PHPaul Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago I have a '64 Galaxie body (from the Cal Drag combo kit) that I want to use as the basis for a Pro Street model. Unfortunately, the tow car is a curbside and the only really usable part is the body. I intend to build a tubular frame but I'm going to need a suitable engine/trans/rear end and ideally some suspension bits. Can anyone recommend a 1:25 kit that I could swipe parts from?
stavanzer Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago I'd look at the Round2/AMT '69 Galaxie and the '67 Mustang AWB/Street Freak. Both have Big (427?) engines, and some nice wheels. The May not be ProStock but could be a good parts source.
SSNJim Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago (edited) The Revell Lincoln LSC that was recently released would be a good candidate. It should have everything you need to build a Pro Street, including street tires. The chassis will be a bit short and probably narrow, but the mechanical bits will likely be good.

PHPaul Posted 17 hours ago Author Posted 17 hours ago The Lincoln looks interesting. I'll see if I can find some detail pictures of the drivetrain. I'd really like a dual quad tunnel ram intake. I see lots of them with blowers or Hilborn-style injectors.
Mark Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago (edited) For an engine, I'd look at 3D print items...lots of choices out there. Chassis...think about starting with a NASCAR truck chassis (wide enough for an older full-size car), cut away all of the floor, and swap in a tubbed rear section from the biggest Pro Street chassis out there, like the '70 Coronet or '67 Chevelle. The NASCAR truck front end uses tubular A-arms and will be beefy enough to look right under a big car. Edited 17 hours ago by Mark Spell check
Straightliner59 Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago You might take a look at the '80s Monogram Pro Stockers. They have big tubs, ans A-arm front suspensions. T-birds would have the big Fords with dual carbs.
