I don't know about the Top Fuel dragster, but Chuck Boerner of Chuck's Vintage Drag Racing Decals on Facebook recently showed the decals for the Funny Car to go with the new release by Atlantis for the Don Prudhomme 1985 Funny Car kit. He also showed a bunch of other decals to go with the Atlantis kit. Steve A.

After Accurate Miniatures shut down, I think it was Revell that bought the remaining stock of the Grand Sport cars and sold them in their boxes. You might find one of those kits on eBbay every once in awhile. I haven't heard of anyone buying the molds and planning on reissuing the kit. Since you said you were just looking for the engine for a project, there are a couple of options: First Texas3Dcustoms offers a Cross Ram SBC with Webber DCOEs: https://tx3dcustoms.com/products/cross-ram-sbc-with-webber-dcoes Icemancollections offers a more modern Chevy 572 Engine w/Cross Air intake Manifold: https://icemancollections.com/products/chevy-572-engine-w-cross-air-intake-manifold-bb-1-24-1-25 If you know someone that can 3D print the parts, there are a similar type 3D files of the engines available on like Cults3D and Cgtrader that you can buy and print up, though some do have you buy a base engine and the intake separately. Some examples are: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/cross-velocity-stack-set-for-572-engine-1-24th https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/quad-webber-cross-ram-intake-with-air-filters https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/lsx-ls3-v8-obx-intake Steve A.

Doing a Google search it says the color was a Burgundy red color. There was a comment that it was a solid color, and another that said it was metallic, so you might have to check for some reference pics to see which it was. I don't know of any hobby spray paints out there, but you might try MCW to see if they offer a close color in a spray can. Another option is if you have an auto supply store nearby that sells Dupli Color, you might find a close color in their line. I know you said you didn't use an airbrush, but Scalefinishes can probably get you an exact match. He has the Skoal green color listed on his site. You could also buy the paint from Scalefinished and look at something like the Preval Sprayer (see the attached pic). Some people have also found a close color at the hardware store, but I've not had much luck using the paint from there on a model, but have seen some models online that have done some nice finishes.

Sent you a PM about the Mercedes. Steve A.

I forgot to mention, most of Ron's stuff is listed as 1/12th scale, but since it is 3D you can just scale the parts to what size you need. Also, if you have any problems, Ron is a really good guy to deal with. Steve A.

That is Ron Olsen with 3DModelspecialties. Here is the link to the wheels: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/63-68-kelsey-hayes-corvette-wheel I've bought a bunch of Ron's files and he makes some really nice stuff. Steve A.

I thought Replicas and Miniatures might have one, but I only see a 3 ear knockoff listed in the catalog I have. I tried looking on a couple of websites for 3D files and did find someone selling a file with 4 styles in the pack. One of the styles looks like the one in the pic, but it doesn't have the emblem in the center. I don't know if you have access to a 3D printer to print them, but here is a link to the knockoff file on the Cults3D website: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/wheel-knock-off-pack-1 There is also someone on Cults offer a 63-68 Corvette Kelsey Hayes wheel that looks like the one in your pic, but you said you only needed the knockoffs, right? The only other 3D files I found for '63 Corvette wheels like those showed 3 ear knockoffs. I also couldn't find any aftermarket supplier offering them readily available. Steve A.

It may have been Competition Resins that had the resin hood scoop, but they are no longer in business. I did find this website that says they have 2 of them available from their inventory: http://www.fasteddiesworldofspeed.com/store/p93/Competition_Resins_Olds_Aero_Hood_Scoop_%23_078.html And Slixx says they have a limited quantity available on their website too: https://ecsvr.com/slx/shopdisplayproducts.asp?page=2 You might find one on like eBay also. Another option if you have a way to 3D print, then these are available on the Cults3D website: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/drag-racing-hood-scoop-pack-8-for-model-kit-custom-diecast-rc https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/hq-scoop-for-model-kit-rc-slot-custom-diecast Steve A.

I sent you a PM about the figure. Steve A.

If you know someone that can print 3D files for you, this is available on the Cults3D website. It says they are 18" wheels, but they could be scaled to 17" pretty easily. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/18-bullitt-mustang?srsltid=AfmBOorvK20TvswFYRBf57aUEjXrwnWeCyxQ-XSjosw3VAu-4d6CPR5I Plus you could scale a picture down for the Cobra emblem for the center caps. Steve A.

I think I have one of the figures, but the problem is that after several moves I'm not sure where it is at the moment. If someone doesn't have one for you, I can see about 3D printing a figure for you. I did find this one listed as the '89 version of the Batman. It comes in several pieces, so it would need to be assembled. Steve A.

Looks nice. If you add a bat symbol to the front and a wing or 2 in the back it would look like a vintage Batmobile from that era. Steve A.

That might have been Bruce Sadewater that had SMP Decals. I haven't heard about anyone taking over his decal business. Here is a build someone did on here using some of his decals for a 1964 Grand Spaulding Dodge. Steve A.

I just sent you a message to see if I can help you out with this. Steve A.

I also found a few other vintage Aqua Lung decals. Steve A.
