10thumbs Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Really a nice cleanly built car. I especially like the finish on the tires, makes the model look real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeves Racing Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Thanks guys, I started this build with a kit molded in red and couldn't stop the red from bleeding through to the white. Tim provided a body molded in white and Ricky provided a Hemi engine and Shay provided headers and the roll bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Very nice build Mitch, the next time you get a red plastic body, spray it with silver, then your primer, and then your color coats. No bleed through. I just love dem Mopars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeves Racing Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) Very nice build Mitch, the next time you get a red plastic body, spray it with silver, then your primer, and then your color coats. No bleed through. I just love dem Mopars! I tried all the techniques including a coat of Future. I had to strip it every time (3 times). I have painted red plastic before but this one was relentless. I won in the end though because of great friends in the modeling community and Sublime green... I'm going to make a Sam Posey road racer out of the red one.

Bowtienutz Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Beautiful; job I always loved the car . Don't get me wrong I'm not questing your building skills but I have questions. The landy car challenger PS of this error looked to have a 71 style a 71 style grille I haven't seen a photo of of one with this grille. The Black painted on the car almost always looked kinda brown was this a phenomenon of the film used in the day. or was it actually black. Thanks for sharing you did a great Job and I'm very impressed. Vince Putt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtienutz Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks for the quick reply can someone answer my questions for the correct colors of the Pro stock car ? Again you did a really nice build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reeves Racing Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks for the quick reply can someone answer my questions for the correct colors of the Pro stock car ? Again you did a really nice build!The 71 Challenger Prostock with the big scoop was painted with navy blue and orange stripes. I have never seen brown on that car. Dick also ran silver base with red and blue stripes on some of his cars. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red, white, and blue. Red, silver, and blue, Orange, blue, and white and even a Dart Sport Pro Stock that was Orange, white, and metallic brown. More than one Pro Stock car per season and dozens of Super Stock cars over the years. Although sometimes similar, there was no "official" paint scheme and set of colors that carried over from season to season.WF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I don't believe this paint scheme was ever on a 1970 ( or 1971 ) Challenger back in the day ,,,until the current day built replica shown above.My understanding is it is NOT a former DLI car ,,but merely a tribute . Either way the built model looks killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way the built model looks killer Here's a picture from Facebook page "Dandy Dick Landy - Tribute to A Legend" that claims it's from 1974 Gatornationals. I guess the best thingto do would be to ask Robert Landy to see what he knows. Also Geoff Stunkard is working on a book titled "Landy's Dodges" that should be available in 2016 that should have info about this car one way or another.
