OR, even maybe one of the earliest "match-race" cars, with a standard wheelbase and an injected engine...... (some rare examples may be found on the old GEORGE KLASS REMEMBERS, if you can get it to come to in the archives). Or if you're still bent on a SS/ car, build your wedge engine as a 383..... DJ ps- still watching 😎

The old Max-Wedge motors were a "force-to-be-reckoned-with", will make a fantastic old Super/Stocker!!!! Will be watching!!!! Only issue: Hemi engines were replacing Wedges in later-1964..... (had just noticed you were using a '65 kit) Will still make an interesting build!!! DJ

Will be watching...... The early SS/ and FX/ cars were some of my favorites too. Are you building the pre-supercharged era , or the short spa when a few of the cars came up with blowers yet still maintained the full wheelbase? DJ

LEI, AMT 34 Ford Coupe, front & rear bumpers, to the Post Office when I go into town in the morning. Look forward to seeing a WIP. DJ

Can bail you out, PM me your mailing info, and will get them to you. DJ

Car or pickup???

Another great project!! These "slammer-type" frames (which, like the real Tri-Five frames) lend themselves to lots of projects. Really enjoy watching the upgrades you're doing Bob. DJ PS: RON COON stuff sure helps "upgrade" the builds, am a BIG fan of his!!!!

That rates a 10 on the cool-scale!!!! DJ

Enjoy watching your progress Bob, quality work!!! DJ

DITTO!!! This thing is right up your alley!!! DJ

The bulk of the colors can actually be "tinted" (at least slightly) by the "darkness" of the primer you choose to use as the base coat, dark colors not so much, but light colors can change a lot. EVERYONE has a different method to obtain the finish/shade they are after, and I've always been all about "what-ever-works-for-you"....... from past experience, have always chosen white primer under brighter/lighter colors and gray under darker colors to try to obtain "depth". If you are REALLY trying to end up with "something to take pride in", I would definately side with the guys who are suggesting the test panels to acquire exactly the color-depth/tone you want for your end result. GOOD LUCK, we are watching to see how you come out. DJ

351 and 4-spd would be cool, you have room for most anything you want to run, even a 427/4spd..... Any choice will be great!!!! (Watching the progress) DJ

Looking GOOD!!!! DJ

Good subject matter!!!! Will be watching..... Whatcha gonna use for engine/trans???? DJ

Nice job on the Vega!!!! Like all the improvements...... DJ

STEVE, Gotcha covered, PM me your mailing address and will put it in the mail. DJ

VERY INTERESTING!!!!!! I too have a few of these just setting around, may have to try building a "stretch" wheelbase/twin-screw truck outta one of them. GREAT WORK Sam!!! Will be watching.... DJ

STEVEN, Let me look, should be able to help you out, as none of the real trucks that I drove when I was young, had any automatic transmissions, (and that is all that I build)..... Will look this evening. DJ

DITTO!!! I use the Tamiya products right along with each other (and knock on wood) have never run into any of the problems that you are having..... Also, I never leave the tape on longer than 30-45 minutes so that it doesn't "grow" onto the model. Hope you get your problem solved, the Sox & Martin cars make great additions to anyone's collection. DJ

Cool project!!! Will be watching the progress...... DJ

COOL ole round-tracker!!!! L O T T A Camaros ended up serving their last days on the dirt tracks across America........ DJ

These things are just plain W I L D !!!!!! Great job!!!! DJ

Exceptional job, TONY!!!! Keep up the good work, DJ

Now that is W I L D !!!!!! Would have been right-on in the mid-60s/early 70s!!!!! Enjoy your creative skills and building. DJ

Really coming right along!!!! VERY COOL!!!! DJ
