Restoring AMT El Toro funny car from 1972
Chris in Berwyn replied to Chris in Berwyn's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Well, 3+ years later, after moving, putting stuff in storage, getting it back out of storage, and finishing several other builds, I am finally back on this. It took forever to get the tin right but I think I am finally about there. Gotta figure out a match for this old blue Testor’s enamel and I should be wrapping this up in a week or two.

And as you may have seen, we won’t be relying on Stevens for much longer as they are closing in 2016

Round2 Walmart kits with unique box art.
Chris in Berwyn replied to Carmak's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I have bad luck with any Walmarts I’ve stopped in having kits. Will have to try again this year. -
The white JJ car looks really cool in white.

Aurora body - wow!!!! Beautiful build!
-
All told, it's in incredible number of interesting kits coming out! And I am glad to see the Malco Gasser back. For old times sake, I will be getting the longnose Mustang FC. I still have the body of my childhood version of the kit in a box somewhere! Thanks for all the pics and comments!

I didn't even know that they had started shipping the kit, and you have already built it!!! Very, very nice work!!!
-
That is so nice!!!! BTW, if you are shooting with the camera on your phone, you can get less blurriness if you back 2 or so feet from the model, then zoom in to take the shot.

Lots of nice stuff!!! If you look closely at the side art for the Riv, it mentions a suggested Tamiya paint for the body of each of the 3 building options. Never seen them recommend Tamiya paints before.

It is a nice kit and your build is fantastic!!

And mine…

That’s really nice with the perfect stance! Those MPC kits certainly aren’t perfect! For your next FC, I’d suggest one of Revell’s early/mid 70s FC kits - such as the Vega kit you took the injectors from. The rear axle needs to be dropped a bit on those to lower the rear, but they build up nicely. Also, if you can find a Revell Hawaiian Charger or Chi Town Hustler (those have 1970 Charger bodies) from 2010 or so at a reasonable price, they are excellent, modern kits.

Shirley's car looks great! Nice work!

It builds up into a very nice looking model!

Here is one on eBay. Pricey and the seller says to expect to wait a few weeks. No idea if the part is nice or not.
