“ BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 102 DICK LANDY’S 1966 DODGE DART FUNNY CAR

M W Elky · April 10

I built this a few years back and just used the slixx decals which are only close as they were made for the 64-65 cars . Woopiekat abruptly closed up shop before I could get the right set from them . Then along comes Joe Curtis of FREEMONT RESIN to the rescue so scraped off the slixx decals and on went the freemont’s . So I will now move it to the finally done shelf . Although not the most detailed build I think it really captures the jacked up Landy look . This is the earlier version before he lowered the back half of the car and radius the rear wells .So here’s the parts list

altered states resin body : (NOW AVAILABLE FROM JOE @ FREEMONT RESIN ) it’s very well done

AMT 1967 Dyno Don awb comet funny car : the back half of the chassis and interior panels cut down to fit

Polar Lights funny car any mopar will do : front half firewall forward of the chassis, engine , transmission, fuel and water tanks front wheels and tires

AMT Double Dragster kit : headers , injected intake manifold I used the valley cover paired with the carb mounting blocks from the 8 carb set up the injector stacks are parts box items left over from the AMT 66 Mustang funny car kit .

Testors : diamond dust silver

FREEMOMT RESIN : decals , the window decals are parts box

clear blue sheet plastic/ .010 clear styrene sheet : windows

AMT OLD PRO NOVA : Crager S/S rear wheels

this was a very fun and rewarding project and not to hard even for a novice or someone just getting familiar with working with a resin body . It’s even better now that everything is easily available until next time thanks for looking, Mike
