Mr NORMS GRAND SPAULDING BLOWN RED & SILVER “ 65 “AWB A/FX DODGE

[M W Elky]

This one is not the usual Moebius build as I had this jimmy Flintstone resin body laying around. So I prepped it and gave it a paint job of Testors diamond dust and Tamyia Italian red lacquer then topped it off with a couple of coats of clear. Then I rummaged through my vast assortment of spare parts to find all the needed parts . 
Johan 1964 petty Plymouth ; interior tub , dash   And seat

AMT 1968 road runner : chassis plate , 1969 galaxie : main roll bar hoop , old pro nova back crager S/S wheels , AWB Chevy 2 front tires + steering wheel , 1933 Willy’s blower intake , 1963 corvette blower parts , Mach Won F/C injector hat , 1937 Chevy front axle 

lindburg little red wagon : stock rear leaf springs cut down and used on the front

polar lights : front wheels 

MPC 1972 Sox&Martin cuda : Hemi block and trans + valve covers 

Moebius : grill , slicks , windshield  , chute , hood

Revell Hemi Dart : rear , front subframe , firewall

Headers : custom made with solder and aluminum tubing 

decals by Joe Curtis at freemont resin

This is my favorite version of the Mr Norm 65 Awb Dodges I always liked the red and silver paint combo along with the big font lettering down the sides .I had a lot of fun accumulating the parts and fitting it all together . The body master was made from the original amt kit and it looks really nice maybe just slightly nicer proportions then the Moebius body .

Great job Mike on the two-tone paint scheme and those scratch-built headers! I also love this red & silver version of the Mr. Norm match racer but am burned out doing AWB '65 Mopars (5 is my limit for the year!) so I'll settle for admiring yours. Look's like that wheel-stand launch you did in the 2nd from last photo torqued the drive shaft right off!!! Cool build!!!!

I feel your pain....I've been building a 1/12 Tamiya bike (a Ducati 1199) lately to revive my modeling mojo....after all the 1/25 engine detailing fiddly parts these 1/12 motorcycle parts are nice & big and easy to find on the floor when they go flying off my tweezers! Tamiya kits practically build themselves. Take a break from the Mopars soon and go build yourself a large scale car. That 1/12 scale Revell '69 Camaro Z-28 looks like a sweet candidate.

Another Fantastic build of a NHRA Legend. Sort version. Growing up in The Grand-Spaulding neighborhood. On the way home from school, I would ride my bike to Mr. Norms to look at all of the cars.

Mike: How many of Mr. Norms cars have you built?
