I stand corrected . What next some "Prius Rap" ?? I would rather listen to "Schlock Rod"

This gives you a rough idea of what the shape is. Front half needs the sides blended into the back. The back has the general shape of the roadster . Roy Brizio's build of the Kookie T

T Touring body is basically flatter across the back where it was cut off behind the seat back . My plan is to add sharper corners to a roadster body

That would be interesting, Main problem would be making the front half of a 22 Touring body. Not sure if they could use that in any other kits. A resin body would be very helpful but again would the market be there to justify the cost.

WHAT no "BEEP BEEP" by the Playmates ???

That's before it became the "Kookie Car", then it was the "Lightnin Bug“

Story goes that Tommy snuck into Norms garage and got the measurements from the Kookie T so he could build his T. They had a good rivalry going that ended in a drag race.

Thanks for posting the link with all the great pictures. One of my future builds will be to duplicate the original as much as possible One of the hardest things to duplicate is the front half of a 22 Model T Touring car. From what I can find, no one has kitted a T Touring suitable. The exhaust will also be a challenge

I believe it was available to the public but may not have been with the Hemi only the Max Wedge

The Little Old Lady from Pasadena song's car in my opinion was a Red 64 Super Stock Dodge 426 4 speed . Song came out in 64 and lyrics were "Brand New Shiny Red Super Stock Dodge. My version I used the Ramcharger Dodge kit but since it came as an automatic I swapped the parts I needed to convert it to a four speed from the Petty Plymouth' My next "song" build will be the Hot Rod Lincoln Another interesting build would be the Super Stock Dodge withe 413 in "Shut Down"

this is what a real one looks like

Replicas & Miniatures has a "crab " style distributor cap that you maybe able to mount on a regular distributor body and get what you are looking for

Final finished my Track Nose Model A. I call it "Norm's Rod" because of all the parts I used from R&M.

Thanks I will check the above mentioned venders, I will call Norm Monday, I have a order I am going to make soon to R&M Thanks for the info

I picked up a wheel set from R&M and now that I have measured them I don't seem to have any tires to fit them. I did not see any that size on Norms catalog (I will call him tomorrow to double check) The rear wheel OD is .817 and width is .348 and the rear OD is ,719 and width is .267. I can't remember if I have seen any after market companies that carry that Hot Rod style tires . Thanks for any information Jon

First of all I don't build for contests, I build for myself. I enjoy doing the work and the challenge of trying to improve on and improve my skills and the "next" build. I try and get each one perfect but there is always something that didn't go well. If I tried to get each one perfect they would never get finished. .

Waiting to check out the Round 2 Hemi Under Glass withe 66 Barracuda that was soon to be released.

There are a couple in progress pics (it's current state) on my model Facebook Page. Link at the bottom of my posts

My current build is Track Nose Model A, The engine is entirely Norms stuff. Flathead, Scot Blower, Ardun Heads, headers for the Ardun heads, Magneto with the "Crab" style dist., a pair of Stromberg 97's with a finned air cleaner. The interior has his seats and door handles. Used his Artillery wheels and tires and his fuel cap and his 39 Ford tail lights. Maybe I should call it "Norms A"

There are 3 fotki pages that show some of his offerings, Some of those are not available any more, Norm told me he has discontinued the bodies and 32 ford frames due to worn molds. Order his latest price sheet it will have his current items plus some new ones not on the fotki pages. The fotki pages were put up by some of his customers and are greatly appreciated. https://public.fotki.com/crstan/replican-and-miniat/replicas-and-miniat/ https://public.fotki.com/mamaprez/model-car-aftermark/replicas--miniature/ https://public.fotki.com/IceMan555/resin-archives/replicas-miniatures/all/?fbclid=IwAR2Z3142hojqyggArtOuQxWTCsGcaY3tkUCfKpweiB93VTqsOHki81EOBnk His latest price sheet RMCM-2019-Price-List-New-Releases-Order-Form-1-File.pdf

If you need ice for that cooler http://www.larrygscale.com/Bulk-Miniature-Ice-12-Ounce-for-your-Model-Trains-Settings-Modeling-Dioramas-_p_379.html

And it has a Flathead that's a plus

Looks great. I have two of the bodies and firewalls and the up top. One will be full fendered with the top and the other one open and fenderless. Plan using the beds from the Revell 29 .
