I have a set of 1/32 Monogram drag cars I did many years ago.

I used a Jolly Roger hood to correct the one on a Multi Maverick. Still have an prebuilt one (Jolly Roger) and a spare body from two glue bombs. I don't believe it (JR) was ever a real car

Agree entirely.

The body panels were only over the driver in it's first outing, but full front panels and a rear wing were added later.

I agree, the MPC Wynnscharger re-release is closest, just need to leave off most of the front panel and rearrange the decals.

Pics, please.

Hey Alan, glad to see your back on this project. The Ohio George Willys SOHC engines are a good version. Looks great so far.

That is why I check this forum every day. I learned something again. I have a Wilhelm's Wonder kit (Wild Dream) but I don't have a King "T". I do have an MPC Outcast kit and I do have the re-release of the AMT 1925 Ford T. Thank's for the info Dave.

Started with a '72 Nova "Old Pro" body, sanded off all the trim. Removed the inner wheelwells, glued the fenders and hood together. Put it on a Polar lights chassis with interior tin. Added Jungle Jim decals. Turned out better than I expected.

I have never used any of the said solvents on decals, but when I have a problem on a decal laying down I rock over the wrinkle with a curved xacto blade to relieve the pressure. I then coat the decals and entire painted body with a coat of Future acrylic polish. That stuff is amazing. I have 50 year old decaled model cars that still look as good as when I finished them. No chipping, no cracking, no fading, and no yellowing.

I believe that MPC did have two releases of kit #731 in 1970. On one the box art said DAYTONA and on the other the box art said CHARGER DAYTONA, but the internal contents were the same. A corrected Charger Daytona race body (without the door scoops) and a full race NASCAR chassis was released as the Richard Brooks NASCAR Charger in 1972.

Great use of outdoor lighting.IMG_3370.MP4

Having been retired for 14 years now, I find that my building time is split. Between surfing on Ebay (both buying and selling), going thru my parts boxes (wish I had a nickel for every time I been thru them), pulling out old kits from the attic (and putting them back), and going thru the MCM forum, I find my actual building time hasn't increased much. I try to finish at least one build a month (I've never been into major detailing), so this is obtainable. My new problem is all the information available on the forum and the internet, I find I am constantly pulling out old builds and adding newly discovered details or completely redoing them. But I will admit with doing all this, I don't know when I would have time for my business that I sold 14 years ago.

Yep Vince, you sent me the article with the centerfold. Gerald

It was called the "Meister Brau Express" built by Bud and Steve Jaske. Was powered by two 575ci Arias-Hemis. Used a '34 grill and the '34 Tudor body. Have the article, will try and download pics for you. He later converted it to a single engine "Miller Special" as seen above.

I agree. Remember "Spell Check" is your friend.

Looking good. Congrats to Joey on winning the 2018 Championship.

Back from the Dead!! I'm calling it done. Ivo 1960 Twin Buick engine dragster made from a gluebomb Ivo Showboat. A fair three-footer.

Can I play. I have so many in the "Deadpool", it's so hard to chose. I would like to enter this one. It's a Tommy Ivo Showboat that I've been trying to save. Started out as a gluebomb I acquired over thirty years ago. I have decided to go for the Twin engine Buick dragster as I could not save two of the engines (that's why it sat for all these years). Enclosed a pic of what I'm trying to replicate.

I found a pic of Benny Parsons restored '73 Chevelle. I presume this is close to what you did.

Okay, I've seen some like that before. Thanks for the pic.

Tim, where did you come up with the idea for that air cleaner? I've never seen one like that before. Do you have a pic you could share of the Allison engine bay?

Wow, great job. I just finished one that I had to convert back from stock to Nascar.

I believe it looks better than the real car!! Incredible build, again!!
