Just found the H.A.M.B. while searching for reference pics for a 1/25th scale replica I am trying to build for my Dad of our long gone 1956 Dodge Sierra wagon. I started with a poor resin conversion based off a warped original 56 Dodge 4 door promo model. Major work has already been done such as reproportioning the body sides and reshaping the roof to more closely match the full size 56 Sierra. While not complete on the body, I started going towards a full detail build which required I reshape parts from the AMT 58 Belvedere model and use a K-frame and front suspension from an AMT 41 Plymouth. The model is started to come together- but I am having a tough time getting the engine to sit low enough in the engine bay. I may have to start fresh with a different engine block I located today- it seems the lower portion is shorter than what I began with & may do the trick.
