[MPC 1980 Plymouth Volare reissue?]

Thanks, Just got it ordered.

[70 Motown Missile]

Put some primer on the body and found a few more areas that needed filling. The joys of resin.
Will wire the motor tomorrow and work on the ride height.

Slowly getting there. The headlights, bumpers and taillights have me worried but time will tell.

Who has them in stock?

 

Thanks

This is from my old scrap book.

What a cool build it would make.

[Ramchargers Duster]

Ed.

 Thank you very much for posting your replies and photos.

 I love hearing the history of these Mopars and the folks behind them.

[Sox & Martin 69 Roadrunner.]

Johan body, AMT chassis with parts boxes goodies.

[Sox & Martin 69 Roadrunner.]

I picked up the book when it first came out and it is indeed a good read.

Another great one it the book Sox & Martin put out back in 74 ( think)

I am going with what I think was a B/MP car.

Still not totally sure.

[Sox & Martin 69 Roadrunner.]

Still not sure which hood to use so I am making both.

[70 Motown Missile]

Spent the last couple of days thinning out resin and patching up the body along with the hood scoop.

[Shores & Hess anglia]

Very cool Anglia.

 I like it.

[70 Motown Missile]

This si where I am at with the hood now.

Thanks

[70 Motown Missile]

You are very welcome.

The reason for the Cuda chassis is simple, The kit already has all the Pro Stock goodies in it and the Challenger kits do not.

I have used the Challenger kits before and they take a bit more work as they do not have much tire clearance in the rear. And you still need a donor motor and other parts.

Vintage Mopar drag cars are kind of my thing as they are all I build.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

 

 

 

[70 Motown Missile]

Yep.

I used to use the Johan Cuda but they are getting hard to find so thought I would try the new Sox & Martin kit this time.

[70 Motown Missile]

Picked up a resin 70 Challenger cheap off ebay and started this project.

Still working on the fit up and building the hood scoop.

Thanks for looking.

[Aunt Ruth's Duster]

Very nice, I recall many of these running around back when I was in high school.

[Ramchargers Duster]

I think the cast is from SMH. I have used several bodies from Competition Resin and this one was different.

If my old brain recalls the wheels were from SMBC.

Thanks

 From the Ramchargers book it was a 74 360  that was a class L. I believe it was bumped to K the next year. The fact that is was a 4 speed is really cool to me.  They broke the Class L and K records several times and won the tough division 3 Super stock title.

They then went on to build a W2 powered E/G Dart Sport that won at the US nationals in 78.

The casting was very clean and easy to work with. Would buy another in  heart beat.

Thanks!

 

[Ramchargers Duster]

It is a resin body I picked up on ebay.

[Ramchargers Duster]

Second one done for the year.

Thanks for looking.

[Mustang Boss 429 Funny Car]

Very cool!

[How long do ya'll take]

I used to get close to 10 a year done.

After my son was born I am get 1 to 2 a year completed.

I hoping to get 3 this year.

 

[Sox & Martin '67 Hemi GTX]

One of my favorite cars.

Very clean build , nice foil work and engine details.

Thanks for sharing.

[Monogram '70 Superbird]

The vinyl were done as a cheap way to cover the work done on the rear window. All  Superbirds came with the vinyl top from the factory.
