WOW. The mod top looks great. Is that a decal or what? And the correct title is ... You can never have too many Mopar's or too many Hemi's. lol Mopar or No Car. Also there's nothing like going a buck 20 sideways with the LF 6 to 8 inches off the ground too. All Mopar small block power.

You can see it in your pics. Short Track cars and some Road Course cars always have more clearance between the tires and fenders to prevent tire rubs during contact. That gap is really closed up on Super Speedway cars. The 15 has some really wide-open gaps compared to the 9 and 21. The rear ride height is set pretty low on the 21 as well. They did that a lot to get the spoiler out of the airstream on Super Speedway cars too. Hope that helps out some.

Brutalform in your 4th pic look under that car. It's a ladder bar car so you don't need the leaf springs, and you can put the frame rails back in yours too. And that would be a Dana 60 car. The 8 3/4 would not hold up to that weight and torque when using ladder bars.

Looks good. I like the black paint job and the JPS idea. Always loved that JPS car anyways. I have one in the stash to build one day.

The Duster chassis won't work though. The F body has transverse mounted torsion bars mounted on the K frame. The Duster has longitudinal torsion bars mounted on the Transmission crossmember that runs up to the lower control arms. The A body Duster has the wrong front suspension for an F body Volare'. And the fire wall for the Duster has the old points type voltage regulator on it and it has the ecu box that would be on the right fender of the Volare'. And there were no 340 Volare' cars. No 340's after 73. The Volare' had three engine options. 225 super six or the 318 or 360. Some have put 440s in real Volare's but they don't handle at all and they won't hook up cause the F body is so front heavy to begin with. But that's the way it goes.

Sox and Martin ?? LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!

How about this 30 cylinder Hemi tank engine that did go into production during WWII by Mopar. 5 cranks, and 5 magnetos, and 5 carbs.

If you can't find one on here, you can check https://www.sourkrautsmodeltrucks.net/ . I think I recall seeing one on their site before.

Love that pic. You even have the figure with the cigar. That is so cool. Looking good I might add.

Looks good so far. One thing though, not sure how realistic you want it to be, but you can't use slapper bars on a real Mopar. They don't work since the springs are made to spread apart as it launches. Kinda of like a leapfrog where both front and rear jump up together when it launches. It's a common mistake a lot of people do when building Mopar's. Hope that helps.

No fender wells.

That will be a cool pic to pull off.

Looking good so far. Can't wait to see it finished.

You're welcome. Sorry, I could not find a pic or a definite answer.

You're welcome.

Sorry about that. I got the wrong car. Anyways, from what I was able to find out it was blue. I can't find a single pic to prove it though. I did find a die cast car and it is blue and I'm sure they strive for some accuracy on that model cause it was a limited edition run of only 400. Sorry, but that's all I could come up with. My guess it is factory blue turquoise.

These cars ran 426 Hemi's, and they are Race Hemi Orange. A different shade than the 340 or 440 or Street Hemi orange.

Looking good.

Ah, no problem. Thanks for looking.

I got a plate and the winch that goes under the bumper from the Balzer kit. And I got a fairlead as well. So I am good with that. If I could find the brush and grill guard similar to the one in the pic, I'd be really happy. Duane is sending me one and I think I can mod that one to work. I think the one that I want that is a full guard came from a monster truck kit, but I'm not 100% sure about that. I do know that it exists though.

Hey thanks. I appreciate that. I'd be glad to pay for shipping or whatever you need if you are looking for parts.

Any glass would do. This one does not have a hole cut in it yet. Any average size for a truck roof hopefully with rounded corners. Thanks.
