Still not sure which hood to use so I am making both.

Looks like another beauty is in the works ! Is that their Modified Production car ?

[Snake45]

I like where this is going! Will be watching.

Reminds me, I need to buy that new S&M book that just came out. If it's got as many great pics as the Grumpy Jenkins book, it'll be a great reference and idea mine.

Hey RR Roger, (lol)  I love your choice to build this one!

[dragcarz]

You've got my attention, Johan kit? 

[caine440]

I picked up the book when it first came out and it is indeed a good read.

Another great one it the book Sox & Martin put out back in 74 ( think)

I am going with what I think was a B/MP car.

Still not totally sure.

Johan body, AMT chassis with parts boxes goodies.

Nice!

I thought that it was going to be the M/P car , judging by the crossram induction (Stock and Super Stock required a stock-ish induction , iirc) .

Following too.   Who doesn't love late 60' RR's?  Especially S&M stuff.

I also have been meaning to pick up the S&M book on Amazon, hoping it's as good a read/reference as Da Grump's book was.  I read that one straight in a couple of days and love the pix.

Well it definitely looks like you've got the reference material handled Roger. Lookin' forward to this one.

[Roadrunner]

Those are some cool looking references.

Ive seen tbis car with the 2 different hoods and just assumed they were 2 seperate cars.

An A12 car and a hemi car....????

....this photo was taken at the 69 Winternationals at Pomona......it was actually their 68 RR then retro fitted with new 69 body trim, painted and re lettered.  It ran in B/MP class as did Landys 69 Charger, and Landy won the event  with Herb McCandless  at the wheel, until Landy won in the final pass against Riffles Anglia gasser if I recall. the Sox and Martin RR here apparently rolled off the trailer soon after and was wrecked so I have been told. In the 69 season, though, they also did have a SS/E class hemi car similar but in legal S/S trim, and later a 440 six pack RR too.  this timeless photo is one of my all time favorites of any SM car, and its hard to tell in the pic, but I think that's Don Carlton at the wheel.....love your project here, I'm slowly but surely working presently of a 68 RR B/MP  car myself.....regards, the Ace.....

[caine440]

It is slowly coming together.

[Codi]

That's sharp Roger.  I like the stance in particular.  cheers

[Snake45]

Yes, looking very good!

[maltsr]

Great start Roger.

[om617]

Looking good,nice progress. 

[Bob Ellis]

I met them at a Boston Chyrsler -Plymouth dealer back in the Summer of 1971. My brother reluctantly took me there.

Roger, you'll need to get the new Landy book as well. Got mine this past weekend at Carlisle Chrysler show and it is a great book.

I have the landy book on order. Looking forward to it.

[crazyrichard]

sweet , looking good !

[caine440]

Will get the foil and glass tonight if all goes well.

[Roadrunner]

Looking great. The only car model that I can recall building that was similar, was a silver and red job, but the name of the driver eludes me right now.
