This is my version of the Melrose Missile factory Plymouth and Thunderbolt converted match racer.  I used two complete Thunderbolt kits to make the altered wheelbase with stretched rear wheel openings.

This a resin 1965 Chevelle altered wheelbase body mounted to a cutdown Revell Chevelle Z-16 kit.  The headers and traction bars are my favorite part of this match racer.

I can't get enough of these Moebius altered wheelbase kits.  This is one of my favorite match race cars, the Fenner Tubbs Plymouth.  This one is supercharged with the engine moved back 8 inches.

For this model, I took the Moebius standard wheelbase Plymouth kit and a Johan Dodge body.  The wheelbase was created by moving the K-member forward 5 inches.

One of my favorites, I took the standard Moebius Comet kit and cut the chassis to move the engine back 28 inches.  I used the doghouse from a funny car kit to mimic Jack Chrisman's Comet.

Another Moebius altered wheelbase kit built for the Sox & Martin team.  This one has the blue tipped injectors and the striped Jere Stahl headers.

One of my favorites.  I took a Model King altered wheelbase Falcon body and mated it to a cut down Moebius Comet chassis.  The engine is the FE from a Thunderbolt kit.

Great group of models!  My first car was a 1964 Comet, needless to say it didn't look anything like your model!

Thanks to mredjr for helping me with the parts needed to finish this one.  This is Don Nicholson's altered wheelbase version of his 1965 Comet Cyclone.  Built with Moebius' Nicholson Comet with the rear axle moved forward 18".

Some very cool stuff here! I especially like the S&M '65. I'm planning to build one of those myself; thanks for the inspiration! Model on! B)
