Maybe a cross between these two in this color

The wife has a good eye for finding things for me such a new or old Hotwheel Mustang or Mopar. She seems to find these kits at the Goodwill often (after I walk past them). She always asks me to buy or not and knows a few end up as "Parts". There is no emotional connection to a Pink Cad so I am free to do as I like with it. Still like the shorten thing with a Hemi , dropped with rubber band tires. I will keep you in mind highway if I don't use the stock ones

Not that sounds interestig

The Wife came home from the Goodwill store with a Monogram 59 Pink Caddy kit. Complete partially built (engine, interior and chassis) unpainted and a clean job of gluing. For $3 is kinda of cool but I am not much on Cads. I thinking maybe drop a Hemi in it with some of those rubber band wheels and tires, dropped in to the weeds with some kind bright flake paint (maybe pink). Any ideas ?

Graveyard Cars.Since I a building Mopars at this time I can get a lot of reference material from watching it.

I gave up on trying drill the tiny holes and now just buy the Arrowhead Aluinum pre-wired. Come in several color and style choices and look the most realistic

My local Hobbytown has a good selection of kits general at higher prices. Very little accessories for models. I am able to order aftermarket parts such as Model Car Garage and receive it in a reasonable amount of time with out the shipping charges

Thanks. BMCP doesn't help much if you don't know what the letters represent.

Is there a link to BCMP ? Can't seem to find it. Thanks

Owner retired. I don't think anyone planned on reopening as a hobby shop since they clearanced out all their stock

Bridgetown is now a Pot shop Tammies is about your best bet in the Portland area

Thanks just found it

And I believe I'm free to post a link without any accompanying comments I am trying to remember the name of the movie where a couple and their daughter were driving across the dessert and some evil Hot Rodders were harassing them . Never mind Hot Rods to Hell 1967

If you are going to be near Yakima WA on the Aug 4-7 S.A.B.A. is putting on an event there .

427 OK . I am not a Chevy guy I just want to build a 64 with the 427 hood, glassed in headlights and the side pipes for my fishing buddy I have Monogram 65 Street machine and was wondering if I would need the 63? The hard part will be finding 10" Ansens for the front and 12" Ansens for the back

What would it take to build a 64 with the 426 stinger hood with a 327 engine ?

Not a lot of good Hobby stores around Portland anymore. Tammies is about the best. Hobby Town on the east side but carry mostly just kits and very few accessories. Coyote Hobby in Oregon City (on Main St) carries some kits not as many as Hobby Town but better prices.

I went to my first race at Half moon bay when I was 13 or so, would be in the early 60's. Only remember two things, almost getting ran over be a Wiilys running across the staging lanes and watching Tommy Ivo's Show Boat make a run. After that back to Oregon where I went to few at PIR and Woodburn but didn't get into it much. Like I said I will build it the way I like it but thanks for all the information .Never to old to learn.

I guess it actually doesn't matter to me. I like the look and will be building something similar in the future. Just call it a "Nostalgia" racer. I build for myself anyway tr not to worry to much about "correctness" on the all builds.

From what I found out so far it was raced in the 60's and 70's. It seems to have a two buckets and some upholstery. Not sure but the the crank had to be at or below 24" to the ground. This looks a bit to high. Cant find much on tire width rues for 60's

Not sure of the interior but something like this

So what class would a 64 Belvedere with a straight axle, blown Hemi and real wide slicks, one racing bucket seat, no other interior and a roll cage run ?

Ever try and blow out a flare?

I'm not sure so I won't respond
