Resurrection: Marrs Boys 1963 Corvette BB/G
Altered Ego replied to R. Thorne's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
This car and the Blue Hell were two of my favorites Corvettes from this era. I can't wait to see the finished product. -

That is perfect for what I am looking. What do you need in trade?

I know this is a stretch, but does anyone have the decal sheet for this kit?

I finally finished the Motown Missile. I became friends with Ted Spehar back in the '90's and learned alot about this car. I started with the Revell AAR Cuda kit, the paint is Testors enamel black with decals from Slixx. The engine is a Moebius hemi with heads and valve covers a Polar LIght funny car kit. The intake and carbs came from a Monogram pro stock kit (not sure which), which was a way to make my own high port Hemi. I took some creative liberties by using a 289 Ford fan and alternator to replace the big (heavy) Chrysler pieces and modified a dual oil filter mount into my own design dual distributor drive. I mounted a Lenco with gold lightning rod shifters (acquired in a trade) and made the traction bars from scratch. The hood and scoop came from Competition Resins.

Finally finished this one. This is the box stock Revell Sox & Martin Cuda, save for resin Dominator carbs I got from a trade on here, the shifter from the Revell 66 Malibu and decals from Chuck's. The original plan was to be the Sox & Martin but I completely messed up the paint (grabbed the wrong can!) and settled on Grotheer's car which turned out pretty well.

I don't think you should have done anything different. This totally looks like something you would see at some backwoods track back in the mid-60's. I think it is great.

Needing a rollbar/roll cage with a taper at the B-post. Thinking something like the bar in the Petty 64 Plymouth kit.

Finally, the weather cooperated enough for me to get the first one done. The Rice Holman Ford Mustang Pro Stocker. I started with the Revell Boss 302 Mustang and added Moebius' great 427 Cammer. The Old Pro kit donated the hood scoop (cut down to a more realistic height), ladder bars, wheels and slicks. The inner headlights were filled with the aluminum inserts from the Moebius AWB Plymouth kit. The decals are from Polecat.

The decals are from Polecat. The entire build is pretty much the Moebius Comet and a Polar Lights Mustang funny car. I cut the floorboard out to simulate the engine being 28" back. I used the doghouse from the PL funny car to make the firewall assembly. I believe there is a picture with the hood off way back on page 1.
