    Racing a Post or Hardtop, is one better ?

    I've always been curious as to why Hemi Darts were hard tops and not post sedans. There wasn't really a 'Cuda post-type car either so Plymouth would have had to field a Valiant. And despite hard tops having somewhat less overall rigidity, they didn't come with frame connectors either. It really...

    Racing a Post or Hardtop, is one better ?

    Post cars are (generally) more structurally rigid and lighter. The B pillar is what provides the rigidity - it's literally a vertical support column (a post!) that spans the the height of the car from the rocker to the roof and ties it all together. Because of that, they require less peripheral...

    1965 Plymouth 2% A/FX cars

    Kinda looks like Isky! Makes some sense - the pic is in Cali. Maybe they were testing cams? Don't know if the Lawman was running an Isky stick though. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, the Isky "550 Super LaGerra(sp?)" cam was the hot ticket around that time.

    1965 Plymouth 2% A/FX cars

    OK, here's another view of that "mule" picture (I guess?) from above with the guys in suits, as named in the caption. Kind of a H.O.F. group there. Note the institutional cinder block walls. This next pic is fairly informative (if correct) regarding the development timeline. These are from...

    1965 Plymouth 2% A/FX cars

    Not surprisingly, someone's already been down it. It's the Amblewagon facility. As always, Google is one's friend. The place was in Birmingham, MI. See the address at the bottom of the sheet - 2191 Cole Street.

    1965 Plymouth 2% A/FX cars

    Did the AWB cars get the same aluminum parts treatments? I know they had fiberglass dashes but am not sure about things like the column jacket or brake pedal. Seems nuts they went through that exercise for four cars for one race.

    Huh.

    1965 Plymouth 2% A/FX cars

    I never realized the 2% cars didn't have vent windows! The windows look like Lexan. The pics of the High And The Mighty car appear to be/are two different bodies, you can tell by the front wheel opening. Seems probable the one with the red windows is a recreation. Looking at the pic of the...

    1965 Plymouth 2% A/FX cars

    Found this on Moparts from several years ago. This is a print of that car I've had for years, sorry for the dust! In this pic it looks like it has a straight axle in the front.

    62-65 Car show

    Did that red car come out of Mosher's shop? Looks like the one they built about 20 years ago. I used to have a '65 Bel 1 but sold it back in '08 to a guy down in South Jersey somewhere. I often wonder what happened to it! Originally came out of Stockton, CA. 1998. 2007 1965 SS1 Ivory, a...

    64 AFX build

    Not too many ‘64s were turned into altered wheelbase cars, the exception obviously being Landy’s car which was originally a 2% that they modified to run in A/FX. How about some details? What front wheels do you have in mind? A100 straight axle? Art Carr push button?

    Any super stock seat bracket experts here?

    Just an FYI, the Super Stock cars never had sliders as the seats were fixed. The S/S seats also fold forward. I have a pair of fixed A100 seats from a driver's ed module, they have those sliders as well. Like the pic above of the seat bottoms, the holes in the seat frames did not line up with...
