1964 Impala Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I hope to eventually replicate my Grandfather's first car, a 1933 Dodge coupe. He hot rodded the car in the 60s by putting a 283 in it, with the all important Corvette valve covers and a 4 speed transmission. He still owns the car to this day. I have searched for a 1/24 or 1/25 model but have come up with nothing. Am I missing something? I thought a 1934 Ford Coupe would be pretty close. Here is a reference photo which is not of his car. Thanks In Advance, TR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Some years back, I built a 354-powered '33 Plymouth coupe... Back in 2013, a fella in Oz was working on that era Dodge and Plymouth resin masters... Here's another thread about the roadster... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 AND...the consensus is that you can get a good start with a '34 Ford. If you're working in 1/25, I'd suggest trying to find the 1/24 scale Monogram '34 Ford kit. As the Plymouth/Dodge cars are slightly larger than the contemporary Ford products, you'd be a little closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
