Features Altered Wheelbase Picture Thread

Well the original S&M AWB was cut up in the 60's so it wasn't that one and Fred never owned my old car (the restored converted SS car).I spoke to him about the car years ago when we did the worlds fastest 65 Ply deal at Monster Mopar.I don't recall where he said he got the car.There were quite a few around.It was very cool but quite a handful.

 

Here's one I wish was a real find . . .

We all would like to know the answer to that one.Strange deal the 66 cars, only one still out there as far as I have been able to tell.I found a really oddball one about 15 yrs ago in the Detroit area but it disappeared.A local car nothing like the 10 or so "factory" cars.There likely is a few more out there somewhere.

 

Tell me more

 

Photoshopped it as it's one I'd love to build - this was an as-found pic of an old four door and I think it looks cool, as if a real AWB was unearthed after a long nap.

Nice job

 

I sure would like to see some more history on this car and alan green chevrolet.

 

i believe the car was built from a stocker didnt have any history i had the mopar collectors guide article that touted the then new metro molded parts plymouth awb

i could be wrong

 

One of my Thunderjet Drag builds

 

Very KOOL! Is that a resin cast body or one you modified?

Marty

 

the ex- landy dart picture was indeed his last altered wheel base car. it was sold to omaha mopar racer gene kidder(pictured), gene moved to fl. took the car with him and had a very bad crash in it, totaling it. gene now resides with his lovely wife susan in ky. and still works tech at beech bend. he has also been inducted into the nebr. raceing hall of fame.

 

While not old, its still great to find pictures of my old Dart drag racing over in England:

 

Thanks! That is a resin cast Marty. I still have to make windows for it!

 

That is one of the Bill Thomas? built fastback Novas.IIRC maybe 5-6 built.

 

Tell me more about this slot car! I can't afford a real alteredwheelbase.

 

Got mine primed this weekend.

 

Coming along nicely Funnycar65

 

Big time progress! I know that has to be very satisfying. Looks good.

 

I can't even tell you how good it feels to be at this point.Still got a long ways to go though.

 

Thats looking great funny65, primers a long way off for me but got the tunnel and floor braces sorted and the rear spring pads in so I can sheet it all in soon

 

Few Funnies and AWB's

 

The last of the good looking Dutchman cars...IMO, of course.
