Cleaning out a shed this past weekend for a garage sale and I found a box full of old mopar magazine I had forgot was in there.  I started looking through them during my spare time.  I found this article from about 1995.  I think it shows where Pro-touring got its start.  I don't believe that this was the first official Pro-touring machine, but it was one of the 'switch over' cars.  The stance is not there, but the intent is.  I thought is was kind of neat and thought I would share.  I have larger high res scans if anybody wants them.




Hey Marc, got any of those MPC 'Cudas left?

As I find more fun stuff I will post it.  The magazines are mainly High Performance Mopar and Mopar Muscle.  I also have a bunch of old Custom Rodder magazines I will most likely scan.  I do have the issue with the Mooneyes Toyopet Crown that caused so much controversy in the custom rod world when unvieled.  I will see if I can find the article and scan that one if anyone is interested.  If anybody needs some Mopar reference, let me know and I will see if I have some and scan them in.

Okay, I am working on the testors boxing of the Ferrari 512s.  After a few minor missteps... thanks Cal, I am starting the engine painting.  The directions call for the valve covers to be black.  Most of the pictures I have seen show them gold.  I am leaning towards gold.  Are there any good, complete reference guides on the internet?  I have used google, but after hours of looking at different shots I cannot find a definite, reliable source.

TIA

Hey all, I want to build a replica of the 'Burn Notice' 73/74 Charger.  I have the AMT 71 Charger, which will be a great starting point, but it has the louvered hood.  I need a flat hood and a 440 6 scoop.  Somewhere, I have the Monogram 69 440 Bee, but it is 1/24 not 1/25 of the AMT kit.  Is there a readily available 73/74 Charger or does someone in the aftermarket make a flat hood.  I was planning on filling in the side strakes to make the body, but the hood has me stumped.  Thanks guys
