stewart Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) I am starting the Revell Plymouth Prowler and I have a couple of options. First, I could go with moon dish wheels, a chevy small block, and log manifold as pictured The manifold I would do The other option is a modern hot rod with the kit supplied v-6 and some kind of fancy induction, as well as the wheels pictured. I would probably also do some kind of a body treatment like this. The paint color is not decided yet for either but I am eyeing my bottle of Plum Crazy purple.

uncle potts Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Go with the moons in some bigs and littles, and a newer powerplant. Also look at something other than purple for a color. Go with something that complimentes the wheels. Just my narrow minded pin headed opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58 Impala Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Moon wheels and V8 definitely. I think Plymouth should have found a way to stuff a V8 in the Prowler in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewart Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Wheel and tire combo. Its going to be slicks with steel wheels and dog dish hubcaps. Still not sure about color theme. Have to think about that one a little more. http://s969.beta.photobucket.com/user/Hemifan22/media/Plymouth%20Prowler/SAM_0486_zps1f83c722.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Large engine components in place. Time for detailing. http://s969.beta.photobucket.com/user/Hemifan22/media/Plymouth%20Prowler/SAM_0484_zpscb74991d.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 PS.

tubbs Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 i like the second option. i would go with a brighter color too. my opinion. not to steal anything, but here is a link to one i have been doing for years. 392 blown hemi, big-n-littles. street rod flavor.....you may have to scroll down a few picts to get there..... have fun with it, i will be watching..... http://s700.photobucket.com/albums/ww10/tubbs1969/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Well... I have one in the works that will be powered by a Plymouth flathead six, so I can't suggest that. I'd go with a variation on option 1- but I'd flush the small block Chevy down the nearest toilet and put that log manifold on a more deserving engine- something like a 392 Chrysler Hemi. Or if you really want to get kinky, an Ardun-equipped Flathead. It would be cool to keep the stock V6- maybe hop it up with a Paxton blower, or make up a manifold with mechanical injector stacks.

johnbuzzed Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I like the rat rod idea; I may "borrow" it for my build. Have you considered a 340 6 bbl from the Ertl Duster kit? Small block Chevy headers should fit that w/little if any problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
