Unknown I think I got it off Ebay several years ago. My gut tells me its a scratch built piece

Thanks, My ultimate goal is be able to recreate this photo in 1.25th scale I have the Hemi dart, and the Charger done already Once this dart is finished, I'll move on to the 68 Coronet RT

unknown, It was an ebay purchase several years ago . I think its scratchbuilt All I need is the cab and related bits https://www.ebay.com/itm/375869203372

welcome along for the ride. I retired last year , And have dove right back in the model building again and really enjoying it I can sit ( and usually do ) sit at the work bench for hours on end

Nope, other than decals and plug wires its all the pieces in the Hemi dart kit Keep in mind, The Rear suspension is exclusive to the Hemi dart version

I need to find a proper cab / chassis to put this altogether

Will be a very simple no pains ( hopefully ) 100% out of the box build

Thanks, I found that same exact diecast listing

Im aware of the SS/A hemi cars. I already have that one built Im working on the less known SS/EA 440 auto car . Bob Lambeck was primary driver

Anyone know for sure engine color on this particular car. Instructions says Chrysler red( orange ) A 1968 440 or 383 GTS Darts engine would be turquoise in color

Nope. Making my own Its a Kit I body I cut the roof off of. Used the MPC 1968 Body as a guide . Molded sunvisors are from Revell Dart kit. 1968 kit on right my 1970 on left Got the resin RT stuff from harts parts ....I think. It's been a while so not 100% sure

A good friend of mine owns an original LO23 car campaigned out of Sabina OH back in the day The Kessler Brothers car But it would require far more paint skills than Im capable of or a one off set of custom decals be made

Here is a video of the actual car. Probably one of my top ten favorite drag cars from the period These LO23 cars made GREAT race cars. I have a few more decals / kits to build Next up is the Dick Landy SS/EA car ,,,OR I might move on to the Demented dart . Or the Charle Allen SS/EA car ???? decisions decisions

I cant answer that, Ive had these dist kits for quite a while . still have maybe 3 or 4 left

Thanks, But Im a long ways off

I'm going no top Going to be this car. Havent decided 100% on tires and wheels just yet

A slight snafu ( dropped it this morning ) I think I better call this one done and walk away . Basically box stock with exception to the MAD pre wired dist and Slixx decals Paint is Tamiya Metallic blue with duplicolor semi gloss black interior, Engine is a True Value rattlecan Pumpkin orange to give the looks of Race Hemi Orange My decals ae getting old and they had some cracking issues So its not flawless . BUT, I can live with it Imo. These cars make GREAT looking race cars

Help, All I need is the white plastic filler section. Mine has gone missing

Nice Very nice I did one a few years back. That tri tone interior can be tiring

See there, We are total opposites. I'll TYPICALLY , just buy kits of vintage American cars, And MOST of them are either Round 2 or Revell Although I do have maybe half dozen or so 20-30s era classic big touring cars IMO Its a good thing we all dont like the same thing. It would get boring I like looking at some of the Imported cars/kits. But deep down zero interest to tie up space in the display for them

Well, I gues sthe cat is out of the bag , so to speak. Its The Larry Griffith 1968 SS / A Hemi dart Got the body painted yesterday . Decals today ( THAT was fun . ) My Slixx decals are starting to get old, And Even though I put a clear topcoat of these before working with them . I still had cracking issues I had a MAD pre wired dist, so decided to use it . Might still add fuel lines . Maybe

Although quite true. Most non mopar people wouldnt know the differences outside of maybe the grill itself

Agreed, I was told the owner had well into 6 figures in the Woody when it was done

Im not a street rod guy by any means, BUT, Having used to work in a shop that built high end cars. I can fully appreciate the effort, time and money that goes into these kinds of builds. It takes a team from start to finish and an owner that's committed to bring it to fruition . I used to work for Clay Cook whom built this one https://www.hotrod.com/features/award-winning-1937-ford-woodie-long-way-beach/ In person these cars are phenomenal and like any cars done at this level it would take days to understand and take in all the little details it takes to compete at that level

Close, Larry Griffiths Provided the slixx decals still work ( fingers crossed )
