I have messaged back and forth a few times with someone who used to work there. He confirmed there were in fact 2 cars. One was a purpose built race car - This car was both the SS AND the C/MP car . Just at different times. SS/E first, then C/MP This is the car that was sold in short order and became the Superchicken, then disappeared. The 2nd was basically a painted up street car used for customer / shop purposes. Once its duties were fullfilled. Im told this car was returned to Chrysler. Why? no one knows.

More of a test it and see if they still work post than anything . But its next in line So decided to find out if they were any good . And I can fortunately say,,,,So far, So good Im a little surprised these decals actually fit this body. ( so far ) I believe they were originally designed for the old Good Stuff resin body kits The paint layed down so nice, Its almost a shame to cover most of it up with decals Simple 3 light coats tamiya Bright red with 3 coats Tamiya clear Edit, I might push this one to the ft of the line While I wait for paint for the Superbird build

Working sheet metal is a lost art I would love to know how many hours he has in the body behind him

The fear is real in regard to model kits There have been several one and done runs , recent ones I can think of. Revell Sox Martin Cuda , Revell Dick Landy SS/E Dart Polar Lights Nelson Carter Superchief funnycar Are just 3 I can think of real quick. All 3 can bring decent money in the secondary market. Supe

Thats cool, I can just see Michelle Pfeiffer ars sliding across the pass seat

Looks good, Great color combination as well

They are all over Ebay now

A completely 3d printed interior to convert the Johan 1969 Roadrunner to stock and do away with the kits supplied incorrect '70 interior https://www.ebay.com/itm/226816605260

I posted above a link to Class Racer. Its a rather long thread on both the Jack Werst and SM wingcars built . Their timeline and initial purpose with some history posted by the people that were there And the comment that the 2 SM cars were one and the same car was posted by someone who worked for SM and on the very car In one photo the car is in the shop and its at that time is when the car is being transformed from SS/E to C/MP . New engine would be installed with much more compression. and at 1st the crossram was used. Ive not seen ANY under hood photos of the car to say with 100% certainty what it ran and when I've read for years there was 2 cars. But seems odd that if true you would think at least one of them survived. These cars became a collectable commodity rather quickly . So it stands to reason 'at least one' of them would have surfaced by now.

Ill be picking up some this weekend Strip this one and start over

Had a little time today so decided to spray the blue . Once this is dry . I'll tape it up and spray the stripes ( both hoods ) I've been told the cars roof was darker than the earlier years, and not as bright blue as the online photos depict it to be . Not sure if this is TOO dark. But I can live with it I guess. Both Tamiya blues. Light blue metallic on the left Mica blue on the right Let it sit a few days, then spray the red sides Also learned the car ran a Rat Roaster intake in SS/E with a basically stock but blueprinted hemi, But was converted to crossram, lots more compression and cam and the sixpack hood scoop was installed at that time for C/MP They were in fact both the same car, just at different points in time There was a 2nd Bird. But it was a painted up show car for the dealer tours and customer / client duties

Thanks all I'll drop it in the strip tank and go from there Im my gut tells me its an enamel primer I'll usually use Duplicolor . But they were out of stock so bought a different brand, and it bit me in the buttocks lesson learned and will not happen again

I recently painted a Moebius AFX Dodge body. And I guess the primer I used - ( Rustoleum - a new to me brand ) and painted over it with Duplicolor touchup spray Its crazed the body enough I am not happy Not sure if the primer or the top coat caused it. Any coming back from this or just get a new body / hood / new kit and relegate this one to the parts pile ?

Got this one today , 1st one of these I remember ever seeing.

Following as i have been pondering the exact same question
