Ever
wonder where to find the best Small Block Chevy? How about the best Olds
or Dana 60 rear end? This ongoing project will help you find the
best parts for your project. Whenever possible, sources will be
fairly available kits (but not always). In some instances, they will be
aftermarket sources. If an aftermarket manufacturer is duplicating a hard
to find kit part, we will try to note that. If you'd like to add
to the list you may contact me at straightliner59@yahoo.com.
Check back for addenda and photos as time allows. |

The
Revell parts are easily the best, especially for super detailed projects,
but for most applications, the AMT piece is an excellent choice. |
