This was an adventure with Finnigan and they were doing hot laps on a dirt clay track with the old Road KIll Monte Carlo on a NASCAR chassis and a Dodge Charger, a '68 I think, that was built as a race car but never got to the track. They had some how gotten the Charger licensed and they were running against each other. The Charger didn't have the wing and the front end didn't have the nose cone but was sort of a home grown wire mesh tube bumper affair. The interior was gutted with two serviceable seats but everything else was race car all the way. Just an idea or maybe use parts of it. I like the gutted interior part. Was kinda thinking of going that way, everything just painted light gloss gray. Couple seats, roll cage, fire extinguisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was kinda cool as it sat so low that the bell housing was actually dragging at times. Lots of sparks and dust. I just can't believe these guys are getting paid for this stuff. Where did I go wrong in life ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pretty much decided to NOT use a Superbird wing, so don't worry about that at all. I appreciate the assist! I will look around this weekend . Just to confirm this is a Johan body correct ?

bisc63 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Take about three 1/2inch vertical sections out of the body, then 1 horizontal pie wedge added to the quarters, hog out the rear wheel openings, and you've gone all Tom Daniel on it. SuperBored, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually planning to do something very similar to that using the Fireball 500 '66 Barracuda body and the phantom Superbird nose from the MPC '71-'72 Road Runner. I kinda like that wing, though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to correct, though, I said Ton Daniel, but I was thinking Dave Deal. Love 'em both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
