So, is there some (un?)official registration going on for people intending to bring A12s to Carlisle for 2005?

Hey Brad for now we are just making sure everyone knows about it Carlisle 2005, as it gets closer we will have more details how to register and such.

Personally I like some variant of
Lift Off Hoods or
The Lynch Road Buys

Kinda sounds like something from a western. The others at the event would be heard to say in muffled tones as we walk past..."Hey...in't that one O them Lynch Road Boys??"

I am thinking of driving my 6bbl replica down for this. I know its not the real thing, but "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". I can't wait to see all of these cars in one place.

Dave, all,

Just to let you guys know I am working on hats for this 2005 re-union/club.

Typical baseball hats which have of course a black bill to represent the lift off hood.

On the front of the cap the words: 'LIFT OFF HOOD RE-UNION' - in capital letters and 'Carlisle July 2005' in lower case letters. On the rear, on each side of the cutout-- A road runner or super bee emblem, and on the other '69 1/2'.

The kicker will be a little plastic scoop which will mimic the lift off hood scoop which will be fastened (sewn) to the bill. Those with runners will get the '440+6bbl' decal and those with bees will get the 'six pack' decal. I'm trying to keep the scoop looking cool-- not stupid...LOL, we'll see.

These plastic hood scoops will be approx 3 inches long, by 3 inches wide, by an inch high. I can get the side scoop decals made and the hat embroidery is not a problem. Even considering making underneath the scoop orange. Finding the right scoop might be hard.

As for color, all black, F6 green or Vitamin C....not because I like them but because they'll better work with everthing else. But still not sure about cap color, or getting multiple colors.

I'll tell you one thing...these hats are going to be very cool. Hopefully something you keep with your car at future shows.

I'll ask for suggestions but realize I'm trying to keep this somewhat under control so that it actually happens! Can't take everybody up on every suggestion or the hats will never get done.

I'll get back to you guys and submit the final product before making.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Coop

We'll see Dave,

Adding these little hood scoops without looking silly might be harder than it sounds. In the end might have to go without them. Hope not.

Best regards,
Coop

Brad, (and all others )

The email I received back from Carlisle Promotion's Lisa Leathery indicated that we will each need to register for the show under a group name/club name. It doesn't look like we can even register for 2005 yet.

I will in the next couple of weeks have a letter go out to all MOPAR clubs that I can find on the web(there is a link on one of the sites for clubs) and will make sure that at least the club officers are aware of the Reunion. That way we won't just be counting on this Forum and word of mouth to get the max. number of A12s. I think I saw about 150-200 clubs so the hard part will be addressing the envelopes. No big deal, just takes a little time.

When it comes time to making plans for the event I will continue to communicate with Lisa and make sure we have the amenities we need, ie. club tent, space for the cars to park together, etc.

To have adequate space for the cars will require each owner to register with Carlisle Promotions so that they know how many of us will be present.

I can add a post to this thread and add names as I get them from all the guys here and from responses to the letter I will send to the clubs. That way the list will grow, we will probably find 'new' cars and increase the traffic on this board as well.

So far I know only first names and a few last names of guys here. Should I do a list by first and last name, first name and Registry Car #??

What do you guys think?

Frank

Thinking about it. I would love to find a shop, or place to work on the car. I have a nasty engine noise and vibration that needs attention. Right now car is stored back home in Buffalo. Comes out in May. Any ideas on a good shop or someone willing to share some space? My garage here will fit the car, but no room to work.

Is that engine noise and the vibration the same problem or different? Mine had a bad vibration that was caused by the steel plate in the trans mount being broken into 2 pieces. Just a stress fracture from 25 years of street racing. A new mount cured it but good.

Maybe you could contact Ertle, Campbell, ect to see if they have left over lift off hoods from when they were making the 1:18 scale models and then you could put on the whole hood. Just my 6(bbl) cents Lon

Maybe we would get lucky enough to have Ertl make another production run of the lift-off models as well.

See if they will make an A12 Runner as well. There are already A12 Bees out there, but no Runners.

I don't think you will see any Road Runners. It appears that Time Warner owns the Road Runner name now for thier high speed internet. I don't think there are any more new items marketed with the road runner emblems. I found the older 1:18 die cast road runners and the packaging says 1969 Plymouth and there are no bird decals. Also, the Road Runner floor mats are no longer available. Just my observations.

Johhny Lightning makes the 1/64 scale Runners and they have the decals on them. They also make the A12 version of the Bee. But I have yet to see an A12 Runner from anyone mass produced.

Hey, Frank, RoadRunner, Lon, ahooah... good info.

While you guys are at it, sounds like you may know more about models than I. Perhaps check around to see if some version of the lift off hood scoop is avaialable from a model maker.

I am looking for either just the scoop, which might be found through some of these custom resin shops who supply model making hobbyists with custom parts....

Or...

We might go with the entire hood which came on the Revell Monogram 69 super bee. I see on their site they have a 'lost part' form where you can order special parts from kits. I'd need the kit number for their 69 lift off hood bee kit (if anyone has that handy) then I can run the 'lost part' route through.

Whatever we can find that would sit on the bill of a cap and look like a 69 hood scoop. You guys who are up on models might have some ideas on this. I figure we need about 50, plus or minus, to go around and have some extra.

I'm sending emails to possible suppliers with this link so they know what it looks like:

http://www.aeroglass.com/scoops/mopar6.php

and I'm asking for one that is approx 3 inches by 3 inches by 1/2 to 1 inch high.

I'm a busy guy just like the rest of you and doing this search inbetween paperwork, roof inspections, and other much more important work (car). If you fellas could help run down this scoop I'd be very thankful and it'd make the hat project much easier for me.

Here's a link you can run through and check out. Send emails to those you think could help.

http://carmodeler.net/links.htm

Here's a forum thread I started:

http://www.modelcarkits.com/cgi-bin/webbbs/board.cgi?read=428710

Thanks for helping. You guys find the scoops and It'll help make the hat project easier. gotta run.

Best regards,
Coop

I just collect the die-cast already assembled stuff. I am not too skilled at the hands on stuff. I can't think of anyone that makes a scoop that big. However, there might be someone out there that has skill to make one up for you.

I am going to stick to my conviction that Road Runner items will be hard to get. This is based on a conversation I had with a supplier of the die cast cars a few years ago. I ran into this gentlemen in a store in Minneapolis Mall of America and struck up a conversation about cars. I don't recall his name, but we got talking about 1:18 die cast and such and mentioned that the Road Runner character and name was purchased and was going to be used for another product. He could have been the president of one of the die cast car makers for all I know. I actually put 2 & 2 together because you can get Road Runner (complete with the bird) high speed cable internet access in parts of NY. If someone is producing Road Runner items then they got permission to use it, its grandfathered, or it is being used illegaly. Some grandfathered items are the re-release of AMTs 68 Plymouth Road Runner 1:24 scale model. I am sure Time Warner's lawyers are probably as nasty as DCX lawyers can be if its being used illegaly. Either that, or they don't see a 1:48 scale car as a threat. If they got permission then I hope to see Road Runner floor mats, and new Ertl (spelling?) die cast cars with Road Runner emblems instead of GTXs.
