Revell 1974 rear engine dragster question

[lou s]

Is the revell 1/25 scale jeb allen rear engine dragster kit the same tooling as the 1974 revell 1/25 scale Don  Prudhomme rear engine kit? Specifically the body tooling of what looks to be the front wing.Looks like a hammer head.asking because I have the decals for prudhomme car but need a matching kit.If not what kit is a match.thanks

Pretty sure the only difference in the plastic may be the wheels.

The front wing looks to be different. On the Snake car, it looks to be more a rectangular shape where as on the Allen car it has more of a airplane wing look.

All these dragsters are the same except for a few different panels ,and wing end plates .

That nose was specific to the Prudhome car. That was one of the biggest differences between these kits. 

Some came with front wire wheels or with Super Tricks. The Garlits and California Special  cars have slotted rear wheels

Thanks, Jesse. We probably went over this, back in the old days! When you mentioned it, I thought, "Seems like, at some point, I remember hearing that, about the Snake car." But, I certainly didn't remember it, offhand.
