Ford. It is the old Revell Parts Pack Motor.

What a great story! Thanks for sharing. I was 26 in 1989, just a year out of the USAF. I'd never heard of model swap meets or shows.

Pete, Thanks a Million, you are a Lifesaver! Man, that Blower is a monster of a thing, isn't it? I hope Round2 manages to clone it at some point. The '63 Looks cleaner, and more serious than the '60 does, at least to my eye. Going to wind up with both tho. The '60 for the trailer, and the '63 for the camper. Going to build a 'circa 1968' or so Low-Buck Race team. A 5 year old truck and a Budget Gasser or Altered should make a great 3 piece set. Kit even come with a push bar for the dragster!

MPC did a couple Dune Buggies and a racing car in 1/20. It is not as odd as it sounds. However, I think One Man, (George Toteff) was the brains behind both the 1960's MPC and Later 1990's Lindberg 1/20 scale kits. IIRC, he was a huge fan of that scale. Nichimo in Japan even did a 1/20 Aero Subaru Light Plane. https://modelingmadness.com/review/civil/poifa200preview.htm

I love that face! Ugly as Sin, but all business,

That kit was originally engineered by Aurora. It is a very old tool.

Revell Sanitary T-Bucket. The Rollbar supports go forward in the Directions. https://modelkitreviews.proboards.com/thread/544/revell-mooneyes-dragster-sanitary-bucket

More Spokes in the Front & Rear Wheels for a start. RPM Models sells a 1/72 Mack Bulldog that might help convert the big one. https://www.1001hobbies.com/172-scale-military-models/29792-rpm-rpm72400-mack-ac-bulldog-truck-type-ehc1--5903217009260.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwi46iBhDyARIsAE3nVrbxFSzD6sW6AAcb3e1Dkfklbr5sazjyyNqwwxDkteDeTej6FpYP_MoaAo6aEALw_wcB

Beautiful Job! I'd sure put one on my desk.

Sure Could Be, but Those Early Dragsters did do some weird things.

Tom, Here is what the instruction sheet shows. There are a few extra parts on the chrome tree. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/amt-instructions/modified-asphalt--d/amt-69-ford-faclon-/?view=roll

Do we know that Atlantis even has the '62 MOPAR Tooling? I know Peter is pretty close mouthed about what he has.

Does anybody have a copy of the Instruction Sheet for the '63 Pickup? I'd really like to see more about the Camper, the 2 custom front ends, and the Supercharged Engine. I suspect that some of the parts might be carry-overs from the '62's but I don't know. I was born in 1963, so a '63 Ford Pickup will be on my list of kits I want to build.

Yes, it does look more like the Pinto Street Rod. Same Pipes, and with no hood. You are right.

Ah, Drat! Those two AMT Ford Pickups will have to come home. Wow, so many ideas to build them. And Atlantis is showing a second TD kit, the Poison Pinto. Looks like it has been modified somewhat, (Where's the Scoop, and the long sidepipes?), but otherwise looking very good. More Great stuff.

Well, Just got the call. My employer just laid me off. I had been working half-days but now it has gotten so slow, that they just dropped me totally. Time to increase my job search efforts. Bleh!

Any bets that the Camaro might surface this weekend? It would be nice to hear some news about it, or see a prototype model.

Great Haul, Adam. Good to see you out there getting new stuff.

You got me. It is a Two Door Sedan/Coupe. I blew it.

Looks Great! I like the Red.

Ah! They would sometimes mount the Model T wheel upside down for a better grip.

Sorry to hear about this Carl, Take it easy and get well. I look forward to you posting again. Prayers Sent, Sir! You are a continuous force for Encouragement and Good Cheer, here at the Forums. Your positive attitude has been noticed by it's absence. Glad to see you posting again!

I love the seat and the upside down steering wheel. You did great!
