Augie and I played a bit on the way home. It was a bumpy road, though, and he hit a dip and the front of his car started to do the straightaxle dance, so we quit

If you plan on making replica of anything with RAMCHARGERS,better think TWICE.TRADEMARK was sold to JUDGE DAVE,must pay the price to use that name.Check out Ramchargers.com get the whole story.
Fenner Tubbs would be a hard one,it was their 64 Savoy with 65 fiberglass front end.Would mean new tooling for tail lights and dash.It would be totally bitching if they did though!And the rear is pushed forward more then the standard 15in.
First pre-production sample of this car in 1:18 die cast. Hope to have them produced by September/October.
We currently only have the factory (moved forward) crossmember to use right now, but we have thought of that car. A straight axle car would be cool, so never say never...
I think you should go ahead with this build.If you need info about the FennerTubbs car,I have a friend that is very knowledgeable about this car.Attached is his Tribute car.
This car was at the Gasser Magazine Nationals at Marion Count(OH) International raceway. It was favorite car of the meet because he was there to compete, plus he drives it on the street!! If you are interested here are the rest of my pictures. Not many, it was really poorly attended. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v521/mrtc4w/Gasser Nats 2011/ Marty Marysville, OH

That's the only way we do 1:18 cars, is with the proper lisencing. Have sent many dollars and many cars to drivers/owners over the years, so would do it again. Just wanted to be sure ya knew.
Man, they altered it in the wrong direction(?), that thing just looks funny. HAHAhahahaaaa, "funny"....get it?! Ahhhh crap.
Then we decided to try 200 yard drag racing on Irwindale's oval track. That was a bit tricky, and we're all glad that we did not get the boot, and actually put on a nice little impromptu show:
