Just got my hands on a Motor City Resin casters 63 Valiant trans kit. Very nice cast but does take a while to get your order. This one uses the amt 71 duster chassis and engine compartment. My plans are to try and fit the Ross Gibson Hyper Pak resin slant six in it and make a Drag car out of it.

Nice Panch! I had to scratch build all my decals years ago. Don't mean to hijack the thread, but if it brings some cars out of the bushes that good, right?

back when i was heavy into modeling i would buy decal paper (it came in clear and white) and print my own
design it on the computer (or copy and paste)print a test on regular paper and when i liked it, i would print it on the decal paper
spray a few coats of clear and the next day i could apply them like regular decals

Thanks, the decals I had are the ones from slot car fever. Not the best but for the car they are fine. I like the size of your 8's much better then the ones from slot car fever. I like your Darts as well. Been thinking about trying to do the 66 Ramchargers Dart.
 
I have never seen a color picture of his car. I had a professional photographer look at the black and whit pictures and he said that it was a shade of red or orange. SO my brother in law made them and that is what we used on the car. The petty cars would have been easier!
I sure would like to get one of those Gibson Hyper Pak engines, but haven't found one yet.
 
Where did you find the 63 Valiant body and what's the cost?
Its a Resin trans kit from Motor City Resin Casters, sells for $60 plus the shipping. Really nice stuff but does not come with window glass and they do take a while to get. I think it was just shy of 3 months to get after I had ordered it. But where else you going to find one lol.
