49 Plymouth and 65 Galaxy

[vabchrog]

Here is a look at what I'm working on. I need to lower the Galaxy in the rear. I'm going to make it without glass as it is an easy car to add glass to.





I have to remake a new mold for the 49 Plymouth and see how much lower I can get the rear end. I widen the rear a smidge and may have to do it one more time but looks like it will work with a TJET nicely.

:handgestures-thumbup: Awesome work there Roger, I love 'em both, although I'm a Ford fan, and love the Galax-ie, I'm lovin that Plymouth a bit more, and that bad boy will be on my "must have* list, as soon as you get 'em ready for sale :D

Very cool, 'cause I'm definitely gonna need a few of those Galaxies!
Nice work! -- Ernie :>)

I have been working both cars. The 65 Galaxie will be done this week end. I had work the wheel wells a tad an get the rear end as low as possible.

NOW THE 49 Plymouth I have one slosh cat that I'm going to make this. I removed the chrome and starting looking for pieces to make the ram charger. Since its white I can make the decals my self.



Now the street version is a different animal. If I cut the rear end of a TJET chassis it can be made to sit right. I might be able to take the rear bumper off and cast it separately with an indentation for the chassis and get it to set low enough to look right for a Lee Petty car. Its going to be awhile before its ready.

Roger, ohhh man, so you're gone make a High and Mighty too !? That's Cool ;) As for the Galaxie, I guess I'll be buying one of those off of you also, so put my name on one- ok :handgestures-thumbup:

[vabchrog]

I'm looking for an existing diecast etc. that has an air scoop that is close to the High and Mighty's. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Also if anyone as a pair of Rocket Science or Thunder Slick white walls I need a pair for High and Mighty

Hey Roger, this is waay Off Topic. But here are some pix I wanted to Upload to your Yahoo Group, pertaining to entries in your Camaro Contest. These pix show the 1980 Pro Stock Camaro of Reher and Morrison, that was always in the finals at the Nationals during the early 1980's and was considered THE Car to beat !

Looks like he has white walls on the back also. So what do you think is pulling it?

[Ralphthe3rd]

Looks like a '58 Plymouth towing it...like the New Auto World> "Christine" Movie car.

Here is a look at the progress so far.





I removed the front bumper and all the chrome except at the bottom edge of the car. I need to paint the rear wheels black and cut the front tires wodth so they are thinner.


Some how I misplaced the two 4 barrel carbs I had. Once I find them I can start on the ram charger. I have an idea for the exhaust I think will work. I have to trim the front wheel wells back. I not quire sure how I can mount the exhaust yet.
