Hi
Looks like im building a Mopar. I need some help from A-body people. This may be the forum that will help so im here.
Im a Toy Designer in La, my wife and I are into vintage cars, bike and cool old stuff.
 
Hello from Minnesota! What are you building? There are is plenty of help here so just ask away. We also need pics to feed our addiction. I myself am a Lego maniac at almost 40!
 
Welcome,

I'm a member in Long Beach.

This is a great site, ton of nice people, and a lot of good information.

Regards,

Joe Dokes
 
Now I just do Matchbox trucks. I'll push to get some Mopar classics in, in fact I need to do my homework on what classics are already being done by us.

Things are changing at Mattel. I've been working there about 6-7 years. This the second moved I have done.

I've done a few Hot Wheels and Matchbox 1:64th cars but mostly Chevy and Fords. I did do the '34 Dodge Delivery truck. My last couple cars are coming out this year, one is Hotrod and the other is a creature car. Not out yet, can't share pics.


Anyhow, I'll be out with it. Im building a '33 Plymouth for my wife, most of the running gear will be early to mid 60's Mopar power.
She is mostly the Mopar freak, she also has a '59 Dodge Coronet. But I love working on the her cars.

I'm going to try to find a narrow 51" A-body 8 3/4 rear to put in the Plymouth, I already have a 318 with 727 from a 63-64 Dodge Dart. I'm finally working on the car so I know I will have to setup the rear sooner than later.
 
Awesome job to have, you lucky guy. Welcome from Pismo Beach,and Welcome to FABO.

Hi also from LA and Simi Valley.

Hope you had a chance to come out to Spring Fling a couple of weeks ago. I'm part of the Chrysler car club that organizes the event.

Fall Fling is coming up in October. Many of us go out to Mopars in May in Riverside. Great show and decent mopar swap.
 
I didnt get chance to go, I should have went, there is some particular parts I need. I'll look up Mopars in May. Dang just missed that one too!
The Plymouth just looks like a bunch of work. It will mainly be a fun learning experience.

As far Hot Wheels Duster, not sure will have to check. Im going to try to get an A-Body in the MBX line for next year, It turns out MBX makes some nice stockers now.

That's going to be sweet when you get going with it. Cool ride and even better with a 60's drive train instead of a Chebbie 350!!!!!
