6bblbird Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 One of my favorite builds. A photo etch grille and some Fred Cady decals add to the realism. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altered Ego Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 One of my favorite F/Xers from 1964. Nicely done. I wish someone would make one with the 2% wheelbase alteration. Oh well, maybe you have inspired me to try it sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajohn97 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Nice job Walt! I particularly like the PE grill, valve stems on the rear wheels and the neat & tidy BMF work. So what’s with the rod passing through the oil pan? Did you make the front wheels steerable by adding pins to the front axle hubs and adding a tie rod?

I did actually move the axles forward a bit! check how close the front tires are to the fender edge in the oil pan picture. Rear tires are just about touching the rear 1/4 panel. It wasn't easy figuring out 2% in 1/25 scale! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you make the front wheels steerable by adding pins to the front axle hubs and adding a tie rod? I was not uncommon for Mopar racers to deepen the oil pan and install a tie rod tube. Sox & Martin sold them over the counter. I had a magazine article on this car and I copied the oil pan and rear suspension. The article stated that the car used a Ford toploader transmission. That's a Ford transmission in there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
