Here is my Camaro, still in the building stages, got to order some new black wheels. Desiding on car color but won't be PINK.
Hope to spend more time
on it after Christmas. I would like to wish all a Blessed Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

Looking good my friend!! Mine is wrapped and sitting under the tree!! I forgot that every thing I buy in Dec. is a present under the tree.
It looks like I will be doing some painting in the good old AZ.

OK!!! THATS IT!!! I cant take it any more! Nice looking car my friend!! I am going to the Hobby Lobby today in the minst of all the CHAOS for Christmas and Im going to cross the line and I am buying the 1969 Plymouth GTX...(it has an "X") even though I am a Chevy guy at heart. Everyone knows Im not very fast, not to mention that I have never done on of these before...BUT, I am going to make it look Awesome and I am sure that it will spend more time on the track for everyone to enjoy its beauty.
Oh that GTX should fit you well! Mopar=Slowcar! But I'm sure it will be pretty!

OK, here are your body choices for the Street Rod class. The Truck kit's proved to be to time consuming and difficult to mount. So you have three muscle cars to choose from. You don't have to buy from here on the link, all 3 cars are under $17. The cars must be made by AMT, and the 1/25 scale. You have to run one of these three.
Here is you Ford offering,

Here's the Chevy,

Here's the Mopar,

Hope you like them because that's what you got to choose from.
Is it fixed at exactly the same year as shown on the models above? I.e. can it be a year earlier or later ( my hobby shop had these models, but not the same year, but only one year difference.
I am writing this prior to ordering on line.
Are any other models OK if dimentions are the same?

Has to be one of these 3. 1 year can mean a lot of differences. Must be made by AMT.

I am thinking of building one of these cars, well maybe not quite "one of these" cars. Because I am an Oldsmobile guy, I might build one of these: http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/amt/amtamt689l/12.htm which is a year older than the car I have. If I did build it, and it got DQ'd because it wasn't one, could it still race for fun ?
The GTX is the longest. However if you see the area behind the rear wheel is where the extra length is. I believe all the wheel base's should be with a 1/8 of a inch. I don't believe that there is one body that is going to have a size advantage. This should be a great race, with the rule of 4 wheels touching this is going to be any-ones game.

What are the wheelbases plus/minus 1/8"? I am just trying to get a feel for how bad mine will run if I build one.
The shortest wheel base is the Mustang, the longest is the GTX. With a difference of .3 of a inch. and the Camaro is in the middle of that.
I am sure I am just not saying this right, I do that often, ask my wife.... Are they all around like 4-3/8"? 4-3/4"? 5"?
