caine440 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 This is my first build in almost a year. Being a new dad really cut into the bench time. This is a resin kit from Bandit resin. I messed up the paint several times so this is as good as this one is going to get. I had several fit up issues but I am ok with how it turned out. Thanks for looking
Daddyfink Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Very nice! That will look great in your already impressive collection!
Rob Hall Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Sweet...love those drag Mopies of that era. I saw this 1:1 at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale back in January.. Edited July 4, 2014 by Rob Hall
booboo60 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Looks great Roger, paint is sweet, hey, SnM is a tough paint job for anyone, fine Cuda
Bruno Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Ah that's very nice Roger! I'm also building the '68 S&M Barracuda right now, my favorite S&M Car
AZ Boy Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Great job Roger! You can't help but love those Sox and Martin cars.
1972coronet Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) That's a super Super Stock , Roger ! That first photo looks like it's from Orange County International Raceway ( US 101 / I-5 , Irvine : 1967-1983 ) , judging by the EMPI wall banners ( ). Didn't S&M campaign a SS/D Barracuda 340 in 1968 as well ? Edited July 4, 2014 by 1972coronet
gtx6970 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Didn't S&M campaign a SS/D Barracuda 340 in 1968 as well ? I know they had a 340 car,,but don't know what class it ran. And I dont think the car ever had the typical red - white and blue S+M paint scheme. Best I can remember the car was all white. But I could be wrong. Edited July 4, 2014 by gtx6970
Truck parts Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Roger, very nice build.Looking forward to seeing more builds.
MADmodelDOCTOR Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Not a Sox&Martin fan, but always liked this one. Great job!
caine440 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 I guess you could say I am a fan. My son is named Ronnie,
nitro norman Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Great job ! I saw this car race at Blaney Dragstrip when I was a kid. This is the car I wish Revell would do.
Speedfreak Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Very Cool Rodger! I too Love the old Super Stock cars.
Burnout Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Very nice work Roger! As a new dad, I'm surprised you have any bench time!
gtx6970 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Cool build. If I may ask, why the blue engine. ? I know pics of this car back in the day can be a bit tough to find. But every pic I've seen of this car the engine was orange
caine440 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 Jake King painted the Sox & martin Hemis blue. I have not been able to tell if and when they ever were orange. Up to 1970 I have found they were blue. I used the magazine photos I have a for reference. The cover of SuperStock June 1968 has a nice photos of the motor. Thanks for asking.
Force Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) As far as I know Jake King painted the engines he built for Sox & Martin Ford Engine Blue as a homage to his own time racing Ford's and to easily identify his work. Jake drove the Atwater Ford Thunderbolt before he joined Sox & Martin. I have pictures from back in the day when Ronnie Sox were still active of Sox & Martin 68 Barracuda's running in SS/A, SS/B, SS/D, E/SA (340 car), FX, A/MP and Pro Edited July 5, 2014 by Force
