3men2s Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Have been very busy with life in general and less time at the bench but not out of the hubby. Here is what I am working on. It is a replica of the Nostalgia Drag Racing P/S Colt. The owner of the real car Bob Mayerle reach me to make him a model of his race car. So far this is where I am. Using spare parts and aftermarket pieces I think this can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Same question..... "What was the starting point for the body? Camaro?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3men2s Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 The body is a resin Dodge Colt that I got from Southern Motorsports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Henderson Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Nice start. are you going to dress the motor up a bit to look like a Dodge Wedge? Maybe at least put the distributor in the front? Your build looks like you got the look nailed. GREAT job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggreenponcho Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I heard these Colts were absolute terrors to drive. Very unpredictable, but what would you expect with that short of a wheelbase and stupid amounts of power? Great topic, I look forward to seeing the finished result!

Rob Hall Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I bet this Pro Street Colt I saw Saturday was a wild drive. I should have taken a closer photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince66 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) I built a 76 street colt with a 440 dual quad set up and lenko 5 speed linkage sold the car 2 weeks after breaking it in WILD DOESN'T describe this little car a 318 would make it go quick 440 made it an insane pro street. 1999 the last time i drove it a camaro challenged me went shoulder to shoulder when it broke loose next day it was up for sale. Sold it then went stock car racing on the roundy round and road courses. Neat build you have going on.
