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!

What do you use to apply the mixture so it won't leave debris?
-
Has anyone tried sanding Future clear coat runs? Or can you just buff them out with a wet cloth?
-
Awesome.

I posted this on the wanted forum, but I think this is the forum most likely to help me as many drag cars from the 60's had windows tinted in rainbow colors. I need half a sheet of .005" transparent purple sheet plastic. Midwest Products used to make it, but now they only make .010" thick and that won't work for my application.
Or if someone else has an idea on tinting windows purple I'm all ears. I've used Tamiya clears to tint windows with varying results over the years.
Thank you.

Nice!
Mopar or no car...

Special Appearance is still alive and kicking. I just bought a bunch of Mopar drag decals from him. A pretty big catalog, very high quality, and he will print them in multiple scales:

The truck cab is available in resin from Keith at sourceks@msn.com. I have one on the bench to be built. Very nice quality.
If I cound find the truck cab, I might considering attempting this in scale
