Update on the chassis trunk details. Coming long nicely, working on the gas tank.

Wow! That would fill quite a gap in the resin offerings, with all the interest in the vintage drag cars out there. Would even make an easy conversion to a two door, as the side apertures are the same on 2 and 4 door cars.

Spectacular! Yes, I do hope you allow a resin caster to make copies, as well.

I take it you're attempting to replicate the Savoy wagon in the pictures?

Thanks Charlie. Yes the white Savoy is the basis of my research. I am making it as close to a kit for possible resin. We shall see.

Excellent fabrication and kit bashing skills!

I would love to see some of these old Mopars issued as new toolings. Chrysler had some delightfully quirky design trends back then.

Been making some progress on my 62 Plymouth wagon. The 413 Max Wedge engine is from a bunch of parts from different kits but the valve covers and manifold are resin. The manifold is one I made as a master that Missing Link casted. Those carbs are from Fireball, Joseph is the best for added detail and are highly recommended. The firewall and fender panels are from the Lindberg Dodge kit but modified for accuracy, they are resin as well. Interior door panels and base is a very close fit. Dashboard will have a separate gauge panel and center speaker grille.  Hope you like the progress.

Lots of good detail on the engine, the body is coming along nicely too.

Looking good.

The 413 Max Wedge is just about done, needing the starter and TorqueFlite trans.

Next up is the Hemi race engine with cross ram and carb details. The Johan valve covers were stripped and painted with Valspar Brilliant Silver spray can, just the right shade. The carb stacks have Detail Master p/e round speaker grilles and thin foam. Fireball's Holley 3116 carbs. Cross ram manifold is from Missing Links.
