MPC had the "Wild Willie Borsch" '23 T and "Bantam Blast" fuel altered kits. AMT had the Double Dragster kit with an Fiat body altered, (although it was during the fuel ban). Revell had the '23 T body, Bantam body and Fiat bodies in their rare double kits. Don't recall an Anglia altered (gasser?) kit.

Oh! Thanks for your reply. I'll have to pull it out and look.

Amen to that!

What's wrong with this kit?

Chris, yours looks great! Here's the Car Craft cutaway pic for those who want total accuracy. Seems I remember TooOld on the forum was doing a scratch built frame!

Snake, it looks to be a silver colored frame in this shot.

Well, I am retired. I have nowhere to go, and all day to get there. Naps, however, do slow down progress.

How about a Snap bomb. Got one off the bay. Took it apart and redid it.

Been looking for one too. Just picked up a Hawk Bobcat on Epay. Will try your described improvements.

Here's two of my glue bomb rescues. Before and after.

Stunning!!! You sir, are in a class by yourself. Your model is more realistic than the car I drive.

First thing I noticed, too. Like the way you are getting some mess on it!

Be sure and use 90% alcohol as 70% may not do it either.

I surprised no one nominated the AMT Nascar Earnhardt Tbird and the Petty Grand Prix. Even as curbside there were very few useable parts. The decals were of some use. The chassis and glass were Palmerish.

Had a Jeep Grand Cherokee in '97. Was driving to work on the freeway in rush hour traffic and it was raining. We were going about 50mph when the guy in front of me slammed on the brakes. I swerved right, now I'm up on two wheels and about to roll over. Swerved back left and brought it back down in the next lane. Don't know how I didn't roll or hit someone else. That Jeep's high center of gravity could be exciting. My next SUV was a Durango.

"I didn't mean to turn him around, I meant to rattle his cage though." Great build of "Old Ironhead's" Bristol winner. I watched that race on TV. Dale got alotta of boos for spinning Terry LaBonte on the last lap. Good weathering job.

Yep, Slixx decals, built 12 years ago. Yeah, I know this is a Johan Comet, but I wouldn't pay the price for a Maverick.

Even if your building an Eleanor Mustang?

X2!!

You mean this one!

Can I get an AMEN!!!

Yep, I saw that. Reminds me of a GT40 bucket of snakes exhaust system.

Decided to stay with the Tweedy pie frame. It was already shorten in the rear and has a built in kick up. Added the Outlaw rear cross member. It also already had the suicide front cross member with perch. Did lengthen the frame a 1/4 inch (6 scale inches) in front of the engine mount to try and get close to the 96" wheelbase on the Kookie Kar. As they say in Govt. work "close enough".

I will try to replicate, I know I can't duplicate.

Thanks for the tip Alan. It just so happens that I do have a AMT '29 Model A frame (somewhere). I will dig it out and start to work .
