I kinda finished the Chopped Deuce version back in the early 80's, but never actually did. too many little parts and not enough skill

Yup, this one had all the Gasser goodies in it. This one did not...

Well I'll be dipped! Thanks for the history run through!

Are you talking about the Monza Wagon?

How do you get a Monza out of a Vega? Two totally different cars

So, no gasser parts in the 55. That's a shame

One current, and kinda easily available source would be the Monogram Slingster

Hey! Mods! STOP DELETING MY POSTINGS!! How is that for discord!?

According to this website, http://www.daedalus-berlin.de/Fw190D9_triebwerk.htm , the tank on the side is a lubricant tank. No mention of what the top item is

This is a dumb thread

Same guts, different bodies...

Nice build! Can't wait to get one myself!

Gotcha! Just out of curiosity, have you checked 1/20th?

Just curious, but why the Van kit?

I don't know who you are aiming the question at, but, if it should be me, my late friend Skip made them from original decals and corrected the cowl decals as well

Strictly a resin kit if you really want one. http://futurattraction.com/ http://futurattraction.com/6.html

Didn't the Datsun Pick Up share the same of the same parts as well?

Well, this movie was not exactly a History Of Drag Racing epic and it was done on a very small budget, and so was American Graffitti, and I think Dave Uyehara did a great job assembling some cars that resembled the time frame of the movie. All they needed was a car that actually moved, not a perfect, period correct restoration. This was a mule, it had to start on demand, run on demand and crash on demand. And one must also remember that the Nostalgia movement was barely going by a few die hard folks. They ran what was available and made it as reliable as possible. Only those in the know figured out that it was not exactly correct, but to the average movie goer, it was an old car that he raced. My build is not faithful to the movie car as I decided to slightly correct my build as I saw fit and took a few liberties with it. This build is more faithful to the movie car and that is fine.
