The rather generic chassis was also used on the the Mustang and Maverick Funny Cars. The engine could be build as a Hemi or SOHC, and neither was any good!

Ramchargers Dragster and Transporter Truck
Daddyfink replied to Raoul Ross's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The first issue had the correct decals for the real version of this car and not the '68 Woody Gilmore car. The current issues have the longer dragster markings. -
I see what you mean now. Fooled me pretty good

That would be really cool! I had the Duster's Last Stand when I was a kid, but never this version. Would love to see it come back!
-
Just fair warning that it uses a stock style body with the standard nose, not a longer nose style funny body.
-
The General Lee Effect? I just hope they at least come up with some cool markings, like they did for the Badman, and make it look the part of a vintage funny car.

Ramchargers Dragster and Transporter Truck

Cool! Now I can leave my original alone! I just hope the corrected the decals for the dragster -
Well, looks like not all of the Funny Car tooling went to Atlantis and no more Tom Daniels markings.

Gorgeous build! But I must ask, is the valve cover on upside down? -

At Walmart (at least one store)
Daddyfink replied to Classicgas's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Cool, hate Walmart, hate away. And yes, some of us don't have to buy another model ever again, but we can when we want to, but don't BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH on those that can't do it as easily. Simple as that. -
At Walmart (at least one store)
Daddyfink replied to Classicgas's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Easy there, we don't get that APROPLECTIC about prices. It is just very disappointing when a kit maker, R2, re boxes and old tool, say the ECTO 1, with a super low parts count and some hokey decals and charges as much as a Tamiya kit. Is this the CHEAPSKATE part you are implying? Most of the tooling being used by R2 has been paid for a few times over, and now it is mostly repair cost they have to recoup. Molding a few new parts, and deleting a bunch of other ones, is not a reason to really mark something up. I don't blame the LHS, I blame R2 for trying pass it off as business as usual. And now, I am not blind, I know the cost of things is going up in our hobby, but this was before the mess really kicked in. As for prices at WM, they call the shots, and in this case, we are fine with their pricing. You want to pay full boat, go for it! No one is telling you not to, but don't dump on others for finding a deal. -

Cheapskates? What is wrong with getting a deal? Really? Finding models at Walmart is a rare thing these days, as opposed to a LHS that is there, hopefully, year round. So this is not a year long deal for model buyers. I am sure Round 2 made their money, and Walmart probably did as well. Most clearance leftovers are mostly kits that we don't want. Snap kits, cartoon kits or something you already have bunch of in the stash. I bought some extra Vega kits there after I had already bought some from my LHS, and now I picked up some discounted ones for the upcoming Model Expos Raffle Trust me, I pay full boat for a kit I want, but I am not walking away from a deal. If that makes me a cheapskate, then so be it! CHEAPSKATES OF THE WORLD UNITE!! -

Daddyfink replied to Classicgas's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
All the Wal Marts around here have clearance out all their kits. I just picked up a Ford LNT Snow Plow for $15, and it was the last one on the shelf, just some monopoly willys panels left. I just saw the Wal Mart kits as an opportunity to pick up some cheap kits, while still paying full boat at my LHS for kits that are not WM bound, like the Nova kits and other R2 kits, and not getting dinged to hard. It is nice to get a deal once in a while, but I know it is not going to be the norm. So no complaints here! -
Well, it is a movie car......

Yellow Fever Competition Coupe, Keeler's Kustoms

Hey! Look! A HEMI! https://www.facebook.com/AtlantisToyAndHobby/?hc_ref=ARSVxzWkkvWEw79h8E7UIfXDXVT3ovW6MMpVcreP-ipZn-Fb9Xr7czLw-4N15RqMP6A&fref=nf -
I found the clearance models at the local Walmart. They had this, the plow, the Switchers 32 Coke panel, the Monopoly Willys and some Star Trek stuff. And for only $15 I picked this one up

I need to get another display cabinet
Daddyfink replied to chris chabre's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Check for closing or closed businesses that are clearing out displays. Lots of display store stuff out there can be picked up for cheap a the moment. I know it is a sad situation for them, but why let that stuff end up in a landfill. Also, check local auction houses that do business or school equipment auctions. A few years back we cleared out some museum quality display cases from a science class, those where some really nice tall glass and wood display cases. -
Are these the best-ever, yet most unsung funny car kits of all time?
Daddyfink replied to tim boyd's topic in Drag Racing
Why Revell never made different bodies for this chassis is beyond me. A new Camaro or Cuda would have made way more building options that what we got. -

This should fit the bill -
Yellow Fever Competition Coupe, Keeler's Kustoms
Daddyfink replied to stavanzer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
The engine in the Miss Deal is the parts pack HEMI, so hopefully that is what is being slipped in. Nice vintage sponsor decals, btw
