I've heard both tooling stories about those old 62 annuals, glass and tires. Tooling new tires doesn't seem to the issue it used to be. Depending on the interchangeability, they may only need a couple. The glass might be a bit bigger of a deal, but definitely not insurmountable. Window glass tools aren't all that complex, and in fact, are probably cheaper to create than tire tools.

Now that I could see. Much like how major portions of the 28 Model A Sedan ended up in the Woody/Pickup tool.

Say what? Do you have some parts you can do a side by side comparo to show? Wasn't the the Buick body on frame? Forgive me for being incredulous. And I'm certainly not saying you're wrong. But those two kits seem very very different from each other.

Drag City Casting makes a top like that.

Man, that's gorgeous!

That is off the hook with coolness.

Be still my beating heart, that is a little treasure.

The bigger question is did the 69 tool survive the big scrap drive of 1973.

The hardtop/convertible always had chrome headlamps and the two piece chrome and red taillights. Both are continued in the current notchback kit.

For a second I thought that was a survivor, Tom. Cool build! We'll call this one a "Faux-vivor".

This is purely off the top of my head, but if memory serves correctly,(and Mark or Tim will correct me if I'm wrong) the chassis and engine for the Sonny & Cher Mustangs later went under the Mach 1/ Autolite Special/Iron Horse et al, then combined with the 66 Promo body to create the 66 Coupe we have now. But I'm with you.

I'm not sure how I mised this post for over a year! Very cool build and great idea.

Very, very nice! With the healthy stance and white lettered tires, I'd date this look to the early to mid 70s, a look overdue to come into its own. I really like this one a lot.

Maybe splice in the rear panel from the 67 and fix both problems at once.

Looks great! Don't forget the center mounted backup light over the rear license plate.

Agreed. There areva lot of parts specific to the Rat Roaster that are improvements over what's in the other Deuce kits. It also has a stockish firewall.

Fix It Again, Tony.

Now that's a honey. Nice build, too.

The modified stacks never left. Revell tooled up a chrome new tree with the chrome wheels, 5 spoked mags, and other missing Tweedy Pie stuff on it. Let's hope Atlantis got that insert (or tool) as well, because those new stacks are even nicer than the originals.

The wheels look much better now.

Your's looks a heck of a lot better than the box art build. Who built it over did it on the foil, and the colors are too loud. It looks like one of those pull back cars you can get at the grocery store. Your's looks like a real one.

I like both, but I'd suggest lowering the front end some.

What an insanely cool project. I love it.

It's a preview of the press release that will go out officially on the 13th.

I saw the review of the Galaxie included with race car set. It's the same tool. That said, I still want a couple.
