You sir have hit a goldmine. I sold a couple of spare unbuilt LS 1:1 pistol kits on Ebay for over $80 each when bidding ended. Be sure to include shipping to Europe and Japan. Unbuilt pistol models are very prized to buyers in countries that ban all real gun ownership. Seems they can own a unbuilt non-firing model but not a real one. I stated in my description that I will ship USA only but would ship to a third party agent in USA who would ship to other countries. Good luck.

Vince, another great looking Willys. The grill looks like the spare (custom) one in the original Revell SWC '41 Willys kit.

Hey Ace, anything more on this comparison?

Gee, Vince, a Willys pickup? Great job.

Okay, I stand corrected. I'll still use a modified Bantam coupe body to build a replica.

I love this Bantam Altered that is being built on this forum.

All that being said. If I were going stockish or Altered I would go with the Jimmy Flintstone resin cast one. Wheel location is right for either.

Snake, the Jawbreaker Bantam body (in orange) seams a little simplified and off to me verses the Slingster body (in maroon). The Slingster one looks more like the Bantams I remember from the 60's.

Well, here was a built Revell "32 Roadster I got off Ebay. Disassembled it and gave it a purple pond bath. Trying to replicate Stroker McGurk's Roadster from the Tom Medley cartoons in the early Hot Rod magazines. Even found some chrome reversed rims with baby moon hubcaps in the parts box to add to it. All I need now is a Stroker McGurk figure from an old MPC Tall "T" kit. Anyone out there got a glue bomb one or whatever to trade?

I got a project planned for one. Grumpy's last Toy?

Man, I love that paint. I think you nailed it.

You may be thinking of the MPC '71 Road Runner. I believe it had parts to resemble a Superbird. Even though there was no such real car.

Wow, 5 hr. job, I am I'm impressed. There are guys on this Forum that have WIP threads for years and still don't finish. That is great.

Hey "Too Old" it's been a year and a half, any progress? I'm getting "Too Old" to wait much longer.

Hey Grant, great job. You inspired me to pull out a gluebomb of one I got off Ebay. Had to paint the glass and body after sanding. Engine was used in another project, so I dropped in an AMT '64 Garlits hemi. Those early Revell dragsters were great parts mines.

Aha, clicked section as read and the tried again. Bingo it opened. I don't know, sometimes with computers you just have to hold you mouth just right.

I did a computer cleanup and tried to open it again. Still get a "problem loading" message.

Having a problem trying to open the Drag Racing section of the forum. I keep getting an error notice. Anyone else having tis problem?

Brad, I have an extra set of original decals if you need them. PM me. Gerald

Update: tonneau cover and rear headrest / airfin made. Needs more sanding. Some progress.

Thanks for the comments. Have acquired some parts for the project. Headrest from an AMT '62 Vette, tonneau cover from an MPC '60 Vette (thanks Rich), windscreen from an AMT Cobra, and steelies from an AMT '59 Vette. Now the work begins, I need to continue the tonneau cover over the driver side of the dash and make an airfin to fit on the headrest. Will keep you posted as to progress.

Here's an article that I am using for reference.https://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/articles/2017/01/18/corvette-test-mule

I found my '62 Corvette kit. It does have a headrest/fin that might be modifiable. Thanks for the tip.
