  1. Well, I have not found it yet. Must be in the old PC. I'll keep looking for it. The truck in the Don Garlits museum was never run. IT was made just for Garlits. Here's a couple links for you. The first one is a video showing very close detail of the injection set up and it's actually better than my pic. I also have some aluminum stacks that I bought for my truck. I'll get the name if it's still on the bag if you want to order some up. Oh, hit pause and let both of the videos download before playing them for a better exp.
  2. Boy, those top two pics stink compared to how that paint looks in person. And I drilled the holes out in the wheels, but that's hard to see in those pics. Radio equipment wont fit with the seats, and I recalled they used hand held radios all the time in that show anyways. The light is huge for this car. If you remember the show, I have seen them throw it on the roof and because of it's size and weight, it caved the roof in. And no one but tv cops ever put one of those mini lights on the roof with the magnet on the bottom of it.
  3. There's my start on Dee Dee's Daytona.
  4. It was after and it was a remake of the old Dragnet. I liked it myself, but I guess it just did not take off.
  5. No problem on the pics. I have 3 MPC Super Bee's that come with a six pack and a separate block for the Hemi. And they have a separate trans too. I may use one of them if I need to. I just need to find a super charger and injector hat and belt set up. I already picked up some resin Weld wheels to use on it. And you don't have to tell me about the real 1 to 1's. I've owned enough of them over the years. We campaign a Mopar NASCAR G.N. Sportsman car. Afraid it's a 365 small block though.
  6. Dist on all big block and 426 Hemi's goes in the front. All small blocks and old style 392 type Hemi's goes in the rear. Has nothing to do with the blower, that's where the hole in the block is and inside that whole you can see the gears on the cam and drive that drives the dist. or magnetos. Never seen one for a Mopar, but they do make set ups for Ford and chevy to run them off the front of the engine, be it by camshaft or crank drive with a belt.
  7. Well, I just entered that one too, but at least I have already started the ones I am working on.
  8. I have what's left of one that I built when I was a kid that I am going to try to put back together. It don't look nothing like the real car, and it's built as the stunt car so to speak. If you remember it sounds like a V12 sports car reved up in the show. The actual car had a 350 4bbl and trans axle. All of the cars engine sounds were dubbed in. IT was built on a VW chassis as well. They used a Manta and one other kit car body. They changed the car up for the second season so the passenger side doors could open and made it bigger for Brain Keith to get in and out of.
  9. Too late, you done started another build off .... lol. I'm working on something. Could I stick in one black and white truck from a TV show ?? I also want to put in a Daytona I am working on. It's Dee Dee McCalls car from "Hunter" http://imcdb.org/movie_86734-Hunter.html?P...50995813067e98b http://imcdb.org/vehicle_12843-Dodge-Daytona-1987.html
  10. Lets finish the other half dozen first .... it's tiring me out ... lol.
  11. Yeah, I bought some of those stacks too. I am trying to find a better looking more realistic Hemi to put in mine. And I think I'll build the supercharged one with the weld wheels and the cut out rear fenders. Not sure how I will make that rolled lip they put on them though. I have a pic of one that's blown with a rearward facing injector hat and it's got a yellow paint job on the engine and it's old too. There's plenty of places where the paint is missing from working on the engine and even the blower has yellow paint on it.
  12. I've got some pics of it too, but I can't tell ya what brand it is. IT's just 8 injectors and stacks.
  13. O.k. tired of editing. IT would be so much easier if we did not have to use a hosting site to do this. This is the only site I am on that requires it. Somehow I got two pics of the same thing posted and could not get rid of them. There is one pic that does NOT belong. The second pic showing the driver seat is a center seat shot. That truck was built after he turned one over and rolled it several times. It was for added safety. From what I read, there was only 3 or 4 trucks plus the one built just for Garlits to display in his museum, but I sure do have a bunch of pics with 3 different engines and several different paint schemes. All red, but some have a lot of '70's yellow scroll work on it. I call it the hippy era truck. And there's several wheel combos compared to the body work and paint schemes too. Hope that helps out.
  14. Ask and you shall receive. These will be random pics all of the first Little Red Wagon. Bare with me if you see multiple edits to get the pics to work correctly.
  15. I aint crashed, I just made a pit stop. All out of gas and supplies. .... lol.
  16. Old school. Nice. Sorry, that's the only link I have police and fire equipment. Wished I had some more choices myself. I tried though.
  17. Welcome, anytime. I just looked up there and saw the scale you was looking for. Make sure to go back to the main page and get the right scale. The ones I linked are 1/24 or 1/25. You may have noticed that already, but just in case.
  18. No problem. Just jerkin your chain a bit .... lol!!!!
  19. Dude, same place I just linked too ... LOL!!!!
  20. BILL BOZO PHOENIX, AZ POLICE DECALS http://policecarmodels.com/bibophazpode.html BILL BOZO ARIZONA HIGHWAY PATROL POLICE DECALS http://policecarmodels.com/arhipade.html Hope that helps. Click on the decal pic and they get bigger so you can see some detail.
  21. Order one of these wired dist. first. http://www.scalemodelingbychris.com/mad_distributors.htm Then cut the black insulation to use as a spark plug boot and glue it on the ends of the wire. Drill a hole in the block for each plug wire and glue the black boots into the holes.
  22. Yes early version was a dual carb Cross Ram Hemi. The first Little Red Wagon trucks was also a dual carb Cross Ram Hemi. I have some pics of that engine and it's engine cradle sitting on the ground in his shop.
  23. Well, you do make a valid point there, they do look better that way.
  24. Because he ran a blown engine at one time.
  25. I have the Monogram curbside version of the '66 Daytona car. I'm going to carve up a 327 alloy engine to put in it along with aluminum stacks for the carbs. Still a curb side I guess, but you'll be able to see the engine through the fender wells.
