Altered Ego

Positively speechless

Good eye my friend. I thought it would be a modification someone would try back in the day. Adding a box plenum to the cammer manifold.

Got some work done on the Rice Holman Mustang as well. The cammer fits rather snugly, but it does fit.

Making some progress on the Missile and thought I would share a couple of items. Decided to push the rules and go with a Lenco transmission. Thanks to RacheroSteve for providing the gold anodized Lenco shifter (perfect for this project). I also went with aluminum bucket seats. The wheel tubs from any AMT altered wheelbase kit fit perfectly and you can cut along the frame rail kick to get the perfect tread width with the wider slicks.

The Joneic decals are from Polecat and applied nicely. The hood on the missile is from Slixx, a Competition Resins piece. Required a little sanding on both sides to fit correctly.

Got the first two painted, decaled and mocked up today.

I found this and my have some other stuff to go with it.

I have at least one of those frames with some additional parts. Tell about the Boss 429 engine.

I've already done the Dyno Don Cougar, but I will give you a hint on the Cammer. Your Ed Terry and Dave Lyall Mustangs inspired me build this one.

Taking a break from Altered Wheelbase for a little bit. Started three new Pro Stocks this weekend and though I would share a sneak peak into what I am planning.

You are my hero. You have a gift when it comes to marrying certain kit pieces together.

I did receive a reply last night.

I ordered from them on Jan 7th and received payment information the next day. I paid the bill on Jan 8th and still haven't received my decals. I have emailed twice with no response. What was that email address RattleCan?

Now this is going to be an interesting project to follow. I have long wanted to build a Huston Platt car. Of course an altered wheelbase car would be preferable, but this car is the most famous and I really had no idea where to start. I am glad you are doing this one. I have considered the 1964 Chevelle, but haven't found the decals for it.

I don't need the Mickey Thompson, but I do have the TV Tommy you can have
