Still, I might get a set of these. Thanks! These were made a few years ago for someone who was building from an original, and that's the color he specified. They can actually be made any color you want.
stavanzer Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Looking through back issues of The Rodder's Journal, makes me think that this little wagon would make an Awesome push car for an early dragster. Borrow the wood push bar from the '65 Chevelle wagon, or scratch build your own. Use some small sponsor decals on the back or side glass, and throw a tool box in the back. Easy-Peasy Nifty Project.

What, is Don Nicholson about 7 feet tall? Am I seeing a 4 lug front end with a 5 lug rear? Some funky front fender flare work and probably some torch work in the rear wheel wells. I'd like to know from any primary source to be sure, but I think this was a '62 fuelie 327 under the hood and a T-10 4-speed. Don't know what the rear is. Front clip paint doesn't exactly match the Ermine White on the rest of the body, so it may be fiberglass. With an unlimited budget and tons of garage space, I think this would be what I would want to build, with no parts made after 1963." The reason for the flared front fenders is because it looks like the front wheels have been moved forward to me. Was that legal in this class or was there a little cheating going on. (imagine that)

My first car was a '63 Chevy II, and it had four lug wheels. Dyno clearly has a beefier rear axle than stock!
niteowl7710 Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 This kit should be in stock at most brick and mortar hobby shops (and probably the bigger mail order places) as of this morning.

TransAmMike Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I'm sure one of the several Dyno Don fans on here will recreate this one.

ChrisBcritter Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Great! Will check with HobbyTown USA and Des Plaines Hobbies tomorrow.

slusher Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Saw a seller selling them already and it wasn’t preorders...
Classicgas Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Tower Hobbies still lists it as pre order.

Don't currently have a site but oddly enough Facebook has put together in the past couple of months a fairly solid online storefront which I use for a small amount of supplemental e-business. Sort of our starting point that if it grows enough we'll move to a full blown dedicated page and online storefront. We do really well with our local customers in Northeast Ohio thankfully.
1972coronet Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I pre-ordered one after I pre-heated the oven , but before I pre-boarded a flight .
ChrisBcritter Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Three strikes - checked HobbyTown USA in Northbrook, Des Plaines Hobbies, and Hobby Lobby in Deerfield; not there yet. No more shipments until next week.

slusher Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Seems strange that eBay vendors have it before all the big internet hobby shops like modelroundup and eBay vendors are cheaper also.
ranma Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Ebay seller automodels2 has sold out, Thankfully I ordered mine from them before they sold out. The last buyer bought the last 6 of the '63 Nova wagons. Edited January 12, 2021 by ranma
