LOVE that mint-green '63 Polara!
Chromed reversed wheels on the front of a '64 Plymouth. Was originally the Melrose Missile VI with a Hemi, slightly altered wheelbase, aluminum...
Hello Rocky! I appreciate your well-composed reply. Sure is a shame that we can't get all the current east-coast A/GS cars in 1 place at the...
LeftCoastErik, I did see your father-in-law's Plymouth out there, although I do not know him. There was a bunch of neat ol' MoPars running at...
HA! I just realized that this thread was a year old when I posted! I searched for Cecil County and Red Baron. Figured that I might find pics of...
Hi guys! Dad and I ran with Ken at Cecil County yesterday. Was a good time even though the track was slippery. Even with less than stellar...
OK, it's been a while. This weekend I mated the "Sensation" chassis with my Dodge shell. Everything went smoothly, and I'm probably 1 more weekend...
I'm loving the pics of that '63 Dodge from when it was dusted off. That is EXACTLY the "feel" that I am aiming for with my '63 Dodge! Thanx...
There was some mention of the "Kentucky Colonel" Dodge in this thread. What a shame.... downright unjust. Seeing a car that remained...
Holy crap! It's the '65 Plymouth of "Captain Danger"! Looking good; let's hope it stays shiny-side-up and doesn't go "roof racing"!!!...
Little update here: I've recently been contacted by an individual who was very close to the "Sensation" Plymouth and had done some work on the...
OK, this one has been inactive for a while; so I'll stir the pot. I'll not go as far as to draw conclusions between the 2 here, but just keep this...
Thanx for posting that match race flyer Mr. Guffey. Cool stuff! I still get goosebumps when I think about seeing the Golden Commandos car...
I'll throw up a few pictures of modified hardtop doorjambs. I used a pair of convertible doorjambs/quarters to convert my 4-door sedan to a...
Here is another pic or 2. The lighting outside wasn't great, but hopefully it'll serve the purpose. There is what appears to be tow-tabs welded...
As for the "funny car" term, it can be traced back to 1965 when the AWB Mopars initially appeared (before the FoMoCo "floppers"), but hey.......
Was there a standard location for SEMA tags on '60s-built chassis? I did some googling and now know what they look like (pic attached). I gave...
Thanx for the confirmation on the spindles! I didn't realize that the cross-steer setup was implemented that early in Fords. I figured it woulda...
Same car, after the chassis (which I currently have) was built under it. Gotta be something to the story that is attached to the chassis....
I'm still trying to work all this out. All the info that I got from Reed came right from Bernie Wadekamper, who said he had the chassis built by...
I spoke with Don Long on the phone. He does not remember and/or will not speak about this car. All the info that I have points to the chassis...
All of this is looking great! You scored the body panels to rebuild an old car; I scored the chassis to rebuild an old car. All is well that ends...
I didn't know there was talks of this! I woulda spoke up sooner if I did! I just sent them an email and offered to pony up the money in advance...
I found 1 of the links I was looking for! http://public.fotki.com/rwildeone/auto-reference/mags/misc/car-model-revellpac/
Anybody out there? JohnnyB327, anything more on that aparrantly Orange Crate bodied custom that your dad built?
Big thanx to everybody who has posted 60's vintage photos. There has been too many REALLY freakin' good pics posted to single any out; but I gotta...
Looking good!
Yep, familiar with the talk about a book on the subject; thanx! Still looking for the online album of pictures from the magazine coverage way...
Not so long ago, I found (and misplaced the link to) a fotki or whatever online picture album that contained scanned pictures from the '60s...
