madhorseman Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Hey if anyone is looking for Wimbledon White, I used Tamiya TS7 Racing White for a '65 Nascar Galaxie that I built, and it looks like a good match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMBC Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I built this one using Testors maroon. It seemed dark, but after clearing it, it looked close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhorseman Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Or you can buy Duplicolor Wimbledon White. That's cool Oscar, is it available in auto parts stores? And which ones? What I've seen in the auto parts stores in my area are fewer touch up paints and color choices in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterbog Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 chris,all these cars were delivered with borg warner 4 speed trans. a lot of borg warner cars(and ford hx automatics) changed over to the ford toploader 4 speed trans when it was available later in 1964 and approved by the nhra for s/s.the tasca car raced all of 1964 with the borg warner trans.all cars came with a single exhaust system with a united auto supplied monroe "gold tone" muffler which satisfied nhra rules in s/s and a/fx.7" slicks in s/s and 10" in a/fx.aluminum front bumper in s/s and a fiberglass front bumpers and doors could be used in a/fx.when match racing the rules usually did not apply.these cars ( and others with aluminum and fiberglass body parts ) were not legal in s/s in 1965.
