spencer1984 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I built this for the 2021 "Cannonball Ruse" CBP (starts here, and still ongoing!). It started as Lindberg's "Maverick" '64 Dodge 330 Super Stock, built as a sleeper with a few extra performance upgrades. The 426 is now supercharged with a unit from AMT's '57 Ford, wheels and tires are Plastic Performance Products, and as a last added kick it has a Turbonique from Alan Raab. I also included a figure of the Lady herself, a Hendrix Mfg Co. resin figure with a vintage helmet from Fujimi's Driver set. A full writeup of what went into it is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSNJim Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) I didn't know what it is either. Interesting product and company - nothing like a 850-1300 HP boost. Turbonique - Wikipedia Check out the second External Link in that article. Lot of ads and tech manuals.

Fair point, and what I usually see when most people are talking about this car. I wanted a slightly different take on her, more of a former badass who retired into street racing (my favorite backstory at the moment is that she was a WASP in WWII). I was trying for something similar to Bette Davis in Dead Ringer, with a little Valentina Tereshkova thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckyg1 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Well now, this is certainly different...…And totally awesome! Great idea & cleanly executed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggon Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 That's a great build overall, but the Turbonique axle is awesome! Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
