Looks like a safety housing to me Would also help keep the rear axle from rotating upwards

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/shadowolf50/DirectDriveUnit.jpg Found this at Speed City Resins Called a Direct Drive Bell Housing . Appears to be just that, a clutch unit for direct drive with a drive line housing. Not the same function as an"in and out Box" . which just engages it into gear, no clutch.Push start it and go. Not sure how that would work in drag race setup.

Here are a few https://www.google.com/search?q=custom+58+chevy&biw=1304&bih=707&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIv_mss4OYxwIVQ5SICh15hQks https://www.google.com/search?q=custom+58+chevy&biw=1304&bih=707&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIv_mss4OYxwIVQ5SICh15hQks#tbm=isch&q=custom+59+cadillac

That would be easier but at $42.75 plus shipping puts it out of my price range. Would rather do it myself and work on my building skills

This I know but which kit is better ?

Jon, did you thin it with Future? No at that time I thinned it with water. I will try thinning with future on my current build. It will be Pearlized Black base with Gunmetal flake over that. Using a black primer.

What primer did you use? I dry my createx/Autoair with a hair dryer between coats and after the final coat. Then wait 24 hrs more before clearing. Never had a lifting problem only that it takes so much Future to smooth out being that Createx/Autoair dries rough. I had to put on so much future that it looked bloby Used Duplicolor clear and it worked great

Does the Lindberg have a metal body ?

Gotcha... but do you really have that many to choose from? I could only find kits by Revell for anything newer than 2006... Lindberg also makes one

Huh? What Charger isn't already a 2-door? Anything 2006 or newer Wow - am I feeling stupid... I never realized there is a second door back there! So, I take it you want to eliminate the back door and make it a... hatchback, perhaps? No I want to make it into what a real Charger should be, a 2 door sport roof. A hatch back would have a (wait for it).....................................hatch

Huh? What Charger isn't already a 2-door? Anything 2006 or newer

What would be the best kit of the newer Chargers to make into a 2 door? Thanks

I had one of those for the 1:1 67 Comet I was going to fix up. Gave it to the kid that bought the car. Never would of thought it was like gold.

Maybe something Eightyone would have ?

What wheel would work as a modern version of the Vector wheel? This would be for a 2010 Challenger version of the General Lee. Would you use a cell phone antenna in place of the CB antenna ?

Pick me, pick me. Just kidding In my humble opinion they are maybe suitable for Tuner or a Donk but on Classic muscle cars they look "silly". Come to think of it that's probably why I'm not a big Foose fan ,but we all have our own likes and dislikes. If we all liked the same thing it seem kind of boring now wouldn't it.

Yeah me too. Save them for the "Tuners

Thanks. now I got to find a Challenger

I have used several differant clears and all worked well

Wifey picked up a sealed Revell Hot Wheels Kyle Petty Grand Prix today at the Goodwill for $4. Anybody ever do a review of it ? Thanks Jon

Thanks for the info. I still have not read what inaccuracies the MPC kit have to the TV General Lee.

I'm just curious... CAN ANYONE ON HERE READ MY POSTS AT ALL????????????????????? Please let me know. Yes I can see therm and have taken note. I do have a Revell 68 2in1 and a General Lee kit to use . I must have missed it but what is the problem/s withe the body in the General Lee kit. They used different cars for the show, is there a particular version to build too?

What year Challenger? I'll have a Snap GL and a '10 R/T Classic kit at my immediate disposal after work tonight. Not sure of the exact year but one of the new ones, like this

Thats what we will get when Ford and GM merge. A Mustvette or maybe a Corstang ?
