The Dodge Boys 1964

One of my favorite builds. A photo etch grille and some Fred Cady decals add to the realism.

Great looking car.   That grill is awesome.

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.

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?

Cool ,love the oilpan never seen one like it . Quick tip( dullcoat the tires) gives a better apperance ,good job!

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! ?

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!
