1972 Dodge Colt
WOW, what a fast reply sir. The information is exactly what I was seeking. I also appreciate your willingness to let me reach out should I have further questions. I'll probably have some more but yes, I've been doing my best to research Mr. Hardy's work and timelines. I'm building it as a 75' Pro Stock / Match Race car. I build 1/25th scale (car is about 6 1/2" long) Sadly, I LOVE Colt's but there are no kits produced for me to do one. I did buy a Japanese kit and cut it up to get the proportions correct but I set it aside and went Maverick instead. It's not going to be an exact replica but more of a "what if". Big fan of Gapp & Roush. The completed engine I machined out of aluminum as a Boss 494 Can Am motor with dual in-line Autolite carbs. Engines done and some other important bits but now onto the chassis which I'm about to draw up. Will do the double frame rail with ladder bar set-up. Dana 60 among other goodies.
I don't mean to hi-jack your thread and if you're curious you can find my builds at "Steppenwolf56" (FOTKI pics)......again, my sincerest thanks and I'll be sure to follow along as you near completion of your car. Cheers
