Jeff those are some good looking Chevy 2’s. One would think that a decal maker would come out with a really good Dick Harrell sheet , a Steve Bovan , and a Texas bandit just to name a few

They have all the tooling done and I think it’s going to be released sometime in this coming year. Fingers crossed ?

A double cover build for this special time of year. The hemi honker is built out of the box. With smp decals. As for the strickler z-11 it started out with the amt 63 impala mixed with the 62 super stock belair, using Fred cady decals. As always thanks for looking ? feel free to ask questions. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all. Mike

Looks good so far I like the shift light ? on the dash . I’m with you on not using the cal tracs these mopars always got it done with super stock springs and a pinion snubber

Trevor go on eBay and look up the seller Teresawulf they have ramchargers 64 dodge decals with the candy stick marking’s. You may still need the Hodges dodges decals from the lindburg ramchargers sheet. With some cutting and filing the lindburg / amt color me gone chassis and wedge engine will fit and give you much better detail. As the 64 hardtops were max wedges.You can also make the lindburg grill/bumper fit also Good luck building I hope I can be of some assistance with your project , Mike

Sweet a/fxer neat lettering. Good use of the color me gone kit. I really like it ?

The johan 1964 dodge candystick is a 32 year old build from when you could buy one at your local hobby shop. I added switched the chrome reversed wheels out for the plain steel rims from the amt 62 belair super stock kit which worked out great as at the time I was building the north wind car. The rest is out of the box. The decals I used at the time were Fred cady the paint is krylon white topped with testors gloss coat. The candymatic sedan is the great lindburg kit that builds up great right from the box. Thanks for looking ? .Mike

I altered the wheel base by moving the rear wheel wells forward and making patch panels, and add front leaf springs from amt’s jimmy kit with a piece of aluminum rod for the axle. The back wheels are Americans from my parts box , and the injection manifold parts came from one of the best parts kits ever made the amt double dragster. The injector stacks are made from aluminum tubing , and the neat fender well headers came by the way of another great amt parts kit the amt 1963 corvette. I made the header collectors from aluminum tubing rounding out the fuel system is the grill mounted moon tank also in the double dragster.The shade of pink is by krylon the decals were sourced from a eBay seller that goes by thersawolf. The actual car had a much lower front stance and I believe the front wheels were moved forward with lengthened fenders. It also had longer full length headers. I just felt like using my artistic liberties to make it look more radical. It had to be a wild and raw mid 60’s ride. This is one of these builds that photographs from all angles.Thanks for looking ? and I hope you enjoy, this one was really fun to build, Mike

The Vicky is one of my all time favorites . I really like the filpped over headers and the use of the 37 Chevy headlights. Nice stance with the front leaf springs holding up the straight axle, and a nice choice of color a good contrast with the light blue tint windows . Fine work my friend

Nice clean build of this great kit I like your addition of the frame connectors , wheelie bars , and the lowered stance

That’s a really nice rail job. You captured that late 60’s essence it’s a shame the boss 9 never worked out in the fuel cars.

I got this model as a started resin kit from a on line sale. So I don’t know the origin of it, but it is a very nice casting. I used the engine from revell’s hemi dart the injector stacks came with the resin kit. The crager s/s wheels are amt the windshield and back glass are polar lights 1965 dodge snap kit. The roll bar is made from 0.80 styrene rod Decals are by slixx. The 1965 awb dodge’s are my favorite drag cars of all time and I can’t wait for the new moebius kit mad always thanks for looking ?, mike

This is built from the amt kit with the following additions. Headers from the 1967 pro street chevelle, amt m&h slicks , and smp decals the name the tanker says it all these era impalas were behemoths. This was a nice easy build.

I built this from a combination of a old glue bomb of a mpc 1969 mustang, and the latest issue of the mpc Malco gasser kit. The only parts saved from the old glue bomb are the body from the cowl back. The rest is the malco gasser kit . The decals are slixx. It seems like it wouldn’t be to difficult for round 2 to tool up a cowl back 1969 mustang body to better fit this front end. Of course they could really blow us away and tool up a twin turbocharged boss 429 , and some fold up store display’s .We can only hope they get to that level of cool. Thanks for looking ? and your comments. Mike

Great looking 55 nomad one of amt’s best kits. You did really nice work on all the small details brake lines , fuel lines , headers etc, and the injector stacks are just awesome. Again nice job ?

That’s a neat idea it would be cool to have some gasser gremlin decals for the doors. That big Ford wedge looks good in there with the engine set back

That’s good to hear I like try to inspire others, and promote growth in this great hobby of ours . These were set of slixx decals I applied back in 1995. This was also the first time I used micro sol and micro set which really made the flame decals settle down nicely. At the time testors candy grape was my only option nowadays you can find better purple options. Thanks for the nice complement. Mike

I built this from the revell Ed McCulloch kit. I borrowed the front wheels from a polar lights funny car kit the paint color is testers candy grape over silver topped with slixx decals. Thanks for looking ?. Mike

I really dig your choice of colors , and a fantastic job masking off those panels. These revell tri. Fives can be real fussy to build. Again great build thanks for sharing

Really nice dragster. This kit builds up nice

Theses are two of my favorites the polar lights and amt long nose mustangs built out of the box. Gas Ronda was ford blue till the end, and a true first class performer of drag racing. Both of these kits really captured the look of this historic funny car. It would be neat if amt could find the tooling for this one. Although the polar lights kit is a more accurate representation of this car. as always thanks for looking ? Mike

The blue car is a box stock build from circa 1990. As for the red cars I used the last issue of mongoose navy kit. This reissue is the best of the the revell duster body funny cars. With the main part of the chassis being one piece, better slicks, longer headers, and more. I cut down the roll cage on these to make the body sit lower on the chassis. I also moved the engine a little forward on both cars. The decals on the version with the black sides came from chuck boener. The red paint is testors Italian red lacquer on both. Thanks for looking ?. mike.

I love that color thanks for showing how well these old johan kits look detailed. Despite their simplified chassis they had the sharpest body’s and engines

That’s the nicest looking grill and tail light panel I have ever seen on a 62 bel air. With the fade paint it reminds it looks like a Gene Winfield custom. Great job

Tim , cool idea. Man that’s a lot of charger kits I really like the Tommy Ivo theme. I really dig the paint colors. The days of great rattle can colors.
