Got a picture of a different version of the car

..............new direction here >>>> Poff's Puffer - WIP: Drag Racing Models - Model Cars Magazine Forum

...........this is the new direction with the 65 Chevelle,, I bought all my speed equipment for my GTX and Duster,,and a mini bike! at Van Iderstines and I remember the picture of this car on the wall,,never got to see it run at E-town and could only dig up a few fuzzy pics online ,,made my own decals,,I took some liberty on the hood and rear deck, the rest will be out of the box build with details added .Guessing the one pic is before Ken put the Puffer on and altered the wheelbase,,,lol

Looks great!

I just shot my mailbox with Rustoleum,,came out great! ?

That blue Chrysler is sweet! Is that an old JoHan kit?

I recall M&G Convoy delivering all the Chrysler products around by me,,I think Ryder bought them out

He's got some nice stuff!

I decided to go a different route with the Chevelle after finding a pic I had of a local (to me) 65 Chevelle,,,,,and it's blown,,,,,,,,,,,,stay tuned......Ill save the Chadwick decals for another 65

I was gonna start the Ronald Lyles 'cuda,,I got most of the parts..... but I had this on top of the pile,,it was easier to dig out,,,lol . I've had the decals for awhile,,I'm pretty sure Chadwicks 65 was Candy Apple Red,,,,if not chime in,,,and I believe it always ran with carbs ,,never was injected Any good pictures of the actual car post away,,I only found one online ....I'm a Mopar guy so searching for Chevvie pics is troublesome ?

That came out nice Zip

I like it!!!

That's gonna look good Ron,,,where did you get that chassis?? I couldn't find muurcreations on Ebay

She's done,,,did some light chalk weathering,,,built up one of Jamie's (Moluminum) 4-71's I had as a rebuilt unit and stuck it on a pallet made from coffee stirrers . Printed out a service manual and put it in the cab. So the back story is circa 1972,,Andy's been a road guy for for 30 years ,,likes it ,,never wanted to be stuck in the shop,,his 65 Ford was up for replacement and he was supposed to get a new one,,but he said no thanks,,,I'm gonna retire with this girl,,,,,and with that he was on his next call to a customer with a rebuilt 4-71

That thing is gonna look great!

..............the Chinese might buy Chrysler/Dodge from Stellantis ,so it would make sense they might make a move on Model Cars Magazine ..lol can't believe how much faster it is!

..........things a rocket ship now!

No not at J&T

Moebius kit 65 Ford F100

Nice job! I gotta build mine one of these days ,,,,she be getting a Detroit though

Up on the bench ,another inbetweener while I gather stuff for the Ronald Lyles 'cuda Pro Stock . Johnson & Towers Detroit Diesel Allison service truck. MCW White enamel/homemade decals / urethane clear . Out of the box build with some details. I was thinking about a small crane mounted in the bed ,but this is only a single rear wheel so....... I might build a 12V-71 and put it on a skid in the back though,,,,lol !

I have a can of Eastwood Carb Renew,,I decant it and airbrush a light coat or 2 over black primer

MCW Tawny Gold enamel/polyurethane clear

Well, Reid's car is done ,,or my version of it ,,sort of a tribute ,, if I could have found a 72 body or a 72 tail light panel that would have been nice! Lessons learned on Herb's car helped here with using the Nova Pro Street chassis . Probably start gathering stuff now to do Ronald Lyles 'cuda ,,in the mean time I got a Moebius 65 Ford service truck next up with some Detroit Diesel Allison decals I made for it.

............ok back on Reid's car,,,applied the decals last night,just shot the clear , let it level out and put it in the dehydrator in an hour or sp
