Looks really good! I used Tamyia Mica Silver on mine.

Looking really good! You just cannot beat the Fireball carbs. They pay dividends on the look of the engine compartment

Same, using latest Color Me Gone kit as well. I also got a set of the lightweight seats from Speed City Resin and the photo etched grill from Model Car Garage

looks good! I done the same thing on the door panels. Flip them then scribe the correct panel style.

Looking great! I am building the version of this car before the wheelbase was altered.

I painted the intake black and the engine compartment will be black as well. I know the. restored car has a silver engine compartment and the intake manifold is orange, but back in the day, both were black.

That's cool. This car started as a normal Dodge 330 Super stock then the wheelbase was altered and became what some say was the first funny car. This static open to debate, but the changes were pretty radical.

My 1964 Dodge 330 Super Stock driven by Dick Landy is moving along. The 426 Race Hemi is taking shape, still detailing left to do. I really like the photo etch grill. Paint came out great, leaving as single stage to replicate the real car in 1964. Goal is to have completed in time for the Heartland Nationals in Bellevue NE Oct 5th.

Very nice build! I like this one a lot!!

Very Nice! I like this one a lot!

Started BMF to the silver 1964 Dodge 330 426 Hemi Super Stock

Finished the vinyl roof with white textured paint. Started adding BMF and photo etched emblems

Color on the 1967 Hemi Coronet. Next will polish after paint sets put for about a week then apply the white textured paint to the roof for the vinyl top.

Thanks...I will just polish the silver paint, no clear coat. I want it to look like factory applied paint.

Thanks Mike....The carbs are from Fireball Modelworks. They are the correct models for the street hemi and 440 and race hemi.

I have about 8 of Dick Landy's cars planned for builds

From the photos that I have seen it appears that the intakes and possibly the water pumps were black on some cars. Some of his cars also have black painted engine compartments. As far as the AWB 1965 Coronet, I was fortunate to get the last available one from Speed City Resin. It is an excellent kit, the casting looks like an injection mold. Not sure if he will be doing any more. The kit currently shows Out of Stock

Here are the starts to the engines. Very early stages not detailed...yet. Painted Mopar Hemi Orange and Turquoise. The 1964 426 cross-ram race hemi has the Landy signature black painted intake manifold. The 426 street hemi and 440 will go into the 1967 Coronets. Carburetors are from Fireball Modelworks After these there will be the 1965 altered wheelbase Coronet, the 1968 440 Dart and the 1968 Hemi Dart.

Peak at some Super Stocks under construction. The silver car is a 1964 Dodge 330 Super Stock 426 Hemi. Alan, take note of the two Coronet Super Stocks, both blue with white vinyl tops, one a 440 and the other a 426 Hemi.

The traction bar is visible in the photo you have. These are longer than the kit supplied ones and would require scratch building to look correct

I think the valve covers would be a choice and ether would be correct. I built my Brannan car with the Thunderbird covers since I had photos.

This car the same maroon as the Thunderbolts ? - No it is Heritage Burgundy. The T-Bolts were Vintage Burgundy

The blue car that you see in the photo of Ronda's car on jack stands I believe is Ritchey's Viking blue car. See the reverse traction bars like the Ronda car.

Like the Brannan car, the Ronda car is one of the 5 pre-production 1963 Galaxie Lightweights, I would assume that it would have the "Thunderbird" valve covers initially. However, they may have been switched out at some point. I would also point out that Ronda's car was originally Viking blue when it left the factory. When I build mine I will have blue overspray on the underside floors in addition to some of the burgundy. On the Ritchey car that I have under construction, I put the 427 valve covers on
