10thumbs Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi Jim,Man, what a super clean and fantastic build! I love it. Guys, on top of all the things Jim added, check out the radiator! Very realistic detailing here.QUESTION: Jim, did you change the location of the motor? The Lindberg 64 Dodges for instance, all have the motor too far forward. I built one 2 years ago and moved the Hemi way back to the firewall, just like the way yours sits now. Is the Moebius kit like this, or did you do some surgery?This is a really nice build!

There are some great reference photos of these cars out there; I just try to find the right colors and finishes to make the parts as realistic looking as possible. As for the engine, I had to grind a little bit of the back of the firewall to make it fit right. It's probably back a little bit too far as the gap between the fan and radiator isn't as tight as it should be. I have several cars I want to build from this kit, and I've learned a lot on what to do differently on the next one. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrindy77 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Well, this is funny, when Garrett and I were looking at the cars he mentioned he really liked that one. I took a photo for him...I did not know it was yours. I never really looked at any of the build sheets. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
