The Bud Faubel 1965 AFX Dodge

[gtx6970]

 

A quick build for me. maybe even a record . LoL 

Start to finish in under 2 weeks I think

 

Straight from the box build , with exception I used the Auto trans version of the engine from the Plymouth kit . To more faithfully replicate the original car back in the day 

Tamiya plain red for the exterior. Titanium gold for the Interior 

 

Started off just so see if the decals were even still good. Luckily for me. they went on perfect with zero issues( knocks on wood ) 

 

I tried to stay true to the actual car using vintage photos from old magazines .  Details like the white door window frames on a red body . Wheel choice , etc etc.

 

 

* A builders note 

If I do another one using the rolled front pan. I would cut it off the mounting tabs and glue it to the front side. I dont care for how it makes the bumper fit  per kit instructions.

Fabulous job Bill on this build, especially the paint & decal work and all the little things (AT, wheels, side window frame colors & un-chromed rain gutters) to match the period photos. 
I'm loving all these builds being posted of this excellent new Moebius kit, keep them coming! I need to get off the stick and build and post one and join the AWB A/FX Mopar fanboy club.

Many thanks for the kind words

 

I'm thinking its time to do the Sox Martin Plymouth here soon. Maybe even next 

Just need to make sure my old Fred Cady decal sheet is still good

Great job on my all time favorite Awb car of all time. Bud flew out to Detroit and drove this car back to PENNA . to break in the Hemi . These guys were true renegades back then .
