You're absolutely correct . The plug wires and boots are way too small , just another of several things that are just "off" with these kits .

Inspired by an old Tom Daniel sketch from '71 it was built by bashing a 'Cuda diecast body with a TD Boss Mustang Snap-Tite body , my first time using a diecast and it went fairly smoothly . Chassis/wheels & tires are from the Boss Mustang . I made my own decals and the paint is Tamiya Pure White cleared with TS-13 . Had fun building this one , thanks for looking ! This is what I started with . WIP thread at this link : https://car-toons.proboards.com/thread/1746/tom-daniel-snap-tite-snake More pics .

Beautiful ! I agree that the understated look is much nicer than the '71 'cuda .

Very very nicely done , love that blue !

Boy that turned out super nice . . . love that red !

Very nice !

Great choice of parts to build a beautiful little coupe , very well done !

Great weathering job ! I prefer new and shiny but I'd drive this one !

Well done , that's one sharp Duster !

Excellent write up on your restoration , thanks for posting the link !

Really like the look of the sedan over the hardtop , very nice conversion ! The wheels don't do much for me but that's just personal preference . . . beautiful looking Malibu !

Big GTX fan here , love that color ! Great work Jim !

Sharp looking Chevy with some great detailing !

Hey guys , here are links to the "Car Model Dodge Contest" and to the "Dodge Fever II" build articles . https://public.fotki.com/TooOld/models/misc-/magazine-articles/car-model-dodge-contest/ https://public.fotki.com/TooOld/models/misc-/magazine-articles/dodge-fever-ii-wip-/

According to the text the body was stock except for the rear wheel wells .

Snake , don't know if you remember my Eliminator II build from last year . I used a stock Cyclone body on the MPC Cougar F/C chassis and merely moved the entire rear suspension/axle rearward to line up with the body . Very easy and no mods were required . But the MPC chassis is a Stage I and I believe the Polar Lights is the correct Stage II chassis .

I was going to pick the 2C or the Dino coupe as my favorites but to be honest I really like them all ! I wouldn't mind seeing some individual photos of these posted . Still kicking myself for selling all of my slot cars a few years ago .

Place the yellowed plastic in a clear glass jar full of Hydrogen Peroxide and set it in the sun , a few hours later the yellowing will be gone . The HO slot car guys restore their old Aurora bodies and windows this way . . . I've tried this and it DOES work .

Beautifully done ! I had a couple cars set up just like this back the then , love the look !

Now that's a real beauty ! Always like this body style . Great job !

I see nothing wrong with it and I love the color ! Great job Bill !

Beautifully done Roger ! The conversion to a wagon looks like it came out of the box that way !

Nice custom ! Beautifully done !

Great looking Ramchargers' cars ! Never tire of seeing these beautiful race cars .

Absolutely YES , I'll take two right now ! Where ? How ?
