Yes, they came out in 1964. Pretty high end stuff, but they were around... Bill Coon's T-Bird had an injected Cammer.

It's a pity there isn't a really good Cammer available in scale. The AMT ones mostly have the cam covers too long/narrow; the IMC one is way too small and the JoHan one is a cobbled together mod on a 429 block. The Johan cam covers have the best proportions, but the details are wrong - IIRC, theirs are symmetrical i.e. same part used both sides, which isn't correct.

My reference shows it to be a '32 Plymouth. It's a pic of an early version of the Rebel Rouser drag coupe.

Yes, I was trying to find a Plymouth body, either a Roadster or a Coupe that could be modified into a Roadster but came up with nothing. And as I posted a question about it (Was it here or in MCM, I can't remember), someone knew that it wasn't available. So I guess the only way is to try modifying a Ford into one.

I would have liked to build a replica of the Art Russell '32 Plymouth Roadster that is nowadays located here in Finland, and it looks the same as it did in the '60s!

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5
