I'm waiting on a '69 body from the same source. Already have the Chevelle donor. If I were starting from scratch I'd use an Olds interior.

Built to fit into the old SS/BA class. I know the Hemi Cudas were '68s. This build initiated on a challenge, that I couldn't fit a Monogram Hemi, this one from a '71 Cuda, into a 1/25th scale Mpc Cuda. I used the stock chassis but tubbed it, using the bottom of a prescription pill bottle for tubs. I used modified Amt '68 Road Runner front inner wheelwells to fit. Started in 2017, lost interest, was looking for a new project this year and decided to finish this one. Lost the taillight, grafted in a sectioned and narrowed '70 GTX taillight panel. Found the taillight after I finished the car.

Nice build.

Me too! Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you. You have a cool name! Motor is a 460 Ford with a Shelby type 2-4 intake, carbs and air filter.

Thank you. It was a relatively quick and simple build. Low parts count. Most involved part of the build was preparing the resin body.

It was supposed to be a 'sleeper' street racer. I like the way it came out, but I don't think anyone will sleep on it., lol. Thanks.

Thanks. I did not have to adjust the wheelbase. Maybe because I used the dirt track chassis? I appreciate the options advice. I collect all American makes but have been building MoPars for the last few years. This is part of a rather ambitious, for me, project. I have two '66s and a '68, '69, '70 Buick Skylark and a '73 Century in the shop. My GM parts stash is taking a beating.

Do you also have 1:1 project cars?

Builders Slump
Daryl Romain replied to Rich Chernosky's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Whenever I'm in a slump, which doesn't happen often, I do inventory. I always find something to build. -
What do you drive?
Daryl Romain replied to gasman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
1967 Plymouth Satellite. (Stroked) 494 wedge, 4 speed working factory AC, manual steering & brakes, radio delete. I've owned it since 1988. -
The '70 Chevelle glass fits this one well, but is being saved for the '69 Skylark I have on order from Too Many Projects.

Thanks. I'll try not to disappoint you. -
1966 Buick Skylark nostalgia type thing
Daryl Romain replied to Daryl Romain's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Thanks. I have a thing for Buicks. I've had a 1/1 1987 Turbo Regal for about 25 years. -
I used what I had on hand. I'm working on several projects at the same time. Under this '68 is going a '66 dirt track chassis. It fits without any adjustment. Maybe it shouldn't have, due to the 3" difference in the wheelbase, but it did. It is somewhat lacking in detail but I can remedy that somewhat. The '69 Skylark I have on order will get an Amt 70 Chevelle chassis and interior bucket. Again, that's what I have on hand. None of these cars is a 100% stock build. All are modified in some way, so I'm not going to be a real stickler for detail.
