426 pack

Wow there are some cool cars and gives me some ideas. Snake that is amazing that that survived for 49 years. I see the hood looks like it opens what motor dose it have?

That sounds good to me although the Monaco is not doing to good........I knew the HEMI wouldn't be good on gas

Got this today going to be my cannonball run project for next year.

The 68-70 dodge charger is my #1 favourite muscle car and I thought it would be cool to see what everyone has biult them like and maybe get some insperation for some future builds Here are my 3 dodge chargers that I have built over the past couple of years. The first one has a 440 6pack, 4speed and back tires from the revell 32 ford kit. the second one is a fast and furious replica with a blown HEMI and the third one is a rusted out one that I was going to build as a show car but I messed up the paint and biult it as a parts car.

Here are some new pics of some of my collection

What about the ford 427 DOHC with the spark plugs on the top of the valve cover or the dual spark plug HEMI with 2 distributors

Here's my collection. There are some more in my collection now and they are all in different spots.

We'll good luck. I have the same problem every model that comes in gets open and I do a little bit of work on it then I get board and start another project.thr pic below is all my kits that I have and all of them are started (I have got more since the pic was taken)

You are doing a great job so far and I will be watching to see how it turns out. I was looking a this pic from the first movie and by the looks of the oil pan it is a big block Mopar engine (383, 400 or 440) and the block is blue so it's not a 426 HEMI, the early HEMI's had a different oil pan and the ls3 had a different oil pan. The transmission is a 727 3speed auto. I hope this helps

Here's a mockup pic 24"x15"x10"

Thanks David I have looked at your diorama multiple times and it look great. I got the foam board and I am able to make the diorama bigger so the new dimensions will be 24", wide 15" deep and 10" tall. I will be using some sort of wood for the base and I am unsure what to use the little 6x10 chunk on the corner of the foam board maybe an office or a parts storage up above the shop?? Let me know what you guys think.

Wow looks good. I have to ask did you use a dodge 440 engine block and trans?

I have a couple of the kits you are talking about but the fenders look to big and bulkey.

Thanks Im thinking of doing a color like the one in the pic let me know what you guys think.

I'm getting the same problem I will try taking a screen shot like you said. Dose it have something to do with the size of the photo attached? Because I can upload a photo that is up to 1.3mb not 1.4 or bigger.

I never realized that they were different scales but I think it will be ok I had an idea about doing a dually and making my own fenders let me know what you guys think about it as I'm not to shure about it.

This is a project I have had planed for some time and I am going to build it with a garage diorama (ACME auto) as a shop truck. it is a moebius 1971 ford ranger long box and I will be building a 7.3L powerstroke diesel and auto trans using the 460/7.5L engine from the revell 91 ford dually kit as a base for the engine. sorry for the bad pics should have better ones tomorrow. Comment welcome

I agree with almost every thing we need more modern trucks and cars. the old power wagon would be cool to.

Were did you get the forklift?

Another pic.

Here is ACME AUTO So far it's just mocked up using sheet styrene but I will use fome board or something like that for the actual project. It is 12" deep X 21"wide X 10" tall. i also have an old tamiya diorama garage that I will use for the tools and other little nick nacks. I will be doing some scratch building to hopefully so I will probably be asking a lot of questions and it will take some time as I haven't done anything like this before. let me know what you think so far and if you have biult something like this I would love to see some pics for inspiration. The cars are just there for size reference

Revell makes a 50 olds
