I think it's based off that principle, they even a glow in the dark wrap!

It's either a paint that comes out like chrome (like Alclad) or a foil wrap (like BMF) Jim, and I gotta agree with the wheels, those should be chromed too!

I was digging around for more info on the car the other night, sounds like they'll be offering the options in an Ala-cart manner instead of just options packages that not everybody might want. I'm kinda hoping that they'll allow a basic, stripper model to be ordered with the best available drivetrain and suspension!

Just ran across an article on this yesterday, I'm kinda digging the look on this car! Kinda want to try it with one of Revell's '63 Stingray snappers now!

If I fit in it, could afford it, and could buy it here in the States.............oooooooooooooooooh yea! They do remind me of a high end Track-T too, guess you could build one for a whole lot cheaper, even if you built it with a totalled Vette.

BTW Guys, if you're going to post pictures of wheelies, might as well make them worth while

huh, those wheels really work well with that model!

Love the build Mike! as for the show being killed off......NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can just imagine what was going through his head right now......and not one word of it I dare repeat on here

Can't wait to see what you do with these kits, and yes, those are two very different models! I almost felt gypped when I opened that Revell/Monogram kit after having bought and saw how many more parts were in the AMT one.

Looks good so far....just watch out for freight trains

I'm hoping they left all the A-Team pieces in the AMT kit, it would be nice to have the 80's and early 90's grill and bumper pieces as well as the flares and running boards as options still.

Cool, thanks! I've been thinking about the 5 slot wheels from the old '55 "gasser" model that's been around forever for when this kit comes back out.

Yea, Yamaha motor does throw a kink into that a bit

Looks good, what kit did you source the Cragars from?

They appear to just for show, it would be interesting to see somebody make headers that would connect to a set of 4 into 1 style sidepipes on these vans though........can't imagine which one I'd have less desite to fabricate and install, that setup in 1/24-1/25 or on the real thing!

Probably had severe traction issues too if it also was a X frame car.

I like that Charger, but if the windshield was an inch or so lower and maybe laid back a few inches too then add a T-Bird like back seat like cover.............

You probably shot those the year before he brought it out this way while here visiting family. Last I heard he bought and was running a garage of some sort not too long after he was out this way.

I'VE seen that car in person and used to be in e-mail contact with it's owner, from what he could find on that car, it was converted back in the 70's when nearly new with all factory parts that were stripped off a real Superbird so the dealer could actually get it to sell. The car's original owner found those parts behind the the dealer, bought them, and had them installed on his 383 Vert. It's really anice car and the guy who owned it is pretty nice too.

Knew a guy in HS who's brother had a Toyota Nova and had a habit of doing that, don't think those transmissions faired any better, or why his folks kept getting it fixed on their dime either............

Wonder if that car left the ground when it blew?!

Well, it was a Max Wedge or a Hemi in that car, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I seem to remember finding a pic or something of a built SRT-8 Grand Cherokee that had what was supposed to have a built 4L80-e do that...at idle in the pits at a drag strip.

They probably had to start over from scratch Hope he doesn't go to see the Muppet Movie then, saw parts of Hazzard in it
