Altered Ego

Whoa! Nice choice my friend, this is pretty cool. This is something I can say I have never thought of. As always, very nice work.

I wasn't sure whether to start a new thread or continue with this one. I have completed my first 65 Dodge Coronet from the Moebius kit. This one is pretty much box stock and this kit is very nice to work with. So, here it is, the Virginia Twister.

The Virginia Twister is the first one completed. You can see it under Altered Wheelbase Fun.

The Virginia Twister has taken the lead today and will probably be done Sunday if it doesn't rain in Talladega on Saturday.

Finally, making some progress on the Twister and Mr. Norm's cars. The blower/injector assembly from the Atlantis Fiat kit assembles nicely on the Moebius hemi.

I built this for a dear friend from high school. This was her dad's car and I think she will really like it. Special thanks to Brandon Miller at Miller Sport Customs for making the decals. The quality and the pricing are great. I recommend them to everyone.

Fremont Racing Specialties on Ebay. They are very nice and work really well.

I am planning to use the blower and injector from the Atlantis Fiat and the headers from a Polar Lights funny car on the Mr. Norm's car. I will probably just use the kit transmissions. I had the same idea for the Strickler standard wheelbase car, but I have an old set of Color Me Gone decals that may end up on the A990 version. I am planning a maroon Mr. Norms car as well, but have a Fremont Racing body painted for that build. I haven't decided if I will go that route yet or not.

Now that is cool. I have that magazine and it never occurred to me to try and build this one. The originality alone makes this one great. Another incredible build my friend.

I used the Testors Icy Blue Extreme Lacquer. The Twister was indeed a sedan, an A990 conversion. Virtually nothing from the Moebius kit fit the Fremont sedan body when I built The Virginian, so I decided to go the easy route and just do a hardtop. You will see this one more time during this series, LOL.

Just a quick sneak peek at my first three Dodges.

Awesome job, I especially like the 3D printed straight axle. I would love to have a couple of those for some builds I am working on.

WOW, I thought the original was pretty darn cool, but the rebuild is substantially better. Nice work.

This will be an interesting first build of the new Moebius model. Can't wait to see it finished!

I am actually jealous of the Dart Gasser. The 62-63 Dodges and Plymouths have a uniqueness to them that make possibilities almost endless. Gasser, super stocker, match racer, etc. Can't wait to see this one progress.

I pretty much only use Testors Extreme Lacquer and get as close as I can.

100% with you on the decal issues on the Flash. I had the same problem and is really the only thing I wasn't happy with on mine. The Dart backhalf has me intrigued. I used the backhalf from the 66 Nova Pro Street which seems standard practice among everyone on here. Keep up the good work and you can see mine on Pro Stock Fun.

Next, in this series, I opted to build the Wally Booth Rat Pack car. I opted to build the 1968 version, but put the 69 decals and Cragar wheels on it. Strictly based on what was in my parts stash. The Time Machine Chevelle once again donated the big block chevy. This required cutting the transmission tunnel out and replacing it for the bigger transmission. The tunnel ram came from the 66 Nova Pro Street kit and the rear spring shackles from the Old Pro kit allowed the stance to be close. A pretty simple and straight forward build. I am now going to take a break from this series and do some more altered wheelbase stuff.

Nice work this is one of my favorite independent funny cars.

Another issue I had was notching the white side stripes for the door handles. MW did a much better job than I did. This is a fun build and fairly easy with the 66 Nova tubs and intake. Mine is under Pro Stock fun. It's not as nice as MW's, but it looks good on my shelf.

Hey Michelle, would the side pipes from the AMT 1968 Z/28 Camaro work? I have started a project with this kit and won't be using them.

In need of the door numbers for any JTG nascar car. Only need the red with white trim door numbers, any font for 1/25th scale. Have lots of stuff to trade. Thanks

I don't know how you do it man. I just built 4 Pro Stock cars at one time and it was mentally taxing.

And finally, the Butch Leal Duster. The same Hemi combination as the Vanke Duster except that I used the carbs and stacks from the Moebius super stock kit. The wheels and tires are from the Grumpy's Toy Vega. I hope everyone enjoys these. My budget and parts box really took a hit on this binge build.

Third, is the Arlen Vanke Duster. The Hemi came from the Moebius super stock kit. The tunnel ram and carbs came from the Grumpy's Toy Vega. Fenton wheels are from the parts box.
