  1. You might consider looking for a rough Ambassador promo or friction. They are generally more common and cheaper than the Rebel kits, and all of those parts should fit with minor adjusting at most.

  2. Jim, if you do find a replacement body, I could use your warped one to repair the rear wheel wells on one that I have, the previous owner chopped them out for slicks.

  3. After going through the demo derby like that, I was expecting to see a wreck. That ain't no wreck, it's pretty mint, and just in time for the great Pro Street renaissance. Great build, great stance, and it nails The Look.

  4. Very nice! I have wanted to build one of these for a long time as well, I have numerous Monogram Fox engines and a Tamiya curbside kit, so a bit of surgery is in order.

  5. A few days ago, I got a package in from Tokyo, a 1:43 scale diecast '60 Falcon made in Japan by Taiseiyako, also known as Taiseiya, in the Cherryca Phenix line. These came in green and blue, are very rare, and I've wanted one since the '80s when I saw one listed in an antique toy value guide. Diecast was still fairly new to Japan in the early '60s, so these are sort of primitive in some areas, but they are loaded with charm. Pictured next to a Trax Australian Falcon in the same scale, you can see how far diecast manufacturing has come in the last 50+ years.

    The Daytona used the Charger 500 body. They had time to do those and only had to build 500 of them. The rules changed after that car was built. They did not have time to build the required cars before the season started. They barely had enough race car bodies too. Pic just for you. lol I bet not everyone gets that.
