Rocking Rodney Rat

Body from the Revell Ms. Deal kit, top chopped, blower hole in hood filled, front air dam, exhaust cutouts just behind the front wheel well filled in, trunk scooped out for rollcage. Chassis from the Revell Attempt 1 kit. It looks like the Mooneyes frame, but the roolbar hoops are more narrow. Engine is a Potvin supercharged Hemi from the MPC Cosmic Charger kit. Wheels and tires, fronts from the Monogram Slingster kit, wheels aftermarket chrome plated, rears from Polar Lights funny car kit. Interior tin scratched together from Evergreen styrene. Paint is Testors 'One Hit' Revving Red with Tamiya Pearl White cove faded with Testors 'One Hit' Inca Gold. Minwax polyurethane clear gloss. Decals (mostly) from Slixx. buildup pix here: A whole buncha more pix here: https://public.fotki.com/jferren/dragtime-53-studeba/ Thanks for looking..... -RRR

Yes, I was figuring this was cut up for the Ms. (let's be politically correct, shall we??) Deal kit. -RRR

I know: https://public.fotki.com/jferren/revell-parts-packs/ -RRR

I wonder if this one still exists... -RRR

pic is of my build, made part and had it chromed. front axle from Tony Nancy dragster. -RRR

there's one part, a trianulated wishbone suspension part.....will post up.

I got mine today. It doesn't appear any items are missing. It's a collection of five previously issued Revell Parts Packs, so I'm not sure how one would say 'parts are missing' . I suppose one could argue that the parts in box don't really allow one to build an accurate Mooneyes dragster replica. ????? -RRR

Yeah, it's still amazing that these old parts packs are being resurrected. It will certainly be interesting to see how many of these old packs https://public.fotki.com/jferren/revell-parts-packs/ Atlantis has, the Fiat will be a welcome companion. I wonder if they have the BSA, Triumph, Honda and Harley motorcycle packs? That would be amazing if they released all four in one box! Bring 'em on!!! -RRR

It's a great time to be alive!!!!! An order you recently placed on our website has had its status changed. The status of order #3640 is now Shipped I can't wait!!!! -RRR

The roadster chassis speed equipment piece isn't plated???? AAARAGAGAHAHGHHH!!!! Off to the platers... Isn't there supposed to be two engines with this? -RRR

Apparently!! -RRR

That Sandbagger is my fave. I'm intending to make a version of that with leftover Garlits Wynnsjammer parts once I can source the proper rear tires. -RRR

Looks better than any of my paint jobs!!! ? -RRR

I got the chassis done...... now I'm awaiting the arrival of some decals I ordered from Slixx.... -RRR

I'm slowly working away on the Stude as time allows....I got the Hemi dialed in, it's from the Cosmic Charger dragster... Thanks for checking in....more later.... -RRR

That's sweet, Marty! I like the decal cut up you did. I guess "The Hippie Big Block Chevy" doesn't have quite the same ring to it! Thanks for posting ! -RRR

Thanks, I guess I had never scrolled down that far the home page before as I was unaware of that section.... -RRR

I wondered what happened to the good Doctor, hasn't been around here in five years.... -RRR

Fisker KARMA Revero. You don't see one of these every day.... -RRR

The Monogram (not Revell) '30 Coupe is a factory stock kit, OOP but available on your favorite auction site: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334185624758?hash=item4dcf03f4b6:g:qKQAAOSwXE9hbM97 -RRR

That looks a ton better! You know I'm taking notes from when/if I catch up to you on my build.... -RRR

Thanks, TIM. Always good to have you on board! -RRR

Nice! it's a vintage funny car that would be 'real' steel factory body.....there I fixed it for you. -RRR

X 2 !!!!! -RRR

Very interesting. You were so far ahead of me skill-levelwise back in the day.... -RRR
