I don't think so. '63-'64 is right in the heart of TRaK territory. It's not even particularly long in wheelbase. This kit does build up nicely and you've don it justice.

If anything is even slightly off, it might be the slicks, & they're still correct for 67-69, so it still fits perfectly. Good looking model too!

It is not a kit. it is the Garlits rail, the Mongoose Hemi and the Slingster body.

it is good to have it mistaken for a kit though! Paul

I thought it was the Jawbreaker, of course. That's because I overlooked the smaller, better proportioned body. It explains why it looked so tight and hooked up. That's a nice combo. The Garlits chassis is probably the nicest chassis out there of the FED options, having round tubing and mid-length wheelbase and even posable front steering if you care to include it. But I tend to neglect it because of the idiosyncratic 3-point roll cage setup with its longer, shallower angle (a Garlits shop trademark shared by virtually no other source that I've seen). Hidden under the competition coupe body the chassis looks quite prototypical without giving away its Floridian source, LOL.

From your post of the completed model you meant the MPC Wynnscharger. But it looks to me like you must have sortened the chassis. Proportions look too nice to be a 200+ w.b. chassis...

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: fyi I did Pay for ad free here, I might have to renew that Jan 23, 2024 23:51:04 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: I hope you are all having a nice Memorial Day weekend! May 26, 2024 8:26:51 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: have a good weekend everyone! Oct 25, 2024 17:25:38 GMT -5

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
