Try Albion tubing. they make very small tubing is brass and aluminum.

If my noodle still works correctly the 4 spd cars got the Dana and the Automatics got the 8 3/4 originally. Now that's not to say that the racers didn't update to the Dana later on. Also, that 74 Duster of his actually ran Modified Production. Even has it on the windows btw. Car is still around and has been restored by HemiDenni on Facebook. (spelling?) Quite a lot of work was done to it. not to the level of the Missle wire car but there was some stuff done to fit bigger tires yet retain the chassis rails for example. Paul "I’ll use one of the spare rears from the Hemi Dart kit. Trying to find out if this car had an 8.75, or a Dana? I might have it mocked up tomorrow. "

Printed out the correct tire for the front end....

Printed a dual filter setup. Had to add a bracket to the chassis to mount it and touch up chassis color. Re alcladed the rear end. Machined bolt head pins to hold it to the chassis. Threaded the "studs" into the hub to check fit with the rim. Onto the next portion of this project....

Thanks Tim, I've had a lot going on lately, so it's been nice to be back building even for a little bit. I was pretty disappointed in the old chassis color which set me back a bit. While a cool color it wasn't what the real one wore so I set it aside. I really would like to finish this by the end of the year. Still, lots to do. In fact, I just ordered a bunch of 1:1 scale AN fittings in various sizes, so I can model them up in SolidWorks. (What the hell was I thinking.... HAHA) I need to cad the fuel tank and I think that's it. Sadly, the only kit parts are the severely hacked up body, the bellhousing, oil pan and the brake calipers from the old Aurora FC kit. The rest is all 3d printed or aftermarket lol. I hadn't planned on going this far with it, but one thing has led to another. At this point the last thing is the gas tank as mentioned and everything, but detail bolts and fittings/hoses are done! All that's left to do is build lol. Thanks for checking it out! Paul

Minus the hardware, the front of the engine is done. Need to add a bracket to the chassis for the filter block so I'll touch up the chassis once thats done.

Pulled this one out of moth balls lol. Repainted the chassis a more correct grey color. Resprayed the long block and finally painted the midplate

Nice job! The kit is a pain in the behind to build but with some patience and lots of cleanup it buids up nicely! Paul

Nice to see you back on and on this thing again Tim! what did you use for the bead roller? I have an idea for one, I just have to proof it out first!

Yeah, I started going though projects started myself and taking stock of what's what. A few have been moved so many times that all the pieces aren't even together with the model anymore lol. It's definitely time I take care of old projects or get rid of them. Not getting any younger here haha. Anyway, can't wait to see this thing finished!

Really outdone yourself with this build Daniel! On top of it it's really nice to see this ancient build moving along at a steady pace with updates. I remember when this project start oh so long ago. Like many of my builds that have been moth balled lol. Paul

Nothing to my mail box in AZ yet either..... I'd hoped it would be here when I got home from our Thanksgiving trip since it was hitting the mail at the beginning of the month supposedly.

Some might think this thing has been forgotten but nope.... Working on the Penske shocks to 4 link mounting. Have some pieces I need to machine to make it look proper but it's otherwise exactly what I was looking to do!

They can be either male or female. We ran a male on the Lenco altered we ran in comp Elim when I worked there.
