Moebius AWB Mopar Assembly Line - Landy's Car

[papajohn97]

Here's Landy's car, Slixx decal set and painted in Tamiya Silver Leaf lacquer with Tamiya semi-gloss and flat acrylic back. I've always assumed that Landy had a black vinyl roof on this car so I bonded two strips of thin styrene on the roof to indicate seams. Other upgrades are similar to the other builds. I forgot to mention that I had to graft resin TorqueFlite 727 AT's onto the blocks of this car, the Harrop car and the Mr. Norm's car. I'm surprised that Moebius didn't supply an AT version of the hemi with this kit which was more common than the four speed.

A bit of useless info

 

The Landy car was originally built a 4spd

But when he scattered said 4spd very early on.

He robbed the auto trans  from his 64 and carried on

 

Its why this car was campaigned with a dash mounted push button shifter.

Another fantastic job, each car has different changes making each car not just a color and decal change.

Nice work John! I plan on building the Landy 65 AWB Dodge myself at some point.Who makes the resin 727 TouqueFlight transmission?

I didn't know this, thanks! I went with the steering column shifter that came with the kit for this and the other TorqueFlite builds. Landy must have pulled a dash-mounted push-button controller out of a '64, the last year they were offered?
