charlie8575 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Be adventurous and try converting one into a Coronet or Satellite wagon. Here's the dimensions you need to work. With a 1/25 scale ruler, you can figure out the rest of it without too much trouble (height, door sizes, etc.) http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/main.php?g2_itemId=38986&g2_imageViewsIndex=1 Charlie Larkin P.S.: If you decide to try it, on behalf of us wagon folk all over, consider talking to a resin caster to get it cast.

Jon Cole Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Ya know what I think? I think you should check out these two albums in search of inspiration! DODGE: http://public.fotki.com/JCole/11_mopar-1/11_dodge/ PLYMOUTH: http://public.fotki.com/JCole/11_mopar-1/11_plymouth/ BTW, both albums are arranged alphabetically, to make searching for a year or name easier.
