Nice job on one of my favorite classic amt kits

Thanks Dave the more oddball the better

This is for Jeff , and all other gremlin x fans . The latter version and the earlier version were built around 10 years apart. The latter version is mostly out of the box, but with the wheels coming from the double dragster kit. The decals on the latter version are a mix of penguin and slixx. Paint by testors. Thanks for looking ?, Mike

Thanks dan

I built this from a Jimmie Flintstone resin body combined with the amt gremlin kit. The amt 1955 Chevy sedan gave me the wheels. Paint by testors decals are slixx. The super stock cover looks so awesome. There’s nothing cooler than a night photo of a door slammer burning through the rosin.

John, I don’t know if you can still get them or find a set on line somewhere, but modelhaus made the Howard’s wheels

Look up smhracing.com they have the right body and decals for your project the decals and by yester year they make a nice product and they ship fast I usually get my stuff in 3 days or so

This is another quick lindburg build project . All box stock with smp decals. Just be careful when using these decals as they are more fragile than kit supplied decals.

Hi John, l think the TH400 was also the transmission of choice for DickJessie’s MR.Unswitchable and Arnie Beswick’s mystery tornado super charged gto

Very cool build idea well executed. Not enough people build early 60’s mopars . As for the name. Jean knight had a big hit with mr . Big stuff

Thanks dan

John, I hope you’re doing well as are health is paramount I’ve had some issues myself , made major dietary changes so I can stay healthy and away from doctors, and pharmaceuticals . Your build looks great I’ve never had any issues with the tamyia putty I usuals make spreaders out of sheet styrene. This will cut down on how much sanding you need to do. There were 2 versions of the car as the first one was rolled in a match race with the ramchargers at Detroit drag way . I think the car craft article might be on the rebuild car . At this time they switched from the Howards wheels to crager s/s . The rebuild car also had gold bumpers I sure wish I’d moved the front wheels on the one I built forward . I’ll be following along with you. Mike

Hi John, I used the amt 66 Chevy 2 front frame rails and just made some bracing up with 0.080 plastic rod .while this might not be 100% accurate I built most of this car long before the internet so I just made what I thought looked right it originally had Fred cady decals as the slixx one’s went out yet. When I finally got around to finishing it some thirty years later I stripped them off and used the slixx ones.As far as sacrificing a moebius kit just for the front clip I would save the money. I used the front leaf springs from amt’s 33 Willy’s kit I used aluminum tubing and a leftover amt metal axle. You could also make the springs from metal strips cut to length and superglued together . I brought a thin square piece of steel at my lhs and cut it into strips with a tin snips. I took some close up pictures that might help. I cut the chassis right behind the front rear spring perches to move the rear wheel wells forward. The headers I used are actually hemi parts from revell’s dart or charger. I hope this helps you out if you have any other questions just let me know I’m always happy to help out a modeler. You always do a great job with nice detail work my friend. Mike

Looks great love the Firestone pie crusts

Looks great jungle was the man

I’d like to see their act in person

I got to meet clean ronnie when he was racing that pro mod 64 comet which I would love to build a model of. He was a really nice guy always a clean act

The drive shaft got short when I had to cut the chassis in half to lengthen the wheel base. I just haven’t gotten around to fixing it. As for the oil pan the engine is just thrown together from junk parts as it’s just a curbside build. Thanks for the good words, Mike

Looks great nice metal flake blue

Sweet the double dragster is one of my all time favorites.

Ro , if you have the rest of the hemi dart kit that your engine came from you might want to use the chassis, inner fenders, and fire wall from it . It would definitely add realism. Oh, Arlen could really make a mopar run

Wow that’s gota be great memories were you sporting Schwinn stingrays?

This is the ultimate in cool ? did you use the amt body with a severe chop , and where did the decals come from?

I fully agree with you the smp quality has a lot to be desired I find them very fragile. I also have to watch with a waxed finish as I’ve had them curl up and fall off. Boy is that fun to go back and fix. Thanks for the nice words.

This is a box stock lindburg kit covered with testors red enamel and smp decals. Thanks for looking ?, Mike
