Chris, is your plan to build it box stock? Or go a different route? Btw, I enjoyed that 64 Impala build. I didn’t realize how nice of a kit that one was. I’m going to definitely add that to my want list. Edited May 10, 2019 by Brutalform
gtx6970 Posted May 10, 2019 Posted May 10, 2019 Where is the best place to get both of the AFX comets in one swoop ? best i've found on ebay was nearly $100 with postage for the 2, at that $ I'll do without them

Then people ask ridiculous prices for them. Even the Ford pickups. I order two of every one I buy anymore. I preordered one, and just bought another on eBay. Getting the Dyno Don car shouldn’t be a problem right now, but the Beswick car is getting harder to find. Edited May 10, 2019 by Brutalform

Thanks for the nice words on the Impala, it's a very nice kit.
gtx6970 Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Well, after nearly a year since buying ANYTHING model car related. I pulled the trigger on one of these today as well as the Beswick version. No interest in a stock version.

stavanzer Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Oh Great! I'll be ordering it next month. I cannot wait to see the Video.

I can tell you so far that it's worth an order to make the replica racer. Zero fit issues as is, great detail on the 427. It sure is shoe-horned into that engine compartment. I have some tips on fitting the headers around the motor mounts that you'll see in the video. I have not fit the body to the chassis or gotten the glass in yet so I can't comment if that is good or not. I know Moebius kits always seem to have super tight fitting glass so we'll see.
gtx6970 Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 So , anyone planning the Jack Chrisman Sachs and Son car

Just can’t find a 64 for a decent price. I lost two eBay auctions on the 64s a while back that I had bids on. Edited June 6, 2019 by Brutalform

Fantastic build Gerald. What did you use for the chassis? Thunderbolt? Like I said, I lost out on two of these kits, because they went for more than I was willing to pay at that time. Im going to keep my eyes open for one though.

Brutalform Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Cool. Do you have the new Moebius Dyno Don car? I was wondering if the Moebius chassis could be used under the 64? The T Bolt could be used, but it’s my understanding that it needs a lot of mods.
Brutalform Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 There is one in evil bay right now for like $54 shipped.

I don't know if the Moebius chassis fits under the 64 Comet but the Fairlane Thunderbolt chassis is wrong for a Comet anyway wich is on the Falcon platform, the 62-65 Fairlane shares chassis with only the 61-63 Mercury Meteor. It would be easier to use a chassis from a Mustang or Cougar as they also are based on the Falcon platform.

That was my plan when I get around to building my '64 Comet. I've also used the Revellogram '66 Mustang under a few FoMoCo projects. It's not 100% factory correct but it makes a nice model. Here is the Mustang chassis under my '66 Falcon B/FX project: And the same chassis under my '64 Falcon (Trumpeter) T/A project: Edited June 10, 2019 by afx
