I don't know if we could handle the mass hanky wringing! It's not stock? OH NO!

Wow, I love all the Boo Hoo from the stock guys and the ones that don't read all the posts and start making guesses to things that have already been cleared up. Buy it or don't, they will sell and you can just sit in the corner and pout. Next!

Nailed it! Nice!!

Oh yeah! That is cool, very cool indeed!

I have not seen a model kit at a Big Lots in years, but, when they where Pic N Save, they used to have a nice selection of stuff.

That is one clean and aggressive looking machine! Nice!!

I built the Jungle Jim Camaro as a kid and managed to score me another one a few years ago. I was quite surprised that some items in the kit had been changed. The rear wheels and slicks where replaced with the newer, for the 70's, wheels and tires from the more correct line of drag cars from Revell, along with more correct HEMI valve covers. i plan on building it using the original style wheels and tires for the sake of nostalgia. As for the Huggers, our old LHS got them and could not sell them off! Finally ended up dropping the price and they disappeared. i should have bought a few more.

And you would have to build them with those crazy steam roller slicks! LOL!

Yes, you are correct. I forgot all about the '69 And how the bodies look I guess you could make a Grande or a Convertible out of it

This was Revell's attempt at making contemporary Funny Car kits. Chassis is loosely based on a Logghe style and the bodies are pretty cartoony creations. From what I know, they butchered the Grande Mustang to make this kit. Hence why we can't have a Grande Mustang anymore. . The kits in the line where the Jungle Jim/Funny Hugger Camaro, A Maverick and the Mustang. And the supposed kit that was used for the Mustang body

Let me take a look when I get home and see if Fremont did some for that car.

I was 6 when I first built my own model. That was in 1973! And there still was a model building interest amongst my friends and I all the way up to the 80's. After that, I really started seeing a decline in new builders and most of my same age friends started getting replaced by guys at least 10 years older than myself!! Some of us stuck to the hobby and some faded away. Some of my friends say that they miss it and would like to build a model with their kids, and I have even given them kits to do so, but eventually they fade out again. Yup we are truly a breed that is thinning out, and it appears sadly, rather quickly.

Look in the AMT Boss A Nova funny car kit. I think that is where I got mine. Not exactly those, but pretty close.

I would guess the AMT 62 Bel Air

Thanks for sharing that with us, Gary, really makes you look at these kits in a whole new light. I think I am going to start looking for the rest of them at the kit shows. I have the TR-7. Yellow Z, Rally 924 and the White 924. Looks like I have some catching up to do! Trades anyone?

I think Revell is riding the Gasser craze, a bit late as usual, but trying.

They should just do a Junior Stock style wagon And Maybe dust off the 56 molds as well

I bought my Hangman from an old LHS and they where blowing them out since nobody wanted them! Wish I would have bought a couple more!!

Just saw this on another site. Just going to leave it here for now......

Right now it is more like and outdoor shower than a living room! LOL!

Mmmhh, Lawn Art it is!

My biggest question now is, what should I do with all the resin bodies I have?

This would make a killer coffee table!!
