...and kenniffler-pins should NEVER NEVER be chromed !!!

Yup. And when people see something I've done that took several tries, including failures, and they say something like "boy, you have a lot of talent", well, to a certain degree talent does come into it, but I was God-given whatever talent I may have, so I can't take any credit for it. In the long run, it's not so much "talent" as it is, like Tom said... ...and THAT'S where a heaping helping of personal satisfaction comes in: knowing I stuck with something difficult and beat it. For MYSELF. For FUN.

Looks good, and I much prefer it in orange. Most definite thanks for the heads-up on the red dots. Your drilling of the interior panels is a nice improvement, too.

Every time I find myself to be on the verge of having fun, I jab myself in the eye with a stick.

I love old altereds and careful, historically and technically accurate builds. Nice going. Turbo Nova is exactly right about how wishbones function, and Greg's pix and links are very helpful to anyone building something like this, as always. This is a GREAT forum !!

Have you tried the "toughened" Loctite CA? Between that and drilling / pinning small parts, I've had very good results so far.

Just for the record, I was wrong. It IS a wedge. Here are the "before" pix of the entire car. http://www.moparsbymosher.com/finished/65plymouths/moshers65/moshers65.html

So can you run a large-journal 327 crank in a 350, 4-bolt-main block ? That should give you a 4-bolt 327. They both have 4" bores, the bore spacing is the same, and the heads will all bolt on. Will the crank work ?

Yeah, but you know the media. It's a lot more "shocking !!!" (OMG OMG !!!) to say it "hit a tree at 150" than to say it maybe was capable of 150 but wasn't going anywhere near that fast when it plowed through some limbs and bushes.

Stealing a car with the intent to "permanently deprive" the owner of the vehicle is usually a felony, no matter if state lines are not crossed. It's a big deal. Muy bad. In other circumstances, it can also be a lesser charge like "joyriding", and may depend on the jurisdiction, perpetrator's age, prior record, value of the vehicle, etc.

And there's this entire thread...http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=44500

And there's the MPC version... And a Testors metal kit...

My cat's STILL alive, and her back legs are miraculously working again.

Yes, a real, well set-up Hemi car like this is capable of sub-10 second 1/4 mile times (they broke the 10-second thing in 1965) with a trap speed of 130+ mph. That's just what it could accelerate to in 1/4 mile...

Very good looking car. Sorry about the donk thing. I just couldn't resist.

My guess is that it was set up as a super-stock nostalgia drag car, and wasn't intended to be run on the street. Of course, nobody told the moron who stole and destroyed it.

And yes, that's probably a little optimistic too...

Looks like drag-slicks and narrow radials (if they're V-rated, they're good to 149mph) in front. I don't see the problem... Of course, it wouldn't corner very well...

Great stuff! I'm always interested in ANYTHING that actually gets raced, and I had no idea this style of car even existed. Thanks for the heads-up.

There's "walked away", and then there's "survived". My guess is that whatever is left looks like bloody jelly and will be on full life support forever. Before... after...

If you're gonna put a 327 in your Camaro, you might also consider using the famous "double hump" heads. They're still available in junkyards, and they work very well. Many years ago, I put a 327 (365-horse based engine, but with headers and a little more cam) with the double humps in a Triumph Stag. Pretty fast car. Here's a nice article on compare / contrast of the best of the 2-humps. http://www.circletrack.com/enginetech/ctrp_0912_chevrolet_double_hump_cylinder_heads/viewall.html

Well, if you only search within the topic, you won't get all that many hits. Some user involvement IS required to perform a search correctly using the available tools, and to sort the MOST relevant hits, just like in ANY search. And if the words "Buick" or "nailhead" aren't included in a post, the post won't show up at all in a search for either word. I do a large amount of research online, and I'm not grasping the "problem".
