This one in 1963?

My USA-1 Chevy Monster truck came with fender flares in the box. Granted they were for the Ford Monster truck but they should be able to be reworked to fit the Chevy.

Yep, prices took off after the oil embargo in 1973.

You are probably referring to the pivot arm attached to the steering link. This was the body support bracket. It was pretty dorkie. I left it off my build.

A couple more.

Love that Cuda.

The Revell '41 Willys coupe. Have built 7 of them and have a half dozen in the stash.

Here are a few of my builds that I did years ago. Have built them all, some are rebuilds of acquired glue bombs.

Since you seem very interested in this series, I thought I would share this ad from the 60's with you. Note the prices!

Bump. anybody got one to spare.

Yep, it can be done. I used a stock AMT '58 Edsel body on an AMT '67 Comet AWB chassis. The AWB '64 Olds is a resin cast body also on a Rat Packer chassis.

You are correct on the Unreal Edsel. Mr Speed has been rereleased but not as the Funny car, you will need the Piranha chassis and some mounting bars. C2 Vette is basically their stock '67 Vette with some drag parts that are also in their rerelease of their '63 Vette. Fairlane is a 1965 Falcon AWB funny car which uses the same interior and chassis as the current release of the Mustang GT Funny car but has a different set of rear torque arms. Streaker Olds AWB Funny car will probably be out next year. Instructions for most of these are available on the Fotki website. Hope this helps. PS: the pic is missing the Hemi Corvair kit which was rereleased lately. Pic below is of the chassis for the 1965 Falcon AWB from the Fotki website.

How about the AMT Funny Car series?

A few of mine.

AMT's gasser series was different.

Thanks for the response guys. I do appreciate all the comments.

Agree. Avoid the Atlantis rerelease of the old Revell Camaro funny car. All can be built using current available kits and Slixx decals.

Love them all. Here's my rebuild of an IMC kit from years ago.

Finished. See "A Certain T" Under Glass Model Cars section.

Have a WIP on this build. Started with an AMT Infini T dragster kit. Most of the parts are from this kit. Lowered the side window openings and shortened the frame. Radiator, dash, steering wheel and seats are from the parts box. Rebuilt the interior floor. Injected Buick nail head engine is from a Revell Ivo Showboat dragster kit, auto trans and quick change rear axle are from the parts box. Headers (rebuilt) are from an MPC Outcast kit. Key push bar is from a Revell '51 Anglia kit. Added a rear access panel for the battery and gas tank. Paint is Testors rattlecan Fiery Orange lacquer. Let me know what you think.

Calling it done. Moved to Under Glass.

A little progress. Still a lot of adjusting on the headers and sanding on the body.

Some progress. Still lot of adjustment on the headers and sanding on the body.

Most parts are from the AMT Infini T dragster kit. Windows were lowered on the body. Shortened the frame, rebuilt the interior, seats from the parts box, headers being reworked from an MPC Outcast kit, engine from a Revell Ivo Showboat dragster. Wish me luck.

Kit bashed and scratch building "A certain T". Most parts from the Infini T kit. Lowered the windows on the body. Shorten the frame, rebuilt the interior, seats from the parts box, engine from a Revell Ivo Showboat dragster, headers are being reworked from an MPC Outcast kit.
