I have another project to start while I wait on the plastic strip?

Does anyone make a bathtub intake or should I break out more plastic and putty? Gerald

I will try that as well. I will mold the original and make a few copies to experiment with!! Thank you all for your input, Please keep it comin' the more knowledge on the subject the better. I work very slow so please be patient with me?

Tim, Have no problem with that!! I'm also working an oil pump/oil filter combo and oil cooler to finish up the dry sump system. I'm trying model these parts after what I see in this photo. Wish me luck!! Gerald

A fellow modeler gave me the idea of using Evergreen V-Groove. I ordered some, I hope try that when it gets here. The pan still needs some shaping and fine tuning. If it turns out good I may cast the oil pan and oil tank both, to use in future projects. Gerals

Trying to make the oil pan! Any thoughts on how to add the grooved details? Gerald

Love this old (at my age I'll use vintage) detail photo's! Gerald

Dr. Larry, Great pic! Here's what I used.

Got the firewall cut out and the oil tank and battery tray made. I'm using the battery from the GTX kit.

Found this drawing of the Dry Sump Oil System. Posted if anyone is interested! Gerald

I like it! Nice unusual car ! Gerald

Thanks for the link!! Here's what I found if anyone else is interested!

Tim, Thanks for the heads up with the crossmember! I had to remove about 1/32" from it. Gerald

Really nice, love WIP! Gerald

Very nice, what body did you use? Gerald

The 1/24th scale tires seem to fill the wheel wells of the longer wheel base cars better. But I don't know if it's accurate? But I see the same a lot of the time. Gerald

Is the body an old MPC version? How did the PL chassis fit? Gerald

I will build a test engine like the one I'm using! Thanks for your help, this a great point the front beam may need trimmed a little. Thanks, Gerald

Got a little chassis work done. I'm using the AMT 1969 Plymouth GTX kit for the chassis. Removed the gas tank and filled the gas tank opening and chassis holes. Added a piece of Aluminum tube as the base for the shifter and rebuilt the front frame and motor mounts. Started opening up the firewall for the battery and oil tank. Please give me any opinion that will correct anything else you see wrong. Gerald

Looks like a lot work ahead, can't wait to see how it turnout! Gerald

That's cool!!! Gerald

Really nice! Gerald

You are most likely correct. That makes a lot of sense. From what I can tell Bobby used a Tan colored seat in his Chargers? Does anyone have any good photo's, drawings or anything else of the dry sump oil system ran in the '69 Mopar racers. I think this car ran that system. Need a pic of the oil pan. Thanks, Gerald

Looks great! Love the detail work. Keep it going! Gerald

Thanks guy's. I'm working on a Nichel's chassis for this car. I'll post some pic's soon, to get some opinions. The more eyes the better!! Thanks again. Gerald
