When the first Moebius Comet came out, I was looking forward to building the Dyno Don car. Before realizing an A/FX version would be coming out,  I modded the fender wells, and added a cammer, engine to this one. Now I have several Beswick, and Nicholson Comets in my stash.

Hey Tom, can you tell me the source of the engine??

Sure. I’m almost positive it’s from the AMT 1965 Ford Galaxie kit.

I have that same 64 kit too. This is my next car I plan on building, using the parts from the A/FX Dyno Don kit.

A mild custom I did last year. Scratch built spring shackles to raise the rear, the rear tyres are from the AMT '66 Mercury Park Lane.

Yes Eric it certainly does!  Good looking cars all around!

These Comets , '60 % '61 Represent two of my finished builds . Both were Glue Bomb Rescues . Modelhaus parts were used as sources for lost and the missing . NOTE , the 1:1 Taillight lenses on the '69 MU are the exact exact Part Number as the '69 Edsel . IIRC only the date Code switched from 60 to 61 in the FoMoCo Part number . These numbers were embossed into the plastic back in the day .  Externally marking the Model Year . Implemented Industry wide on domestics . I sure appreciate Modelhaus . Don and Carol are such great people . Enjoy . Thanx
