I have a couple Bel Air cars to build. I also want to finish up the red Proffitt car real soon also. I saw videos of this car leave the line with the wheels in the air, all crooked. Don’t know what engine is in the real car, so I just tossed in a typical 409, stroker, with a bunch of race parts, and single dominator.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Jon.

Thanks Casey, I did look there, but I wanted to find out how I could “view” what I was looking for, hoping there was a website.

Thanks for the info everyone.... much appreciated. I saw a few things that was done by him, like fuel pumps, and engine parts, and the stuff looked fantastic. If I remember correctly, Marcos Cruz did a YouTube video of their stuff at a model show. I don’t have a FB account, but I’ll get on the wife’s FB and look it up.

Do they have a website? I’d like to look at some of their products. But can’t seem to find any info on them.

Nice details on the engine bay. Can’t wait to see more.

Thank you, and good luck on the new home. I have a few more max wedge cars coming up also. A 63 Dodge 330, and a 62 Dart. Maybe a 64 Fury and a 65 Coronet too. By then I’ll be out of Fireball carbs, and rims. Post yours up when you can. I’d like to see them.

Thanks for the positive replies everyone. Much appreciated.

Thanks everyone. Im far from a Mopar expert, but is this oval air cleaner that is supplied in the kit even for a max wedge? Or is it supposed to be on a Hemi? I haven’t come across any max wedge cars in my searches that had this type of air cleaner. I decided to just use it because I didn’t detail the carbs at all, and it covers things pretty well.

Thanks everyone. When and if I build another RR like this one, I’ll definitely be painting the hood decals on.

A street and strip Max Wedge. Just finished another one that’s been sitting on the bench. Only eight more to go...before I open another kit. I cut out the wimpy rear end that Mobius supplied, and used a 1:24 monogram rear housing from my parts box. That tiny rear just won’t cut it. Slicks are 7in from Speed City, Rear rims are Fireball. Front rims are kit supplied. Wheel screws and air valves are Pro Tech. My very first black paint job, at least since I was young. Because of the excessive orange peel in this paint job, is why it sat so long. I never had to start sanding with anything more coarse than 3200, but this needed 2400 to knock it down. But then I noticed black on my polishing flannel, as I broke through on the drivers side door. Thanks to a little Future, it’s really very hard to notice. Fingerprints, hair, fibers, really show up. The paint was a pain but I think it came out ok.

Yep. I threw mine out too. Every time I tried to use it, the clear liquid comes out, and the putty stays in the tube. Ive tried massaging the closed tube with my fingers to no avail. I had a tube years ago, that worked like a charm. This newer tube was garbage imo.

Thanks Tim. Finally finished, and Under Glass.

Finished this up two days ago. Note to self.... next Roadrunner build, paint the stripes! Wasnt too happy with the decals. The kit supplied hood decals were way too thick to use. Micro Sol did nothing to help them. At least these aftermarket (speedway) decals that I used were a tad better to work with. I still might try to find another set and do the stripe over. I’m not knocking the decal maker, because it’s the bulge in the hood, and my own mess ups as to why they look crappy. I’ve never had a car with only a few decals drive me crazy like this one did. But at least for now it’s all done. Fireball wheel package, and six pack set up. MM Sublime Lacquer with Testors Extreme clear.

Awesome build, Jason. So the decals weren’t all too bad then? Looks pretty darn nice to me. Appears that the White covered pretty good?

Awesome pony car builds. Very realistic looking, in my opinion. Makes me want to build another Mustang real soon.

The front grill from the kit fits horrible. You can see daylight around the edges where it meets the fender. But I have an extra GTX grill. They look like two totally different grills. The GTX grill isn’t perfect, but a lot better than the RR grill. I will most likely use this grill instead.

Finished the engine details. I planned on foiling but got involved with some things.

Thanks for the info. I know what you mean with the tires. I’m currently incorporating a set of his Goodyear tires on my 70 RR. I tried a new technique with raised letters. I use Vallejo Air white paint and put a dab on my fingertip and lightly touch the raised letters. Beats a brush or applicator hands down.

Looking real good Steve. What did you use, or how did you make those fuel filters? They look fantastic.

Yea Larry, I’m just going to switch them again from side to side. Won’t be factory perfect, but as long as that breather is on the rear of the valve cover. I’m not too concerned about the oil cap. I wish the valve covers came plain in all kits, so we can just add a breather, or PE caps as needed.

Now they just need to be switched around. Every pic I’ve seen has the oil cap on the pass side, but I’ll have to just have mine on the drivers side I suppose.

No... not at all Larry. I’m glad you chimed in on that. And that I didn’t proceed further. I fixed the covers, but now I think I’m going to fix them again. I really want the black homemade breather to be situated on the rear of the engine. It really doesn’t matter what side at this point. I do know I wanted the covers to be chrome on this particular build.

Everything looks spot on. Under hood and interior details are especially sharp. Very clean and detailed build.
