Terry ,I used white hat pins with the needle cut off ,I painted them to match the car
-
Here's the actual car at Englishtown years ago with our own Walter Frey track announcer!
-
Thanks Zip,,yeah fogging the paint was tricky,,,came out ok though,,,I'm going to build that new Moebius 65 Coronet AWB with a straight front axle too
-
Thanks Mike,STS did the decals for me,they were a bit too big I had to cut and splice them ,but they came out decent
-
She's done,,,probably going to go straight axle on the Coronet too
-
..........decals on,not an exact fit ,,had to cut-splice but not too bad,clear coated....doing the glass and Bare Metal now
-
And the Hurst built 68 Hemi L023 and B029 automatics had 8-3/4's -
It wasn't available,,,100% positive on that . They were not upgrading in 65 ......... when the Dana starting becoming available in 66 I'm sure some were swapped out
-
You can build it anyway you want I'm just saying it wasn't an option in B bodies in 65
-
I don't like the "open" mold of the kit rear myself,,,I filled mine in with filler and bulked up the center a bit ,,same with the leaf springs ,,,,I compared the rear to an AMT 8-3/4 ,,,not much difference
-
The Dana 60 wasn't available in B bodies in 1965
-
Really not that bad compared to a pic of the actual
-
Will you guys quit whining about those Mopar rims,,they're not that bad jesssus! .The 8-3/4 is a pretty stout rear,,especially with a 489 case 10 spline pinion ,,, ask me how I know
-
I got the AWB version at the same time,,not sure how I'm going to build it ,,possibly this >>
-
Finished her up this week
-
Yep,Fireball carbs
-
From what I understand it was one of only 2 red with red interior Coronet A990's ,,it had a white stripe running down the upper portion of the sides,,I simplified it a bit
-
Thanks Zip!
-
Just finished up this in-betweener ,,a few do dads left to do but pretty much done ,,local car to me,,I could only find one picture of it ,,I used the new Moebius A990 65 Coronet ,the decals I did myself with inkjet decal paper ,,,I took a little artistic license with some of the lettering
-

FDNY Wrecker

Charles,they hook the axle lift/tow bar to the towing eyes that are attached to the frame rails,they protrude through cut outs in the rear of the body ,,you can see it in that video.Most all fire trucks have them now so no underneath damage is done -
