jjsipes Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Work has been alittle slow and I'm trying to do alittle more research on the 66 long nose Landy Dart so, I thought I'd see what I could do with the 64 Dodge. Here's a quick mock up. Not to bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnwitzke Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Looking great! I am building the version of this car before the wheelbase was altered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Altered the rear tubes by cutting from the bottom front to mid way up and pulled them foward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Working on interior tub as well. Noticed that the front foot well looked shorted. Grabbed my reference pictures and sure enough, the pedals hanging off the bottom of kit dash were right up against the floor board. Not gonna get much pedal movement that way. Got to looking and seen there was room between interior tub and backside of firewall so, I had an extra interior floor, cut one off in front of the seat mount and the other 1/4" back to length the interior tub. Fits and hopefully will look more accurate. Need to flip door panels from side to side and scribe the door panel design into them (sketched it out on one them) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnwitzke Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 looks good! I done the same thing on the door panels. Flip them then scribe the correct panel style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsipes Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Been back and forth on this project but, finally got the body ready. Primed and painted. Everytime I went looking locally for Tamiya Silver Leaf, no one had it. Thought I would try Tamiya Gloss Aluminum. It's very bright out in the sunlight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrobarry Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I`ve just finished some reading on the Ramchargers version of this car. I assume this is a " 2% " car yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrobarry Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 From what I`ve read, your model qualify`s as a 2% car. A true "grand father" of the funny car as we now it. Keep going, I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Took a few minutes today and primed and sprayed my interior red after rescribbing the door panels to reflect the pattern. May shoot some Semi Gloss clear once dry depending on the sheen when dried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for a minute that they were from the Moebius 65 Belvedere interior. Maybe add a bit of panel line accent to bring out the parts you scribed? Just a suggestion. Cant wait to see this build come together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 Can't believe it has been 4 years since I touched this. Think I might try and finish this up this time. The body has been sitting on my desk since I painted it. It was covered with dirt and dust. Washed it up and grabbed my wax and rubbed it out some. Not the best pictures had to do a mock up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
