As always, another very well-done car
By the way, don't know if you have any of the R-M NASCAR's, but wondering if those chassis could be used with these Eldon bodies - was a '64 Dodge on EBAY that I let go since I remember someone saying they're a bit underscale...concern is about width as they're sidewinders with no real way to narrow the track in the rear.

Matt,
That's really looking good. I had the car as a kid a blue one. My brother drove the red Charger. Man I wish Scaley's banks were half as high as Eldons. Got to get me one. What kind of chassis is it riding on? What's the power plant? |

Arroln, my first car was a '66 Coronet and I've been a Dodge Boy ever since. The Coronet slot is riding on an EJ Hobbies #206 Brass Chassis. Check it
out here and hit the chassis link on the left. These are nice adjustable chassis's and run well. Ed had 500 of
these kit Coronet's made. So they are limited.

Ed has some cool cars that are no longer available. I bought on ebay the original Eldon 67, 68, and 69 Chargers and the 65 and 68 Coronets. I restored the
cars, cleaning them and adding new braids and reproduction tires .
It's amazing, they look brand new. |
