I kinda figured that landy had a lot of pull at Chrysler as in later years he did quite a bit of r & d work for them and also was part of the clinic program. Also they might have just used Lindermood to make an example of . Plus he was a Chrysler employee at the time and being from the Detroit are he was real excessable . I used a little micro sol to settle the blue decals around the tail light panel

I almost forgot the story I got was that Chrysler took it away from Roger for doing to many bumper dragging wheel stands after they were warned not to .

John the freemont body fits like a glove as the master joe used for the mold was made from the moebius kit as a word of caution his Awb dodge body is made from the amt kit and requires quite a bit of slicing and dicing to get it to work with the moebius donor kit . In these photos you can see where I cut the chassis plate right behind the fire wall on the blue dodge I also had to cut a piece out of the front sub frame and grind down the edge of the dashboard . I have a couple more of the dodge sedans to build I didn’t find the modifications to crazy and well worth the effort

Yea John all the blue are decals they went on real nice and didn’t tear but the shade of blue doesn’t match the testors dark blue enamel that I have used on my other color me gone cars . It looks better in photos than in person however with the red pin stripes it’s probably the only way . I’m right with you on house projects I have a lot of outdoor construction projects to finish before winter

This is out of the box with chuck boener decals which I think the shade blue isn’t dark enough at least for my liking. I would really like to have a set of decals without the blue . Overall it looks good on the shelf .

Wow what a masterful job . For some reason unknown to me I have developed a desire to build some mid 60’s top cut off drag cars to add to my ever growing collection I have about 6 in the gathering parts stage or 1/2 started stage . This build has got me a little more inspired it was great fun to follow along.

Such a nice basic build .This is molding building at its best not over detailed and you didn’t spend a month matching a brake drum . It was neat to follow your progress it really held my interest . This looks just like something my dad would have built circa 1962 as he would always mix part from several kits . Your engine details are amazing it all looks just right for the era . You got me inspired to start a 40 ford coupe early gasser

This has became one of my favorite builds I think it just looks spot on . The build is a rather simple resin / moebius conversion. Or what I call a joe Curtis special as he provided the sedan body and decals . The paint is Tamyia bright red . I did steal the wheelie bars from the AMT Awb falcon , and the front straight axle is from the little Red Wagon kit . Until next time thanks for looking Mike

That’s a great project and a good use for that monogram super bee . I’ll need to get a set of those decals

Round two has everything to do this . It would be epic Ts

Great looking build I fully agree these Awb mopar kits pretty much just fall right together and with all the decals available there are many possibilities. Then there’s early and late versions . These kits are even more addictive than the revell 64 thunderbolts. They were along time in the making but so worth the wait

I’m missing a pro stock maverick I’m hoping Moebius comes through in the near future

I have finally accumulated all of the parts to build the haulers . Now I’ll just need to get about 10 cans of Tamyia spray paint to cover both trucks and trailers plus decals this is definitely the most expensive project I’ve done. It’s been quite an undertaking. A big thanks to all who are involved .

Thanks John I sure wish I could get to those calif. events . Mabe some day soon they’ll build a 6 train from my to calif. if you’re in my neck of the woods look me up

Southern Motorsport hobbies has a nice resin body and the yesteryear decals available for this check out their website
