I bought one(revell re-release) not to long ago its an okay kit but for what ever reason mine had no instructions at all. I would you get you some pics but I got a little angry at my 500 year old digital camera and tossed out of my second story window onto my driveway, lets just say I am in the market for a new one.

Just in case you still don't have the instruction, here is the online copy

the search function seems to work about 50% of the time for me. it must just be me, couldnt possibly be the site. see other thread under "General".

just tried searching for it but no luck...lotsa hits on tony nancy but most were bernard kron's excellent rails that use a few parts from it. but i swear i recall seeing either a build thread or a finished thread not too long ago. oh well you know what they say: the memory is the second thing to go!

Yeah, I got same results.

Say, you happen to know what engines the kit comes with? One appears to be a nailhead, but the other one I have no idea

You'll get better answers if you look for solutions. See post #10 here: http://www.modelcars...showtopic=63365

Using that info, I found the 22 Jr. topic in the Drag Racing section, and moved it into the Car Kit Reviews section.

The engine in the other rail is a 413 Max Wedge Chrysler, supercharged and injected.

thank you casey.

like ron says, looks like a wedge chrysler and the other motor is indeed a nice nailhead. this kit is great for parts even if you dont build the dragsters. it was very long sought after and expensive prior to this reissue, i think. i had one i bought at a swap meet 10 years or so ago.

if you like i can take some pics and post them here but that other thread might already have that.

If you're building a 1960-'64 Dragster, the Tony Nancy double kit is a great part source. The chassis for the Revellion was one of these. The Fuller chassis wasn't common but overall this is a great kit. TAKE your time, who ever said it was fidgety was dead on. It can be a challenge but the result is worth the effort.
