OK so growing up my dad had the army funnycar and dragster. They were kinda a family centerpiece so to speak. They were not great builds but the were solid. My dad never spent more than a day building a car. It was hurry hurry hurry. Somehow they always came out pretty good. Well over other 30 sum years they started loosing all they decals since he never clear coated them. So he just pulled the decals off and painted them blue and have stayed that way for the last 15 years. He's dying and I wanted to give him back the funny car from his past. I was not able to win one of these kits on eBay for a price I could afford. So I found some aftermarket stickers and I had a old Monza body from a jungle Jim car and figured what the hey, its pretty close. Body wise its 100% exact to the car he built before I was born. It was hard not to paint the rear blue like it suppost to be but that's how he did his. I still need to install the glass but other than that its complete to his original. So here it is my jungle Jim army Vega/Monza. Love ya Dad
