    Trade my Highway 61 68 Hemi dart for a 340 4 speed GTS 1/18 Model

    You are correct. I would do a repaint if need be to get what I want on the car, buckets, console, 4 speed, 340. Personally I like the 383 car because of the hub caps as opposed to the mag wheel covers. Thanks for the help guiding others in my search. Cliff Ramsdell

    Installing a Brewers Hurst / Inland conversion shifter

    No, the lock out “T” handle is fixed in place with the set screw that usually retains the handle to the cable. The shifter uses the hurst spring loaded reverse lockout. Cliff Ramsdell
