Need help finding blueprints
Posted by TheWildChild on Monday, January 14, 2013 12:45 PM

Can anybody point me in the right direction for mid 60s to early 70s dodge and ford truck blueprints? I have destroyed google for about an hour, with no luck. I want to make one out of brass and styrene, so the better the blue prints, well, the better lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

1/35 XM77  "Sledgehammer", 1964 Chevy Impala Derby Car

Whats next? Aircraft for Ground Attack Group Build

I find scale drawings of cars to be the hardest to obtain of any genre of model subject.  I have had to do my own for a number of scratch projects.  Fortunately digital photography and cheap CAD programs have made this feasible if you can find a prototype to photograph.

There was one car magazine that when it reviewed cars and trucks at least included a side elevation drawing.  Forget which mag, but it is one that goes way back.  Next time I am at the library I will see if I can find it.  There is a british company that offers scale drawings of ships, cars and other vehicles, that used to be available through Dromedary, but I have not seen anyone else offer those in US after dromedary went out of business.  And, their car drawings were only classic, historic car subjects.

So, as I say, you are generally on your own resources.  Still, those cars are probably more available to find than historic airplanes or ships.
