If early to mid sixties is what you are trying to replicate, go with a Chrys. 8 3/4 or one of those Olds style diffs. from the Revell, Anglia. The quick change from the Revell, Austin Gasser would also be fine. The way that you describe the chassis indicates that this car may be more dragster than roadster. If so, don't use any rear suspension or traction devices. The diff. housing would have been most likely been bolted directly to the frame rails.
If you could post a pic of a similar car, I might be of more help.

Now that I want to scan the pictures, I can only find 1 of the 3 I had.  Here it is:



Thanks for all the help.

It all depends on what era of model you are building. The cars back in the mid 60's use Chysler 8 3/4's. (especially popular in the dragsters till the 9" fords came out) Quick changes were popular in the later era street roadsters and such I believe. 9" fords have been used in everything since the late 60's. Ladder bars are a popular 70's era thing I think.

Thank you very much.  I am guessing 60's.  What type of suspension with the Chrysler 8 3/4'?  Would you happen to know a kit or resin Chrysler 8 3/4?

Thanks again.

Great job!

Very nice.  Please post more details.  Which chassis, hood, tires, etc.

I tried denatured alcohol on a resin part and it did destroy it.
