  1. Well, those tires are NASCAR slicks and so is the wheel. The seat looks like an old bomber type seat that was used in some race cars from after WWII till about the 60's when better and safer seats became available. It's possible it was some old stock car, but you don't have enough parts to really figure that out. Sorry, I can't help anymore than that. Maybe if you can find more parts or a body or maybe you have a pic of it somewhere we would help more.

    lift axle

    I found those two. I'm sure he's got more. Just did not have any more time to search. Hope that helps. LOW RIDE HEIGHT LIFT AXLE SUSPENSION, TQ199 — Sour Krauts Model Trucks TRUCK LIFT AXLE SUSPENSION SET, TQ198 — Sour Krauts Model Trucks

    lift axle

    www.sourkrautsmodeltrucks.net has a lift axle, not sure if it's steerable or not. I think he has a couple different designs too.
  4. Yes, they will be close to what you want. I need a bench seat out of one of those.
  5. That one does not have the wheels you are looking for. I have that kit. The old Broncos like that don't have them. You need to look for the 70's and 80's Broncos.
  6. Well, shoot, I that I had a good idea there. I don't suppose copper tubing would be any better. Maybe you could 3D print some elbows as a last resort.
  7. Broncos had some of those wheels in their kits too.
  8. If no one has any to trade, check out www.sourkrautsmodeltrucks.net
  9. I was looking for parts and came up with another idea. Sour Krauts has elbows for both intakes and exhaust pipes for semi-trucks. In both plastic and rubber. The ones in the pic are rubber. Maybe you can put that to some kind of use to make your stacks if my other idea does not work for ya. Oh, I have bought from him before. If it says out of stock or don't find what you want, email the guy anyways. He may have it or can get it for you quick. www.sourkrautsmodeltrucks.net Just hit the model truck tab at the top to start looking for parts.
  10. The winch is like 20 bucks but it has the pto and box and drive shafts. He has driveshafts and u joints too. If you find something sold out keep looking, he probably has another one just like it on a different page. You just have to search. And if it says out of stock, e mail him anyways. He may have it or can get it for you quick. OIL FIELD WINCH, TQ71 — Sour Krauts Model Trucks
  11. I had an idea. Not sure if it would work or not, but worth a try. What if you placed a solid plastic rod with a tight fit inside of some aluminum tube as support and then heated it off and on and slowly bend it off and on. Not try to bend it or overheat it all at once. Then you could go back and polish it later. Worth a shot I guess.
  12. The Monaco would be close, but that one is not the right year. I actually have a real Polara behind my shop. I ever get too it, I can swap out the grill work and taillights and get it to look like the real thing. And it's a 400 big block car too.
  13. You could make a square lift block to put between the axle and the spring.
  14. Look good. Too bad it's not a 74. We need a Blues Brothers mobile.
  15. That interior looks great. Can't wait to see the tach.
  16. If you insist on decal type plates, 3 inches under has their own website and he has an ebay page too. He has lots of decal type lic. plates and more.
  17. Yep, I see where you're going with it now. Oh well, that pedal just popped into my head and I'd thought I'd share in case you could use it. Looking good by the way. Can't wait to see it finished. You have way more patience than I do.
  18. More than welcome. Like I said, search his site or ask him to make something for you. He does it all the time.
  19. Just a suggestion, but we use these types of pedals with pull backs on our circle track cars. Of course, it's a metal rod with Heim joints from the pedal to the carb too. Something else to think about. Speedway Firewall Mount Racing Accelerator Throttle Pedal
  20. You should start looking here at the link below. This is just the page for decals, and I found that pic on the first page +. According to the counter at the bottom of that first page, there's at least 8 pages of decals. Three Inches Under | eBay Stores
  21. 3 inches under on Ebay has all sorts of decals like this. You will have to look through pages of resin parts and decals to find it. If you don't find it, e mail him and I know he can make it for you. I've done a lot of business with him on Ebay. Below is a link for a car sales lot and window stickers for cars that you might want and that was just on the first page of a search. Hope that helps. 1:25 G scale model car dealership new used EPA window auto dealer decals | eBay 1/64 scale model car Felix Auto Sales license plates tags | eBay
  22. Pick what matches up and cut them straight and put them together. Brace them on the back side if there's room. I'll show you a pic of two Bronco frames I put together to put under a resin truck body. The frame in my pics is not braced cause it glues to the floor pan. The rear section of the floor pan actually overlaps the middle section of the floor pan. With it all glued together, it self-braces itself so to speak. Hope that helps. Got any questions let me know. By the way, this is the first one I ever made.
  23. That should be a fun build. I built one as a Tn State Trooper car. Did you notice you have 4 lug instead of 5 lug wheels. lol Sorry, just noticed it is all. I've seen some people chain the doors shut and I think some classes require chains run through the bumper so the wreckers can pick them up and move them quicker. Those cars with the header pipes through the hood always looked cool too. Not sure they were worth it though. Should be a fun build.
  24. Understood. I also found that the elevation at Chattanooga always made it feel colder or hotter than it does at lower elevations like where I am near Nashville now.
  25. If Ga. Humidity at 90* is anything like Tn. humidity at 90*, I bet he will be missing that winter up north pretty quick like. He may be in for a shock. lol
