NitroMarty Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Built this one several years ago. I started by opening up the wheel openings on Revell's Miss Deal funny cay body and mounting it to the chassis and running gear from MPC's Rat Trap Vega dirt modified kit... Body was painted Minneapolis Moline yellow, with the chassis being finished with Testors gloss red enamel... Numbers and sponsor marking were sourced from several Slixx decal sheets. Unfortunately this model was destroyed shortly after completion.... (I was getting ready to put it back in the display case after a show, when I tripped over the cat and fell on the model, essentially crushing it) Maybe someday I'll build another.

TonyK Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Very nice! You did a great job adapting the body to that chassis. I've been having fits just trying to fit a resin body to one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Looks very nice. I had 2 cats and my only problem was cat hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoDak1 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Dirt track cars tend to have shorter life spans anyway haha. Still a shame though it looked really great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
