“BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 99 MR. NORM’S SUPER CHARGER 1966-67 DODGE CHARGER FUNNY CAR

[M W Elky]

This is one that I built 9 years ago with  out decals being available. Then along came Joe Curtis at Freemont Resin to make this great new decal sheet, and I finally get to finish it off. So a BIG THANKS OUT TO JOE . As for the build a lot when t into it I started out with the body from the revell charger kit and sliced and diced it to move the front wheel openings forward . The rest of the body is stock . I used a polar lights funny car for the donor kit for the chassis , interior tin , and engine . I made the roll bar from.080 styrene rod . The paint is testors diamond dust silver with Italian red lacquer topped with wet look clear. I know the magazine cover is a little bit of a stretch with just a small black and white photo how ever inside is a really well done informative article on Gary Dyer with some great reference photos of Mr. Norm’s cars . A few of which fall onto my very urgent to build list . Which means like mabe this year hopefully. Until next time thanks for looking, Mike

I forgot all about this cover until I came across it while digging through the collection for another project. This issue is a great reference source for this build
