1964 Impala Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 I hope to eventually replicate my Grandfather's first car, a 1933 Dodge coupe. He hot rodded the car in the 60s by putting a 283 in it, with the all important Corvette valve covers and a 4 speed transmission. He still owns the car to this day. I have searched for a 1/24 or 1/25 model but have come up with nothing. Am I missing something? I thought a 1934 Ford Coupe would be pretty close. Here is a reference photo which is not of his car. Thanks In Advance, TR
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Some years back, I built a 354-powered '33 Plymouth coupe... Back in 2013, a fella in Oz was working on that era Dodge and Plymouth resin masters... Here's another thread about the roadster...
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 AND...the consensus is that you can get a good start with a '34 Ford. If you're working in 1/25, I'd suggest trying to find the 1/24 scale Monogram '34 Ford kit. As the Plymouth/Dodge cars are slightly larger than the contemporary Ford products, you'd be a little closer.
1964 Impala Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 Thanks for the help, and very nice coupe. Bet that is a quick one with that engine! Thanks Again, TR
