Another very well done early Super Stocker. I love all of the Super Stock, Factory Experimental and Altered Wheelbase builds on here. Keep up the good work everyone.
This is an amazing job. I am gathering parts to do one of my own. It will be with the Model King body and I am going to do it as one that was altered later in the season. The Warbucks body is a 1/25th body, so I am torn on what to use for a chassis. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to post them. I am thinking of the additional altered wheelbase and a straight axle. Mine won't be as nice or accurate as yours.
That is way too cool! I could easily see someone in the Southeast building something like that to run at some backwoods track. Definitely leave it like it is. Even the weathered paint makes it look like a survivor someone found in a barn.
Going to agree with Horror Show and expand on his recommendation: Gasser straight axles, drop axles and leaf springs. Would also like Hilborn four port bug catcher injectors and Thunderbolt traction bar/crossmember pieces.
The Dodge Coronet had a wheelbase exactly 1" longer than the Plymouth Belvedere. This would equate to a 1 mm difference in 1/25 scale form. Certainly not enough for Moebius to re-tool for.
I would like to see Moebius step forward and do some 70-71 Pro Stock kits. Their detail and quality is such that these would be some amazing kits. Maybe a Maverick, a '69 Camaro, a '70 Camaro, a Cuda, a Challenger and a Duster.
Here was a project that sat on in the cabinet for 20 years before being completed during Covid. I had a tough time deciding how I wanted to paint the body before deciding to make a Plymouth version of the famed Rod Shop Pro Stocker.
