History Stock-S/S-F/X 1959-1966

Very cool, any plans for a model of Hayden Proffitt's, Dyno Don's or Ed Schartman's '65 Comet?

 

>>>>>One of my faveretes,,

 

I've never seen that picture before. I wonder where that car is today???? What a mind-bender! Check out the exhaust headers!!

 

Verne,
Are you referring to the picture of the red DH '66 Nova? I'm pretty sure that that's replica, not a shot of the original.

Manassas was a short track in the sixties. After that I don't know but I think that it was never lengthened.

Nice work. I'm sure that the original stick cars like Spx & Martin, Leal, Strickler had the Dana rears in them from the start.

>>>>>Guys; that Dick Harrell pic IS a shot of the original ,,here's another one ,,with Dick himself ,,

 

It's a replica,there was something on here a few years ago about it.Not the real deal.

 

Right now we are only doing the '65 Plymouth hartops. It is quite the expense for all the new parts/molds needed to do these, so it's all we can stick our neck out for right now. We do hope to do additional AWB cars, but truly need to sell through at least 75% of these first. With the economy we have our fingers crossed, and hope many will help spread the word.

Easy now, although I myself am pretty excited to see the first race day painted samples in 30 days or so. Then I check for tears.

These are all stick cars, so yes, that very well may be true. Like I said before, we have conflicting research even talking to drivers on some of the items/features of these cars.

Nice DH Nova too...

Will you be doing the Dodge version?

 

>>>>>,Dick Harrell >>Wheels UP !

 

Man I hope so!

 

>>>>,this was raced outa the Dick Harrell Perf Center in Kansas City in the '60's,,the guy had a muffler shop next door ,,moved down here in the late '90's ,,409 w' a B&M P-Glide,,,ran A/FXA

 

This one is the original. The other one is not.
Joel

 

too much tire under the other one.

 

For the 1:18 AWB cars we are only doing the '65 Plymouth hardtops right now. As I mentioned earlier, it's a heck of an expense out of our pockets to do these. If we sell through at least 75% of the cars we currently are offering, then (and only then) will we look into doing any additional cars. Yes we'd like to do the Dodges - but first have to sell many more Plymouths. If you don't mind helping to spread the word, please do so to buddies, car friends, car clubs, etc'.

One more photo of the "sample" in 1:18 scale...


Notice the tail lamp lens are clear on this sample, as are the Satillite rear body trim pieces. Just the Lee Smith car was decorated as a Satillite, and the rest as Belvedere's. We doing our best to replicate them well.

 

I've ordered mine 2 Mules and one each of the rest.I'll have decals made for the early Beeline version of the Golden Commandos,might even get another Mule for the early Lee Smith version that he ran at Beeline.

 

Ordering that many I must hand out a big THANK YOU. I must admit I'm kind of excited to see the actual race day painted samples soon. Will post photo's of them as soon as we can.

 

Anyone have any pictures on the Slaton Shaker car that was built and run by Bob Fulp out of southeast Florida?
Joel

 

Sorry, name doesn't ring a bell. What year & type of car (?) and I can look.

 

#2049--that's an interesting pic of Sox' Comet. By late spring the Comets had switched to the dual scoop hoods and blocked off the headlight openings--but here is Sox in August with the early bubble hood and open headlight induction!!
