  1. This guys work has been around for some time now, the article is three years old! And once again someone found it and posted it here, again. Someone posted their feelings about it and someone didn't like their feelings. Now all feelings are out. All for a three year old article. Nice. More coffee.
  2. Wow, totally new box art. Glad they include the decals for the original version. Bummer about the vinyl top
  3. Whoops! You are correct. I am thinking of the Dodge Chargers, but, even they had stock style setups. And the Rams AF/X car had a factory style setup as well.
  4. Nice job! I remember those on the shelves!!
  5. Don't forget this version. I believe this is when the first mods where done to the kit and then this....
  6. The axle looks pretty narrow here.
  7. Wow! That kit was the bane of my existence when I was kid! Glad to see it built up that nicely!
  8. That is sharp! Love the paint and wheels, they really pop
  9. They where first issued in the Revell of Germany type boxes. I bought one quite a few years ago
  10. I don't see anything there worth $50
  11. They are not using full Carbon Fiber bodies, the main body shell is mostly Ultraglass, a new and improved form of fiberglass. Carbon Fiber is light and strong, but, it is a bit of overkill for cars that change skins so often, it is mostly used for doors, scoops, hoods and other interior parts. Top Fuel and Fuel Funny Car mostly use Carbon Fiber due to the stresses they face vs. a Pro Stock car.
  12. Oh that is nice! Very nice! You caught the look perfectly!
  13. Glad there are no stock parts in it. Less stuff to get stuck with!!!
  14. Well, that kit is supposed to be an early version of a Funny Car, so some of the items you mentioned are no longer necessary. At this point in the history of Drag Racing, there was no funny car class and most of these cars where built as "Match Racers" and pretty much anything went.
  15. Meanwhile, in West Chicago... "That fresh batch of Ramchargers is almost ready to ship, Captain!"
  16. Sadly the coolest car they made back then was actually made by Mitsubishi!
  17. I am picking it up! But not from Hobby Lobby!
  18. I see this as the next F and F Charger! Might even be a turbo!! LOL!
