mk11 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Wow! That would fill quite a gap in the resin offerings, with all the interest in the vintage drag cars out there. Would even make an easy conversion to a two door, as the side apertures are the same on 2 and 4 door cars. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Spectacular! Yes, I do hope you allow a resin caster to make copies, as well. I take it you're attempting to replicate the Savoy wagon in the pictures? Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am making it as close to a kit for possible resin. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Excellent fabrication and kit bashing skills! I would love to see some of these old Mopars issued as new toolings. Chrysler had some delightfully quirky design trends back then. David G. Edited February 16, 2023 by David G. typo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyG Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Been making some progress on my 62 Plymouth wagon. The 413 Max Wedge engine is from a bunch of parts from different kits but the valve covers and manifold are resin. The manifold is one I made as a master that Missing Link casted. Those carbs are from Fireball, Joseph is the best for added detail and are highly recommended. The firewall and fender panels are from the Lindberg Dodge kit but modified for accuracy, they are resin as well. Interior door panels and base is a very close fit. Dashboard will have a separate gauge panel and center speaker grille. Hope you like the progress. Edited May 24, 2023 by BobbyG 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Lots of good detail on the engine, the body is coming along nicely too. David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyG Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 The 413 Max Wedge is just about done, needing the starter and TorqueFlite trans. Next up is the Hemi race engine with cross ram and carb details. The Johan valve covers were stripped and painted with Valspar Brilliant Silver spray can, just the right shade. The carb stacks have Detail Master p/e round speaker grilles and thin foam. Fireball's Holley 3116 carbs. Cross ram manifold is from Missing Links. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
