I'm curious, too. However, when I saw the images which @tim boyd shared, the tail lamp bezels appear to be the sans-back-up-lamps type* , which is correct for a "lesser" trim level (the 500 had back-up lamps as standard). * =back-up ( reverse, et alia ) lamps weren't mandated until the 1965 calendar year - take the "1964 1/2" Mustang as an example : no back-up lamps

Allman Brothers Eat a Peach is my favourite album of theirs from 1972

Love the gritty , film noir-esque look and feel to the scenes of Chicago (and heretofore , Harvey , etc.) in The Blues Brothers

Thanks for the photos and accompanying text , @tim boyd ! FWIW, I'd feel compelled to add a "correct" 8.75" differential - "correct" based upon the 1965's being the last year for the 8.75" diff, irrespective of transmission ; the Dana 60 coming along for 1966 (and likely within the rules for Modified Production , Gas, etc., classes, when upgraded on the 1965's).

Why do you model?

Keeps me away from returning to the other modelling I did in me twenties -
Soft Machine was a Freak Beat / Psychedelic band from England which was formed in 1966 ; their name is from the William Burroughs's book of the same name

It's hit or miss with our animal companions. I never would've imagined that Tao would take to Emily the way he did, and in the manner in which he did ! He fell for her immediately ; she took to him with no hesitancy . They're getting on just the way I'd hoped they would .

Service and clean the laser inside the CD , DVD, and Laserdisc player, to make sure it's not off-centre.

Asked how the SBC in my '72 Nova from AMT became a "383", my answer was "I bored it a scale .030 and added the crank from the AMT Parts Pack."

There's one retailer I'm aware of which carries MCW , @Mike 1017, and that's Pegasus Hobbies : Pegasus Hobbies – "So-Cal's" Largest Hobby Destination! (wpcomstaging.com)

Emily's sister April . I just love that Phantom of the Opera kind of charcoal-coloured band on her left eye/cheek ! According to me friend who'd rescued her (and turned me on to Emily) said that she was recently spayed and is recovering wonderfully. Emily's turn is soon... I realise that I've shared this photo already ; however, it's worth sharing again, as April and Emily's mum is pregnant again (same sire, too - whom I call "Char" , mum's called "Patty").

Going into a beach bathroom - especially in Santa Monica - can be an "interesting" experience

I recently purchased this new Chrysler B/RB engine / transmission from VCG . It looks so nice ! And, if it's anything like their other offerings, it's going to be a winner ! Mopar RB Big Block Engine Kit (Stock Versions) — VCG Resins by Reese

RED Turn Signals/Hazards : WHY ?!?
1972coronet replied to 1972coronet's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
"If someone else said it better..." I defer to Mr. Stern's excellent article regarding rear amber turn signals : Preventing accidents with amber turn signals (acarplace.com) -
Thanks much, George. I appreciate your prompt response , and the clarification. I'm quite looking forward to doing business with you and Wylde, et alia.

The 1965-'68 Full-size Mopars
1972coronet replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
1962 Chrysler Enforcer . Built at the request (demand, really) of the CHP , as Chrysler - via misinformation - downsized its fullsize fleet for 1962 (whoops !)... except for the premium lines (Imperial and Chrysler). CHP required a 122" wheelbase , so Chrysler conjured up the Enforcer to meet this demand. The gripping rebel biker film Wild Angels ! (1966) features one of these bad boys , out by the Salton Sea on the Mecca (northwest side) tier of that then-elegant resort. -
I resemble that remark ! But, the results were better 'an I'd anticipated ; to wit : - Removed the crummy vinyl top from my rust-free California beach car ; - Ground / sanded off the rust-free California rust ; - Sprayed rust converter on the rust-free surface ; - Filled the deeper pits with JB Weld ; - Welded (or was it well-did ?) patch panels into/over the rust-free holes on the C-pillars ; - Sprayed primer over the top notch work in the carport at my friends' house on a windy day ; - Then used a brush and a roller to Craigslistidly-apply the latex house paint over the SEMA-awarded body work. I nude I shoulda getted Rustoleum for that mailbox finish, but I hadda spent more better funds on more bestest primer and materials.

1964 225 is Chrysler Engine Red ( I believe that the 170 is the same colour, same year). Transmission - manual or Torqueflite - is as-cast : cast iron for manual (and pre-1962 A-466 (Powerflite) and A-488 (Torqueflite) ), aluminium for 1976 & later manuals (all) , 1960-c.1984 A-904 G & LA , and 1962-c.1989 A-727. Bellhousing is engine colour for all manuals , with a semi-gloss black inspection plate. The blue Slant Sixes came along for the 1970 model year (a different shade vs. the "1972 blue") , both 198 and 225.

He also does custom requests. The one exhibited here is one such request from yours truly : 1975-1976 Dart / Duster .
