sflam123 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Beautiful builds!! Just fantastic. As an aside, I was devastated when "Zookeeper" made his last pass in 1969. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if Revell ever molded these 2 kits in 1/16 scale..??... ? Yes, Revell molded both these cars in 1/16th. However, both had substantial inaccuracies. The Fighting Irish kit had incorrect body panels, and the K&C kit had rear wheels that were only run once. It's ironic, my K&C build used a Fighting Irish kit as a basis and the California Charger started with a Fighting Irish kit. Both builds used Competition Resin body parts and the Irish used Comp Resins rear wheels, valve covers, injector, and scoop. Both builds had the magnetos relocated to the rear of the block to simulate "392" blocks. Edited November 12, 2020 by Old Coyote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both still occasionally available if you are willing to search for them and pay the $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces ll Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 The only 1/16 rail kit I have is the Tony Nancy version.... Got it the last time it was released.... Maybe 20 years ago...??... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
