Mobius Chrysler 300
Posted by Don Stauffer on Thursday, July 4, 2013 9:38 AM

Picked up the stock car version of the Mobius Chrysler 300 yesterday.  A beautiful kit!  Looks at least as good as the Hudson I just finished.  Well over a hundred parts,  the detail is really impressive.  Only goof I found in initial inspection is that it has an automatic transmission and I believe NASCAR cars have always been stick.

Hi Don,

Sorry if I'm hijacking your post, but I read an article in a March, '96 "Car Modeler" about a Dryer Indy car that had your name on it as author. Was that you, and if so, do you still have that car?

Yes, that was me, and no, I don't still have the model. I gave it to a co-owner of the Dryer to display in his engine rebuilding shop.  He specializes in rebuilding antique and collector car engines, especially racing engines.  Last time I visited the shop it was still there.

Hey Don, can you fabricate the stuff to make it a "Stick" ? And if so, are your plans to make it a NASCAR vehicle? I'm just curious.                            Bob

I don't think I will bother, other than to add a clutch pedal. I will not alter the bottom of the actual transmission, except to maybe narrow the pan.  I suspect most people will not notice the shape of the transmission.  The lack of clutch pedal is something else- that is a glaring omission.
