Here's another project that's needs help to finish. It's a kit bashed Altered that uses a AMT 25t parts pack body, spare parts injected 327 chevy engine, with a Revell Tony Nancy kit competition trans, AMT Fiat Altered chassis. front spoke wheels and straight axle from the parts box, Revell pie crust M&H slicks, rear wheels and axle from the parts box, and finally a scratch built roll bar and interior cover. I need help with the decals to finish. See enclosed pic of real car. Anyone out there that can copy and print white lettering decals?

The Gto front tires were from the spare tires box. They are Goodyear Red lines (I put the red stripe inside) from one of my 60's kits Check out my 25T Altered kit of Charlie Smith's from 1964. I need help with the decals.

The Arnie GTO started out as a Polar lights snap kit '64 GTO Hdtp. With some scratch building, the spare parts box and Slixx decals it came together. The Chrisman Comet started as a AMT Craftman kit. It took a lot of scratch building to do it justice. The decals were the hardest parts to find. A company out of Canada (Bad Habit motorsports) made some, but I believe they are now out of business.

Here's a couple of my 1964 funny cars. Jack Chrisman's '64 Comet (the decals are from Badlands in Canada). Also Arnie Beswick's '64 GTO. Picked up a built 1964 Dodge Chargers on Epay. Disassembled it, made several changes, added new chassis and engine bay, redid engine, repaint lower front panel, hand cut blue stripes, redid interior, etc. I know the side decals were placed wrong on the original but I did not redo them, I just modified them. Always felt I needed a Dodge Chargers to go with Chrisman's Comet and Beswick's GTO. Story was that Chrisman would show up at the drag strips where the Dodge Chargers were running each other and challenge them but they were told by Chrysler not to do it. Jimmy Nix was going to modify the #2 car and drop in a supercharged Hemi on nitro, but it never came about. Let me know what you think.

Well, I decided to join the forum. I have been building and collecting model car kits for over 50 years. Mostly name drag racing, some Nascar and show cars. Hope to post some pics soon. I usually try to do a series of cars by years (funny cars from '64 thru '78, Pro stocks '63 thru '74, dragsters '57 thru '77, etc.) . You can tell what era I'm familiar with. I try to replicate each car as close to available pics and info . Enclosed a pic of some of my unbuilt collection. Hope you enjoy. Magicmustang
