks Larry ! Thanks Anthony ! Thanks Bill !

Thanks Matt ! Thanks Michael ! The M/T and LA Hooker cars would be cool to build . I had a Cougar so I used those parts but any other kit would work . Thanks Gerald ! The Multi-Maverick is the same kit and can be had for $20-30 bucks . Thank you !

Thanks much Chris ! Thanks Kyle ! Thanks very much Dave ! Very cool pic !

This 1/25th scale Mean Maverick uses a Multi-Maverick body and an AMT Cougar Funny Car Chassis , also the wheels/tires , headers , valve covers , and various other parts were sourced from other kits . The Multi-Maverick body has been heavily modified to match the original Mean Maverick . After studying photos of the Mean Maverick I came to realize that it's not even close to a stock Maverick body , in fact the only areas that weren't modified are the rear window and the trunk lid (although the twin spoilers were added to the trunk ). It was much more work than expected ! Paint is Tamiya TS-31 Bright Orange and the chassis is Testors Purplelicious , and I printed my own decals using a darker purple for the stripes to match the chassis . I also tinted the windows purple by spraying them first with Tamiya Clear Red then with Clear Blue . The finished body was cleared with TS-13 . Thanks for lookin' !

Great looking pair of Cougars !

Thanks very much Tim !

One of my favorites ! Beautiful work Bob ! I still have the resin parts to convert a stock Tweedy Pie plus one of the new Atlantis kits , maybe one day I'll build one of them .

Hah ! Thanks Bob ! Those are Chuck's builds but I did the composite and added the graphics for Chuck to use as a Desktop Background , thanks for posting it and I'm glad you liked it enough to save it ! As for "Speed Shift" . . . Atlantis once said they had all 3 then that they only had 2 . . . last I heard is they aren't sure (?) and there may be some molds still at Revell that haven't been shipped . That seems unlikely after all this time but who knows .

Beautiful paint work , well done Bob !

Thanks Bill ! Thanks much Tony ! Thanks Larry !

Thanks Gary ! Thanks Mike ! Thanks Keith !
