Just in case you did not know.......Hoosier was not a 60s tire.......Goodyear and Firestone, depending on the year and the driver

The HUG has a 426, but the mag is in the wrong spot! A simple fix.
I can't readily find my kit, but doesn't it have Donovan 392 rocker covers? And a 392 front cover. Looking at the instructions on the Drastic Plastics site, it kinda looks like a mish-mash of parts. Personally, I am going to do the McEwen car as I have the Slixx decals but using a 426 from the Too Much dragster.

The basis for my conclusion on this subject is the December, 1965 issue of Rod and Custom, pgs. 14-19. If you've ever built the AMT 'cuda funny car kit, you'll clearly see the design linkage to the 1/1 McEwen car.
Nevertheless, I just looked up the subject issue, and sure enough as Mr. Fisher says above, the engine pictured is a 426 Hemi, not the 392 in the AMT kit.
I can only speculate that when AMT scaled the 1/1, it may have been initially setup with the 392. I say this because for an article published in Dec 1965, and given the delays in producing and publishing back then, the car was probably photographed for the article around June or July, 1965 at the latest. At that point, the 426 Hemi in blown drag racing form was just beginning to be used. Further given that the 1/1 was probably constructed during the first half of 1965, maybe they did the early work with a 392 and then switched to the 426 as it became available toward the completion of the 1/1.
This is all speculation on my part, but the fact remains that the 1/1 was pictured in this article with the 426 Hemi as Mr. Fisher correctly notes....TIM
Tim, no criticism intended.....was just trying to clarify for those who did not know and may want to build.

The McEwen/Goeske car ran a 426 hemi, not the 392 that is in the kit. Otherwise, a pretty close example of the real car.
Maybe Round 2 will come out with one of the MPC Hemi Under Glass kits in the future.

Just a reminder that a legal junior stocker required cheater slicks....7" width .....Modelhaus Tires or Speed City Resin can hook you up unless you have some old Jo-Han ones from the '64 Mopars

Missing Link is not defunct....Ragtop Man here on the board is your connection to them

Good parts kits though. I used the AMT '32 reissue chassis under an Opel GT gasser

You did a great job with that kit......i have all the parts to build one and I know what a bear it is to work with the parts pack stuff!!!

I believe I read somewhere on this board that Atlantis does NOT have the tool for the Bantam body. I was glad I saw that because I was thinking of selling one off....changed my mind quickly!

I currently have 9 kits in almost completed stage......can't seem to quite bring them over the finish line

Wire axle builds roll and the others do not.....glue the wheels to the axle pins.

Maybe Atlantis can reassemble the custom car display accessories parts pack if they also have the Revell '53 Chevy tooling where the hand tools are. Also the fuel injected Buick engine too.
-
But don't you need to have the "oddball" molding machines that John Haenle used in order to run those tools?

On your keyboard next to the Scroll lock, should be a key labelled Prnt Scrn, or words to that effect. Press that, and it'll save your current screen. In a graphics program (windows Paint will do) hit paste, or ctrl+V. Crop out the bits you don't want, and save as a JPG or PNG file.
Thanks! I will try that.

How are you guys downloading this stuff? While I can read the mags, I can't seem to download it on my windows 7 laptop.

The Monogram midget racer.

Just got my order of the roadster chassis speed equipment. Atlantis ships fast!!

This is something of a recent design....some kind of pro street monstrosity S/S meant STOCK. Rollbars were not used at that time and fuel cells did not exist. 7" tires with some tread (cheater slicks like in the JoHan '64 Dodge). Way more things on this thing are not S/S legal/

Probably lacquer based on the age of the kit.......91% alcohol is probably the only thing that will touch it and not hurt the plastic.

He means that Hurst built the real hemi cudas in 1968.....there were no super stock hemi cudas built in 1969. I am doing the same thing though and building a '69 as the Sox & Martin car as it is close enough for the shelf.

clarify
But no hemi in 1959 so would not be stock if that matters
