Draggon Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I just got an email from Spotlight Hobbies that the dragster frame and Ford 427 are now available. https://www.spotlighthobbies.com/papaac.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ellis Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 The 427 engine is nice but I would like the 1/25 motorcycles Is the 1/25 Ranchero in this tool lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Late to this post, but somewhere along the line I missed that they bought these molds, and wondering if they got them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're having a special run produced by Atlantis, who does own the tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepower Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I sure hope that they do good enough for other ones to hit the market. I'd sure like to see the roadster chassis kits hit the market and the Fiat and Bantam bodies would be nice too. It's just that there are so many things that unless you're in your late '60,or your '70s you have never actually seen them and there are still some I've seen when they were new but haven't had them in my hands but the buick would work for a vintage dragster with the injection from the original '29 roadster kit from revell. Even some of us oval guys would like to get their hands on a few different things. There was a local driver that raced a Buick powered sprint car I'd to build a replica of.

Pete L. Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they also reissue the "Dragster Parts" kit to compliment the dragster chassis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Just spotted these on Model Roundup - same parts as in the Mooneyes dragster that Atlantis just reissued: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to order a set it occurred to me that it is only a few bucks more to get another Mooneyes dragster, that includes an engine and other good parts, so that's what I did! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I’ve been collecting these parts packs by Gopher just to have them, so I can see myself ending up with one anyway… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondamatic Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 But with the Gofers, you get the regular front tires too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Lacy Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Would have been cooler if they included 2 pairs of slicks so that way we’d be able to have 2 full sets of wheels and tires. Still pretty neat that they packaged the wheels and tires at all, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
