Tony Nancy dragster glue bomb rescue

Was in bad shape after I got it off Ebay. Slicks had eaten wheels and damaged body. Replaced wheels, sanded off damage, swapped engines (put a Hemi in it), painted and decaled in markings as run in England in 1964. Fun rescue.

Nice job Gerald, on a rather unknown version of this car.  I have been studying Tony Nancy's cars for decades now with intentions of building as many as I can - I have five done at the moment. I got to meet the great man and speak to him for about two hours in his shop in January 1997 and you couldn't meet a nicer, more obliging guy.  He gave me an old copy of his autobiography and it includes a photo of this car without front sheetmetal and I am assuming with a longer wheelbase., giving us three variations that could be built from the Revell kit - the original with the Wedge engine, your blue version with the Hemi and a longer blue version sans front sheetmetal.,

A great model of a great car!

Cheers

Alan
