    Most Altereds ran the 18" version of the American Racing Spindle Mount Spokes while the door slammer variety and funnies ran the 15" This I would call a "Drag" type and not really a "Gasser" type wheel.

    This one looks awesome! There are two of them in the box!! You can get the same kit, basically, from Revell as they reboxed it in their own boxes. Biggest issue with this kit is the chassis. It has the mold reliefs on the wrong side of the tubing and they show when assembled. With some plastic rod and putty, that can be fixed easily.

    Tom West told me that one of the reasons the Tony Nancy double kit was not issued sooner was because they cut the chrome tooling in half when they did the Revellion Funny Car Kit. He found the other half of the tooling on a dusty bench at Revell and they restored it back so it could be re-issued. Thanks, Tom!!

    I have had good experiences trading so far. Sometime I trade for something I really don't need just to help out he person that really wanted what I had. I know it is going to cost to ship and if it seems crazy, I will politely decline the trade. I am blessed to have a nice collection of kits, but, I am not a hobby shop and don't always have what someone maybe looking for, so yes, it helps when you post what you are looking for instead of having us guess what you want.

    These T/A edition are purely Barris atrocities. He may have started with Macho Trans Ams, but in the end this is all him.

    Back in '85 I was building a Robotech Valkyrie and I need white paint. I went to the garage and found a can of it. It was Hi Temp Header Paint! I melted most of the kit to a pulp! Since then, I only use model approved paints!!

    I have a later issue of that kit and this is what I want to do with it. As the car from "The Jerk"

    My build % has to be around .25%, maybe! I am trying to finish a 1:1 project before I can really get back to model building. Am I sitll getting kits? Oh yes!

    Someone had one on their table at the kit show this past weekend. I picked it up and asked how much and he quickly grabbed it back and said it was not for sale, yet. I came back later and it was gone. Thanks for nothing!

    Monogram had a series of Snap Together Funny Cars in 1/32 Scale. They where done by Tom Daniels and all had fictional names on them. It was not until the 80's that they started to make them with actual real car style markings.

    This is so cool! Came out really nice and this has to be on my top ten model box art builds of all time! This kit and box take me way back!!

    The Brat is actually a built up that needs some restoring, but, it was FREE! So was the Pinto box, I say box because there is a Vega inside. Wish the Pinto was in there. But, it was also free! The rest I paid for. The Monza kits are the same, with the exception of the Pro Stock hood on the yellow one.

    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.

    With some digging around, you could probably find the Pabst Blue Ribbon decals.

    Galaxie bought the Sizzler molds, eh? Please do elaborate
