So this will be an accurate representation of the movie dragster? I also have the original MPC More American Graffiti kit, plus the somewhat similar MPC Ramchargers dragster. I've downloaded a treasure trove of pics off the internet, but the thought occurred to me for my build....why not try to backdate the movie car to a more accurate version of what would've actually raced back in the day of the movie timeline? From what I understand...those Moroso valve covers didn't exist...along with a tweak or two elsewhere.

Thanks Bill. I was shocked to hear this...he had just helped me out a couple of weeks ago by supplying me some headlight lenses for my Revell of Germany Jaguar XKSS. Norm is a genuine pillar of the modeling community. Keeping in my prayers and thoughts.

All my stores ever seem to have is late 60's - early 70's muscle cars and trucks...only one hot rod...the Revell reissue of the '29 Model A.

Young modelers were well represented .....for example Sadie's Hippy Van....

Well equipped fire truck....

Scott Bregi updated his Brabham for a reappearance with properly finished wheels....

Tiniest Low Rider I've ever seen....

This modeler actually attended The Watkins Glen race his subject model raced in....

Some more pics.....

Joe Formato's Ford GT 40....

Eugene Harris's super stock racer.....

Tractor trailer from "Smokey and the Bandit"....

Hand painted flames....
