yellowsportwagon Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) This is a AMT 66 442 kit. I lowered it and built the under hood bars from scratch. Has PPP wheels and tires. Intake from a 69 Hurst Olds. Carb from an AMT NASCAR kit. Radiator from an old Johan Torino. Homemade radiator hoses. Deacals are from Dave Van! Still need to add rear #s and a couple odds and ends.

If you are talking about the little fairings in the sides they are aluminum. I cut one of those cheap aluminum roasting pan lids up. Costs 2 bucks and lasts forever.

Lunajammer Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 This looks really cool. I wasn't familiar with this kind of Olds in NASCAR. I quite like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure you could run an Ambassador from AMC in 1966 and it or a Rebel for the 1967-69 seasons. Although I think only Larry Hess' #44 was the only AMC ever run in '66 those American Motor Cars were eligible.

yellowsportwagon Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 I’m sure you are right but I don’t know if any AMC’s were run in 67. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJake Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I am sure you are right that no sporty Ramblers were run in '67. According to the rule book they were eligible is all I am pointing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
