Sorry to hear John...
At least with #2 you'll be able to catch things you missed on #1. Keep at it, you'll get a better version that you'll be proud of!
The most accurate Dana 60 axles came in the Revell 68-69 Chargers, HEMI Dart, and the new HEMI 'Cuda.
Johan had them in some kits, and maybe other kit manufacturers as well, but I've yet to see any as good as the recent Revell part...
Cool!
I grew up with a '77 'Sandpiper' at our house, it was my Mom's 'summer car' (my Dad stored the thing in the winter, can you believe it?)
Took my driver's test in it! Wish we would have kept it, I would have put a V8 in it!
