Kinda looks like a remote oil filter mount to me. I only have the stock version on hand and I don't see that part in the kit or on the instruction sheet. Any chance it migrated over from another kit?

Right you are, Alan. We've already got too many guys driving around here that have spent too much time watching the "Fast and Furious" franchise and apparently believe it's a documentary. Not to beat a dead horse here, but a few further thoughts: while most of us here can appreciate an outrageously built car, I'm not sure why anyone needs to put 1300 HP in a car that they don't intend to race - but of course if you were building a race car you'd have to adhere to a strict set of safety guidelines. On the other hand, if you want to build an automotive sculpture, make it as wild as your imagination and budget allows, trailer it to shows, and maybe don't make the streets any more dangerous than they already are.

Wow, this has to be one of the most infuriating things I've seen lately, and not just because he ruined a '64 Comet. The guy was lucky he didn't kill someone - there's nothing about this that can even remotely be called an "accident".

Yes, you can call, email, or mail order, but no website. Pretty old school, but I usually fill in the order form and mail it in with a check. Service and quality are second to none.

Replicas and Miniatures does one. Part # RH-901

Just completed a great trade with Dr Kerry - quick and easy.

From a few years ago, right here:

According to this article, it wasn't the trans - it was the bottom end. https://www.motortrend.com/news/the-drag-racing-saga-of-the-magic-muffler-fuel-altereds-part-1/

I saw this rather famous example at a show yesterday. The Ratican Jackson Stearns Fiat: More about the car here: http://cacklefest.com/Stearns.shtml

Not exactly on the road I guess, but seeing the Ratican Jackson Stearns Fiat at the Road Kings show today was kinda cool.

This thread might give you a few ideas: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/lets-see-some-fiat-topolinos.1035602/

Wow, excellent! I don't think I've seen a build of this car before.

Good job, Rich! Your modifications really paid off. I built this kit several years ago and found it quite a challenge - the worst was the engine cover which was warped and I never could get it to fit decently. The decals weren't too bad for me, but I don't imagine time has been kind to them. The Heller and Airfix kit are the same; there are two versions with slightly different decals that I know of.

Sharp!

Thanks, Pierre - I'm sure yours will be great! Tires are just the kit tires. Decals I can't quite remember - maybe Fred Cady, but I keep a few different sheets around that have the Goodyear Blue Streak circles. I know Indycals makes some now: https://www.indycals.net/decals/tires/blueringtires.html Anyway, build thread here from a few years back, and once again, good luck with yours. I'll be watching.

Maybe too late at this point for you, but if you can get hold of the a-arms that HRM makes for this kit, they help correct the front ride height. In hindsight, I wish I had lowered the rear a little when I built mine.

Simply stunning. What everyone else said already, plus I'm really enjoying the variety of his builds!

I dug out what I think is my original issue 427 from 1993. These are the door panels in that kit: The plate near the top says "Fairlane 500".

Well done - I love seeing these getting built, especially with all the little changes and improvements.

Nice builds, Dave! I've got the Mustang GT on the bench now - building it as the "red" Miller version, using the Speedline decals.

Cool concept - love the side by side comparison!

Excellent - clever idea and well done!

There's a whole lot of NASCAR history involved in answering in this question.

For what it's worth, at one time Replicas & Miniatures was carrying an Auburn panel (RH-508) designed for the '32 roadster. I don't see it listed in their latest catalog, but there is a "dash w/ 3 & 5 hole panel" (RH-507).

Here's a few from the other day: The one that got away - couldn't quite catch up to it - was a Delorean done up in full Back to the Future mode. Just another day in Los Angeles.
