Thanks for the info again Gary. I believe I will do that 65 Butch Leal car, I've got some pretty good photos laying around of it somewhere. Coming to mind then is what about a Ross Gibson engine for it too? I think he's got just the period correct one for it and I further presume it used a torqueflite?
For the Bonneville car I was thinking more of just one of the parts pack engines being good, like the 392 hemi. I wasn't suggesting the T Body. I'm going with a channelled Duece for mine from the most recent Amt Coupe reissue, but not for Bonneville use, either a street rod or nostalgia drag car I think. For the B Ville tires, boy, I don't know. Maybe those in the very early Monogram issues which have been reissued, like the Green Hornet or Black Widow? They kind of have that bulbous sidwall, narrow tread look that looks right for a dry lakes racer and have the smooth full hubcap discs so common there too if I remember correctly. Not unlike 4os and 5os type Indy car tires.
On your Mopar Super Stock, what I'm getting at is, I'd almost bet Lindberg uses the same motor mounts for the Petty Belvedere, Stock Belvedere even though its a wedge and not a Hemi ( the leaning tower of power has its own special mounts to add in the kit but we know thats a whole different story for another day lol), for the 64 Dodge Super Stocks and for the 64 Dodge 330 street version to save tooling costs even though of course the 1/1 cars had different ones. Worth checking out anyway. If not, I could send you a Ramchargers Lindberg 64 Dodge front frame section, K frame and front suspension from my spares box that you could put on the back half of the Plymouth Chassis. Hot Rod came out with a special Anniversary Hemi edition magazine within the past year that should still be available, and if not I can send you a copy of a good photo they have in there of a 2% car. It is one of the 64 Melrose Missles running against Landy's 64 sedan as an AHRA Ultra Stock I believe. Lots of good stuff in the mag if you can find it though.
Finally, whew, for the 63 Plymouth, Modelhaus offers chromed front and rear bumpers, hood ornaments, Turn signal lights, the whole 9 yards. They're made for Johan and I'm virtually positive thats what your 63 body was patterned off of.
I also happen to have an extra set of 63 64 type fenderwell headers I'd be willing to swap for the Tri Y's if thats the sort of thing you might be looking for. They were designed for the 64 Johan Hemi Dodge Hardtop and I also have a spare or two of the indented Max Wedge type hoodscoop if you would like that, though I imagine you're probably looking towards using the large Hemi type scoop. Let me know. I hope this helps, and your input has given me at least two new good ideas. Thank you. Now tomorrow I have to get started on some of this stuff.
