Progress report----------- body shot ready for decals,,bits and pieces painted ,,, 3 kit bash Amt Caliente body,,Revell Thunderbolt for the engine and some other bits,Moebious Dyno Don 65 Comet for the chassis and some interior .I'm thinking of doing the Moebious Ford F350 race car hauler to go with this -
yep,,,1st rendition with Wally Booth

I did this as an in-between'er build while I'm waiting for some stuff for the Sox & Martin Comet build, Ted Spehar's Iron Butterfly 64 Dodge 330 with Dick Oldfield driving .The car wasn't a factory Hemi car,,in fact it was Ted's wife's car ,with a Slant Six! Ted built the car in 2 weeks in 1969 and only ran the car in 69 running in SS/CA . The car made headlines at the U.S. Nationals when the Torqueflite detonated while doing a neutral start. The explosion virtually lifted the entire car off the ground. I believe the car's best run was at the World Finals where Dick was runner up to Sox & Martin.I built this car from an old parted out Lindberg kit and a Hemi and wheels from a Moebius kit .The decals are from SMP ,Holley 3116 carbs are from Fireball ,headers are from the plumbing dept.,,solder division ?

Went to the NNL today...I posted a bunch of pics for you guys,,,anyway I missed or didn't see any Dyno Don kits so I got the one on ebay,,,,did some work on it when I got back,,,cut the hood out ,the Fairlane hood is close but the front leading edge is shaped different then the Comet ,,,so I found a teardrop resin one for 5 on ebay ,,,didn't think to look at the NNL. -

Thanks Jeff ,,maybe I'll try and get a Moebius kit just for the heck of it -
,,,,,,,,,I was gonna do another truck build but I've been sitting on this one for awhile so here we go (I'm sure I will change my mind when I get back from the NNL on Saturday) If anyone else has done this build I'm open for tips/tricks ! (use the curbside Caliente body and running gear from the Fairlane)
