The Instructions for those who have never seen the kit. https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/revell-instructions/straightline-competition/revell-dodge-funny-/?view=roll https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/revell-instructions/straightline-competition/revell-dodge-revell/?view=roll#4

I'll Look for some. Thanks for the Photo.

I may have some. Exactly which ones do you want? Can you show a Pic? Alan

Another Great Build! Your Older Builds are great! Good Show.

Wonderful Build! As others have said, that Teal Colour is Spot On! Good Show.

Thanks! They looks great!

Rex, I really like the wheels on your build. Those are in the kit, aren't they?

Jim S, love that build. Where did those wheels come from?

I think Revell still has the tooling for the Tony Nancy Dragster that is the chassis on this kit. Not sure where the body shell tooling is. Atlantis may have it, but they are very closed mouthed about what tooling is in their possession.

Jim, just remember that the Intake Manifold and Heads on the pickup are all one piece, and trap the exhaust manifolds/headers between the heads and the block. You'll need to do some minor surgery in order to fit a single carb manifold. I've been eyeing the stock intakes from the AMT '56 & '57 Fords as donors.

Makes sense to do it that way. Thanks, Steve.

I test fitted the Flattie Hop-Up parts from the Revell '48 Ford Convertible, the Revell '40 Ford Coupe/Convertible and the Revell 37/37 Ford Pickup. All are the Versions with a Hot Rod flathead V-8 in the kit. With a bit of trimming all the Dual or Triple Carb intakes fit all the blocks. All the aftermarket Heads fit as well. There is some "adjusting" needed for them, but you should be able to get them to work on the '32 engine. In fact I have an Ardun Head build of a '32 Roadster using the Heads from the Revell '50 Pickup in the works now.

Tim, When I saw the chassis on the new Chevy kit, it just popped into my mind, that the '65 El Camino would be a good donor for a drag car. I've rounded up a 5 of HPI Guy's video reviews on kits that I think would make good parts donors for the new kit, if you want to make a drag machine. I know many members may not know or remember exactly what parts are in what kits, so these video's should give a quick overview. I can give no guarantee that the parts are drop in swaps. My Guess is that there will be a lot of fettling to make things work, but the end result should be some cool cars! I included the '63, because it has the option for a Fuel Injected Six Cyl, which would make a Unique Racer. Hope this helps!

It looks like the Raised Front suspension part from the '65 Elky kit could work on this kit. If it does, you can build a '64 Gasser pretty easily.

Thanks for the great video. Not much of any interest though. The Streaker F-85, the Boss Nova, the red '32 Ford Roadster. Steve G, could we get tinted glass on the Streaker, please? Red, Yellow or Blue would be great great! Thanks.

Thanks for all the great Info, Guys!! I need to start sending E-mails and see what I can scare up

I'm looking for a 1/24 or 1/25 Curtiss OX-5 Engine in order to build an Edwardian Era race car. I assume that any I could find would be 3D printed, and I'm okay with that. I'd also accept any other Aero Engine of that time period, in the same scales. Many Thanks, Alan

Looking for the Brush Guard, Front Bumper from either the Dodge Monster Truck or ThunderStruck Puller. Part # 106 in this image. I'd cheerfully take the Winch (3 parts #82) also. I'll take it in pretty much any condition, as long as it is usable. The ThunderStruck Brush Guard is part # 76. I have lots to trade! Thanks!

They used it later in a series of Gas Company Commercials, for the "Road Worrier" IIRC. Great Build, Terry. I remember riding the bus into L.A. for Doctor appointments at the Sepulveda V.A. and seeing the Landmaster sitting derelict at a shop on the west side of the 405. You really did a great job job on the finish.

Great Trucks, Jurgen! I really Like the DAF 2800. I want ti find one and build it, but Italeri truck kits cost a lot on cash and I am cheap. I'll get one some day. I really like the look of the 2800. I can see one built with Canadian markings.

Great Build. Just the right amount of written content. Your Paint job is Flawless! Good Show.

Very Nice Build! Clever Conversion and use of parts! Good Show!

Great Looking Build!

IIRC, when Scale Auto did a review of the Trumpy kit they noted that the chrome had a copper undercoating, just like 'real' chrome. It may be almost impossible to strip the chrome plating with out ruining the plastic, I'd spray the parts with a good primer (Tamiya, maybe?) and then paint to suit. Also, what colour are you planning on painting the de-chromed parts? If it is a different shade of chrome, I might try different clear flat paints to see what finish I could get.
