mr moto Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 This has been my favorite super stock for a long time and the stars finally aligned in such a way that I could build it. Sure, Moebius makes an excellent kit of a later Missile and this build gave me so many headaches that I wondered why I didn't just get that one and build it out-of-the-box but a long time itch has finally been scratched. This is a mash-up of various Johan and Lindberg Mopar kits: 1963 Plymouth, 1964 Dodge (Lindberg and Johan versions) and 1964 Plymouth. All the decals are home made including the nifty 60's style upholstery. The end result came out okay but it was a beast! Hope you enjoy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggie427 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Gorgeous build Manuel. This car was a killer in Mr. Stock Eliminator and was one of my favourites too. I especially love the upholstery decals you fabbed. Beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice that most of it is just text and that's what Word does best. Everything else is made from images "captured" on the net and pasted into Word where it can be cropped, re-sized, etc. until it fits. The Champion Spark Plug logos were done that way even though I could've gotten plenty from leftover kit decals. The ones done in Word are much sharper and fine lined than the kit decals.

First, I have to say THANKS to everybody for all the compliments. Helps make the trouble worthwhile! As for the air cleaner, screwdriver, etc., I had to think up some way to keep from covering up both of those great looking Carter AFB's that I got from Fireball Models. Fireball's stuff is really killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Powers Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Manuel, your results speak volumes about the work your put in on this build, especially considering the JoHan kit this started with! Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echo Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 This is a beautiful build. You made a unique piece using various kits to complete it. It's so much more satisfying than just building the later Moebius kit. I always liked the Melrose Missle cars and this is a good example of one. Nice job ! I made a fictional racer out of a '63 Johan Dodge, used much from the Lindberg '64 Dodge for parts so I have an idea of the work you did.
