Or if you could find a set and don't mind cutting your inner fenders, old school fenderwell headers. I had a set on my 2nd '65. Very eye-catching when the hood is up. :thumbsup: Not sure if they even still make them.

I would use the above pic to measure your center link as I think it was hit or miss when these cars were built. My first car was a '65 Valiant w/ a 340/727 & 8 3/4. I had a second one with the same 340 and a 4 speed. Neither car rubbed on the center link and both were /6s (first was a 170 & the...

Dang, sorry to hear that, Rob. :( We have several scrapes and dings in the wife's '17 Challenger from being hit in parking lots while parked in a HANDICAP spot. :mad: It's black so every little scratch shows. She says how does this happen? I remind her that I have said for years that most...

Call me old-fashioned but I still make-do with Testors. :thumbsup:

They are releasing a '72 Duster 340 also. Both are on my want list. :thumbsup:

Nice. :thumbsup: I ought to go down to the basement and look through all the Matchbox/Hot Wheels/etc. I boxed up when our son moved out 15 yrs. ago. Rat Rod Al, I had a '67 GTX in LL1 w/ a black interior, 440, 4 spd. I have always regretted selling that car. I have a 1/25th scale kit that I'm...

Wow, tough crowd.... :rolleyes:

As mentioned, a right angle filter adapter should solve your oil filter problem. Had a 340 in a '65 Valiant and don't remember any problems with the oil filter (with factory adapter) and it's tighter than your '67 which is identical to the '68 'cuda the engine came out of...

That '37 Chevy was the 2nd model car I ever built many years ago. Of course, at 14 I built it as a street machine. I would love to build another just for old times sake but haven't run across one. Best of luck with them. :thumbsup:

I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one that is slow to finish a model. :lol: I have a replica of my first car ('65 Valiant) that just needs painting. Total of 15 that need to be painted including a Hemi Dart and the '69 Dart kit I scavenged the 440 from. I decided to use it to build a replica of a...

Nice work. :thumbsup: I have several replicas I'm building of cars I had including a '65 Valiant. Another is a '67 GTX 440, 4 spd. in LL1.

When my Dad & I put mine together back in the winter of '70-'71, he used the complete exhaust system from the '68 'cuda the 340 came out of, manifolds, hangers, and all. Notched the rear valance to clear the tips. I don't recall ever having a problem with it hitting. Pretty sure I would have...

Scalefinishes.com came highly recommended to me. I haven't used the 2 I bought yet but soon.... Scalefinishes.com

At least 2 more to add to the stash... :thumbsup:

Still on the fence about buying a Bandit Resin. I would love to have a notchback as they are my favorite '67-9 'cuda but I thought my wife was gonna stroke out after paying $40 for the Bandit Resin '65 Valiant several years ago. :lol: Bought the MPC kit to finish it and I hated the inner fenders...
