Shardik Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I just know somebody here is going to bring it full circle and build a replica of this one now. Any bets on who will be the first ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"But their intention was to build more than just a replica – this 1:1 Badman was to be a nod towards what used to be and what could be, all the while staying true to the original model." I was wondering the the same, but it's an homage to the original Badman, not an exact replica.  Edited March 1, 2018 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the proportions would have to be so skewed , it would never work to be a true replica in actual reality. those whitewalls are beyond tacky.

Casey Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Huh? The actual Badman kit still includes the 265 SBC from the original Monogram '55 Hardtop, but the Badman kit's decals say "396". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
