Thanks for posting that. I forgot it had the refer unit on it too. Been a while since I have seen that show.

Pretty cool. IF you can flip your LR around on the rim. The tread is cut the wrong way. lol.

A tramp stamp on the rear axle, now that's a new one on me. LOL!!

Nice build

I believe near the beginning of this clip there is rear view of Jr's Ford he ran shine in.

That's it ... lol

That story kinda reminds me of Steve Earl ... lol

Nice build you got there.

I'm not sure of the make, but his trailer did have a side door. And you'll need to change the rear wheels on that trailer if they are like the box art. Check you tube. There are several clips and complete shows on there so you can get some references from.

Thanks for posting .I was going to ask where you got the Rock City decals. I lived in Chattanooga for a year before I moved back home to Shelbyville. I might want to get some of those and build a Tn. car.

That's a 1971 Ford Custom 500. Here's a list of the cars used in that movie. White Lightning was filmed on location in Arkansas (Wrightsville, Benton). The principal props used in the movie were automotive, and included the following: a 1971 Ford Custom 500, a 1971 Mercury Monterey, a 1972 Ford LTD, a 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu, a 1963 Mercury Comet, a 1962 Ford Fairlane, a 1962 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 and a Chevrolet Camaro of undetermined vintage.

This should help. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=Moonshine+Still&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= As you can see by those pics, there's no wrong way to build one ... lol.

Know what you mean. I have enough half started kits that need to get finished. And I am bound and determined to get it done too. I've got my old school rail and I'm going to finish it first before I touch anything else. Then I'm doing a 'vette that I got from Phil next cause he wants to see it and I said I would . Then it's back to some race cars I think. I got a cravin to do this '69 camaro I have into a race car next.

LSU, how's the Daytona coming along? I found a e mail notice that I forgot to delete in my e mail to this thread and thought I'd check it out again before I deleted it.

I had that kit once a long time ago. I built the Duster, but the frame on the rail was so warped and twisted up I could not do anything with it. Looks good so far.

I've been watching this cause I love these cars. I wished I had one to build. I have an IMSA Porsche 930 race car, but it looks like a stock body with bigger or wider stock looking fenders and a stock looking rear spoiler too. I'm sure that does not fit in here. I found this vid the other day and thought I'd share. It's like a vintage race where you see the cars in action instead of in a car show type event. There's some Martini cars and a Rothman in there too.

Check the vid I posted in the post just above yours. You'll see the oil slick built into the back bumper of the 49 Ford the Mitchum drove in the beginning of that movie. And it's based on a real life story too. Anytime. Go back and check the vid I added to that post if you like.

Is this the one? I bet it is. Very good movie too. "Thunder Road" starring Robert Mitchum The film was based loosely on an incident in which a driver transporting moonshine was said to have crashed to his death on Kingston Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee somewhere between Bearden Hill and Morrell Road. Per Metro Pulse writer Jack Renfro, the incident occurred in 1952 and may have been witnessed by James Agee, who passed the story on to Mitchum. In the film, Mitchum drove a hot-rodded 1951 Ford 2-door sedan with a custom tank in the back for moonshine and later a 1957 Ford coupe with the same alterations. The '51 Ford was modified with a '49 hood and grill and with the rear taillight trim removed. The film's dialogue refers to the car as a '50, but it is not, although at least one exterior shot, when the car spills oil on the road, is of the trunk of a '50. Most of the scenes were filmed in Asheville, North Carolina and some at Lake Lure. The movie's theme song, "The Ballad of Thunder Road", was later recorded by Mitchum and became a popular single record, although Mitchum's rendition is not the one in the film itself.

ROFLMAO !!!!!!

I hear you man. Besides, I'vve outran too many 350 4bbl cars with a 318 before, so I know they aint much, or they don't know how to tune them. lol

Thanks. I'll pass it along.

These cars should be restored too, but how many exist due to racing and crashes? Few if any. That's the whole point behind needing to restore this classics, not thrash them into rust piles and modding them till they are no longer what they were and pretty much worthless.

They went to cast instead of aluminum but they are an exact copy and still have the ede name on them. 440 six pack 340 six pack

That explains why they looked so slow and the film speed was sped up .... lol.

Thanks guys. Yes, it's for a 1:1 some interior plastic pieces for a car restoration. Sorry, forgot to mention that at first.
