Sox & Martin Duster

[Scott Eriksen]

And another 30 year old build , I used the AMT 71 Duster and if I recall a Ross Gibson Hemi with a Rat Roaster intake ,,some things I didn't do but should have was paint the engine Ford blue  and a more correct engine (Tunnel Ram,,,D5 dual plug heads etc. )  Not as much reference material back then as there is now like Jim Schilds Sox & Martin book and books by Geoff Stunkard and others.

Thanks Bob ,,never thought I'd still have these models 30 odd years later!

Really nice rendition of an S&M Duster, especially for a 30 year old build. Wish I had kept my 30 year olds builds.

[Yeah Nah]

Real nice. Paint is beautifully executed.

[Nitrobarry]

Where did you find those wheels? The old AMT '57 Chevy kit? Great looking build, 30 years old and still looks amazing.

I love the build and love the creative liberties taken.  Who's to say they didn't test an intake like this at some backwoods match race track?

That is a fine looking S&M Duster - one of my most favorite teams.  You're right about the reference material back in the day, magazines consisted of a color photo on the cover if you were lucky and B&W pics in the article.  The book you mentioned is awesome.

I have an old S&M Duster build I stalled out on due to finding out the engines were painted ford blue by Jake King.

Those Keystones were from the old MRC Muscle Car Hop up wheel set

Scott, that is one nice Sox & Martin build my friend..You got my creative juices going to build my own..Couple of questions, Did you back half or mini tub it? 2nd the motor, Where did you get the Ross Gibson hemi? 3rd, What size are the rear slicks and where did you get them? Again an outstanding build.

Thanks Maurice! No back half,the Gibson Hemi I got back in the 90's from my local hobby shop that is long gone now and the slicks came from the JoHan Sox & Martin 'cuda kit
