cobraman Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Received this today. Been wanting to build one of these weird things for a while. Just a body for one of the Revell top fuel dragster kits. Anyone build one of these ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 What is that, Ray? A Studebaker? Looks really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Yes it is Studebaker. Has a pewter ( I Think ) nose piece for it. Jimmy Flintstone body. Suposed to fit the Revell dragsters. We shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Got this for Fathers day and my hobby shop. Pretty nice, anyone else have one? Hmm, wonder how much those run, i could use 1 or 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Never saw one of those. I have a unit from Home Depot that runs as a heater or an air conditioner. When my steel building was going up, I had the installer cut the proper size hole and add supports for the unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Received this today. Been wanting to build one of these weird things for a while. Just a body for one of the Revell top fuel dragster kits. Anyone build one of these ? I did, Ray. I used the Gary Ormsby fuel dragster for the chassis & engine, etc. Rattle can paint, plumbed & wired. It never fails to draw attention!! It's a fun build up, but pay close attention to the fit of the body over and around your engine ~ especially the blower/injector/hat and the headers. Even with a lot of test-fitting during chassis construction, I ended up with some unpleasant surprises after the body was painted and prepped, when it was time to fit everything together. It's in the Contest Issue of Model Cars Magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is that my unit throws heat or cool depending on where I turn the dial.. It was less than $200.00 at Home Depot when I bought it several years ago. By the way, the unit measures 24" wide/18" tall/ 18" deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks, Jonathan and G! I appreciate the kind words. BTW, Ray, mine came with both a resin nosepiece and a white metal (pewter) nosepiece. I didn't take the time to polish the metal one. I painted the resin piece with a great chrome paint, the Ace Metallic Mirror Finish Chrome. As I mentioned, it gets a LOT of attention!

Rob Hall Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Popped over to the LHS at lunch and picked up the June Revell new releases--'69 Camaro ZL1, '77 Smokey & The Bandit Firebird T/A, and '99 Expedition Police (plan to kitbash this one w/ the Lightning PU). Edit: Opened them up the check the parts tonight.. The Camaro has a separate bag w/ the steel wheels, wheel backs, and hubcaps. The chrome tree for the RS/SS is included w/ the RS grille and Rally wheels. The Expedition was a surprise--not just new decals--but a lot of new police parts, incl. the wheels, grille, interior parts, antennas, roof light, push bar, etc. The Firebird looks good--a styrene version of the diecast version from about 10 years ago. Never had that one, but heard it was nice. Nice set of snowflake wheels. Edited June 20, 2013 by Rob Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
