3men2s Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Have been very busy with life in general and less time at the bench but not out of the hubby. Here is what I am working on. It is a replica of the Nostalgia Drag Racing P/S Colt. The owner of the real car Bob Mayerle reach me to make him a model of his race car. So far this is where I am. Using spare parts and aftermarket pieces I think this can be done.
misterNNL Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 What was the starting point for the body?Camaro?
iBorg Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Same question..... "What was the starting point for the body? Camaro?"
3men2s Posted February 8, 2019 Author Posted February 8, 2019 The body is a resin Dodge Colt that I got from Southern Motorsports.
Ralph Henderson Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Nice start. are you going to dress the motor up a bit to look like a Dodge Wedge? Maybe at least put the distributor in the front? Your build looks like you got the look nailed. GREAT job!!
Ralph Henderson Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) NICE!! It's amazing how one little detail can tie everything together... Great job! Edited February 8, 2019 by Ralph Henderson
Mahogany Rush Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Very nice build. Great detail work. Impressive cage work.
biggreenponcho Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I heard these Colts were absolute terrors to drive. Very unpredictable, but what would you expect with that short of a wheelbase and stupid amounts of power? Great topic, I look forward to seeing the finished result!
Rob Hall Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I bet this Pro Street Colt I saw Saturday was a wild drive. I should have taken a closer photo.
Vince66 Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) I built a 76 street colt with a 440 dual quad set up and lenko 5 speed linkage sold the car 2 weeks after breaking it in WILD DOESN'T describe this little car a 318 would make it go quick 440 made it an insane pro street. 1999 the last time i drove it a camaro challenged me went shoulder to shoulder when it broke loose next day it was up for sale. Sold it then went stock car racing on the roundy round and road courses. Neat build you have going on. Edited June 29, 2019 by NothingAsFineAsaW9

NYLIBUD Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Here are some pics of the old school Centerline wheels that I was talking about, that IMO would look great on your model.again,you can find these in the aboveRickie Smith T Bird Pro stock.And the car is coming out great.They are already polished,spiff go with those wheels,u don’t have to paint them.
