I know I'm late to the party, but Tom West did an awesome 3-part history of drag racing models article spread over SAE magazines 68 - 70 (August/October/December 1990). Issue #68 covered kits from 1959-71, issue # 69 covered kits from 1972-1991, and issue #70 went more in-depth about the Aurora 1/16 kits.

Very nice!

Awesome. A great Mopar drag legend. BTW, for anyone else that wants to make this car the decals are available from Slot Car Fever.

So I decided to build the kit mostly as-is out of the box, but with the roll cage modified. Forget the innacuracies, even if you build it box stock the wedge doesn't fit over the valve covers. I had to cut more than half of each valve cover off to get the wedge to sit down. I also had to move the engine as far forward as possible and extend the driveshaft accordingly. This is ridiculous. I would also say the way both axles attach is fragile and dumb. That I can live with, but for the wedge to not clear the valve covers is unacceptable.

Awesome...

Looking great. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Awesome. LOVE the Mopar AWB cars. I'm still hoping for a diecast of this someday from Supercar Collectibles, if not it'll be on my build list.

I never have problems with Model Car World Automotive Finishes paint and Future clear coat.

Awesome!

Thanks!
