Shardik Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I suggest you call this one "Short Shot". Kind of a double meaning for a drag car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathgoblin Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I usually unseal and inspect every kit I buy, unless I've gotten a duplicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Helferich Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Nice save and great paint! Back in the early '70's I bought 2 of the last issue AMT '29 Model A kits that you could still build 2 cars from. I got them discounted, planned on building 1 and keeping 1 for later. When I opened the first one it had the chrome, tires glass and instructions for the Model A's with the non chrome parts for the '37 Chevy coupe. I always think of some poor guy buying that kit sealed today for $40-$50 and opening it in horror. Back then it was no big deal at 88 cents each.

rmvw guy Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks guys for the comments. I am opening my boxes in the parking lot once again. Here's a little update on the model. I still haven't started the chassis or engine yet. More to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlow Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Man that is great work, you would never know, I would of just been out of luck. Good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Started working on the chassis and I am totally lost when it comes to fuel lines, hoses, electrical and so forth on these cars. I used yellow wire for spark plug wires and now every reference I find has red wires. Too late!!! Having a hard time finding good reference material. Any help would be appreciated. Here are a couple of progress pictures. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Just got this one out today for an attempt to finish it this year. Installed window glass so far. Some more small details and hopefully it will be done. Wish me luck! Trying to get my photos ready for the end of the year showing like we did last year. Hope you guys are ready!

Old Buckaroo Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Nice repair job and the build looks great. In my sick and twisted mind I would of used that body for a build depicting a sneezed blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Nice save with on that body. You'd never know there had ever been a problem.....but, as they say, "It's no hill for a climber." Great job. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thanks guys. This was almost like bringing one back from the dead. I am calling it finished today after this photo shoot and moving it to the dragracing section. Never did that before! After viewing my photos I realise I forgot to put the white on Goodyear letters. I lost the rest of the decal sheet and I wanted to put a parachute cord on it. Really I don't no how to do a realistic one or fuel lines etc. Obviously not a show piece, it was fun, and my first attempt at a funnycar. Thanks for looking.
