Depends on which Donovan Engines you are looking at. Fuel Engines based on the Chrysler 392 had no cooling provisions. Then there are the other blocks based on the BBC and the SBC that do have cooling jackets.
How about when Jerry Eckman's "oil tank" took off in the pits! And lets not for forget the unstoppable Dodge Boys in the mids 90's! Good times! If you don't get caught!
Hey, this hobby is about enjoying yourself. And that is about pleasing YOU! Good job and keep at it!
As and aside, I sometimes just use a silver Sharpie pen instead of foil. Its easy and quick!
The list changed from time to time. Some of the names I have seen are John Wiebe, Steve Carbone, Jim Nicoll, Kalitta, Muldowney, Shumacher, Prudhome, McEwen and Marvin Shwartz to name a few.
I should build me a Zoo Keeper car soon.
Revell Chassis, and judging by how straight it appears, it is the newer one piece version. As for the slick, they started using those with the Revell Blue Max Mustang release. Replaced those wonderful, , two piece slicks!
Revell needs to tool up some new bodies if they want to keep re-releasing those kits!
Well, some of them are not exactly abandoned, lost maybe, but not abandoned. The Daytona Coupe had a crazy story, but it was in a storage unit for years.

And some of those F-1 cars look like promo units that where not used for racing at all.
Nice build of a very tempermental kit. This kit clearly shows what can happen when not everyone is paying attention to what he other guy is doing.
Tom West did the technical parts of these kit and supplied Accurate Miniatures with the building instructions and other details. The "Engineers" did not follow his instructions as they should have and this is what happened.
