I’d also like decals for the speed win dart from New York

Wow that’s really neat I’ve always wondered what to do with that chopped merc . I was thinking gasser but I like your idea better

Slixx made decals , but not for this seldomly seen paint version there’s not even a picture of this paint scheme in her book . I’m guessing it’s late 1969 . If someone would make them I’d be down for a set

This build required slightly complicated quarter panel swap to alter the resin bodies wheel base I showed the process in the wip section here. I also removed the side trim. After it was painted I added the rocker & wheel well trim along the trim on the top of the quarter panels with my Molotow pen . It would be great to have more Huston Platt decals I’d really like to build 66 Chevy 2 and the 67-68 Camaro funny car . smh resin body amt awb Chevy 2 kit amt 69 Torino: rear open wheels yester year decals tamyia: black paint amt 63 impala : the top of the scratch built hood scoop until next time thanks for looking, Mike

Another great looking Landy Dodge out of your stable . I’m really glad you stayed with the turquoise engine color as it just looks pretty that way. I don’t know about you but I really want to build the Cornet however I want to match the blue I used on my charger and hemi dart and it’s been so many years ago I can’t remember the brand or the shade of blue I used. Also I need slixx to reissue the Dick landy sheet with the mix of mopar kits on the market it would make good business sense for them.

First of all no I am not using a rare johan kit . Yes the AMC fuel burner is the only johan piece. This is a real miss mash of parts that I’ve accumulated over the last eight years. I’ve been trying to get to some of my more obscure projects as a break from all of the mustangs and Camaros . So stay tuned

Here’s the mockup there’s still a little ways to go . I still have to make some time to get it in my cousin’s spray booth to air brush a cleat blue mist around the dark blue edges. Then glass and decals .

It looks great it also looks like you live warm dry painting climate. By the way what paint did you use for the blue ?

Fuel burning cammer is complete

I just finished part one of the paint job .Part two will be a dusting some clear blue around the dark blue edges which I’m not really looking forward to because I’ll have to unearth the air brush . Most of the chassis is now done , and most of the fuel burning cammer is done. My favorite engine of all time.

Another Torino funny car on the bench . Getting ready for the custom paint job . If I can pull it off it will really make it pop .

I just got the hood scoop made . I also ground down the back side of the bumpers to fit the body along with c cutting down the injector stacks to clear the new scoop

So of my up and coming projects are DUCES WILD with ALTERED WHEEL BASE, STOCKERS, AND FUNNIES . Stay tuned

I got the decals on and I’m about 80% done I just have to fit the hood, make the hood scoop ,and fit the bumpers. I also need to move the front wheels out further in the wheel wells.

Very well done that paint job looks beyond excellent . I wish I had that paint option when I built mine 14 years ago. When I painted mine while the candy red was still wet I stood way back and misted it with diamond dust silver . Yours came out way better and yeah these chassis are fussy to keep square . I don’t know about you but I never liked the shape of the side window opening on this charger body a little to rounded to my eye .

The cammer looks good. It looks like you made the intake from a fuel injection manifold part from the 63 vette kit good idea

All your fit mods look good so far I’m looking forward to seeing this one come together.

The fuel line and some dust is nothing to be embarrassed of . Excellent work on those red pin strips and the proper curved hurst shifter. Chris Walsh makes some nice quality decals.

Sweet very cool concept I love those deep dish crager s/s wheels

I’ve had this one in progress for about ten years now . Rewind ten years ago I got a bunch of heavily discounted resin drag car bodies. There were two Torino bodies in the mix . A couple of years earlier I had acquired decals for the Coleman car plus the Kansas badman . So I painted one in Tamyia Italian red and the other Tamyia Bright Red . At this time I picked up a couple Polar Lights Mustang funny cars to bee the parts donors. Then time and sidetrack ions kept happening for ten years then low Ann behold AMT reissues the MACH WON kit . Come last December I’m in Wal-Mart of all places and they had a nicely stocked holiday Round - 2 display among it was the MACH WON kit a real bargain at $ 25.95 .So I bought two thinking i can use the 1970 bodies for some Pro Stock projects coming up. Now I’m here with these leftover short wheel base funny car chassis .So I dusted off the resin Italian Red body lengthened the chassis swapped out the engine block and four speed for a engine block with the appropriate automatic transmission sourced from the MPC MALCO GASSER MUSTANG. The interior tin fit the resin body nicely without any trimming. I had already purchased a new set of decals from Chuck Boener which were way superior to the ones I already had. For apparent reasons this is a tough issue of model car since to come by. In my opinion the rear slicks that came with the MACH WON kit are to small for this era funny car . Every slick in my tire box were way bigger or pie crust. So I went with the ones that came with the kit. I did replace the front tires with smaller ones. Until next time thanks for looking. Mike

Added the B pillar and chrome side trim

I’ve been wanting to build that Al Joniec car for years I’ve never been able to find the correct decals . Pole cat decals just came out with a set for the maverick plus a few other mavericks . I’ve never ordered anything from them but I need to. They are both coming along nicely

Another fabulous looking funny car with great photography. It makes the colors really pop . I’m pretty sure this car had a third life with uncle beave’s young nephew John Brut Force .

This is your basic mpc grumpy’s toy Vega kit mixed with the engine from the amt 1966 nova pro street kit . Tamyia gloss black with chuck Boener decals. The gold decals are really striking against the gloss black paint. Until next time thanks for looking. Mike

Perhaps a Dyno Don Cougar in your future. Maybe a Rod Shop mopar or possibly Herb McCandless
