I believe this is the old Sunny kit.

That be the kit. I am only guessing on the figure with the wrench and other gentleman being Barney and Harvey but it seems likely.

Does anyone make Henry Ford's 999 racer? I just won the ICM kit of Henry Ford and what could be Barney Oldfield and maybe Harvey Firestone.

How about a right hand drive for the Revell 69' Mustang so one could build Allan Moffat's car?

Hi Ed, Which truck looks like Joe's as the one with the barrels in the back is one I built.

The Fujimi 427 Cobra I opened the box looked at what was supposed to be a 427 engine and closed the box and traded it away I will stick with the Revellogram Cobra!

More pics

Here are some pics from the first Southwest Challenge back in about 1986 I was going through some old negatives that survived a house fire 13yrs ago. Don't know who built these except for mine in this batch it is the Model A with the barrels in the back. More pics will follow as I get them scanned in enjoy.

Very well done!! Heller kits are fairly decent just take a little time and viola!

The MPC kit is a different kit from the AMT the MPC kit has had a long run with several different decal options at least they made an attempt at changing the valve covers to represent the Boss motor. the decals are very nice. That version of the AMT kit was the Warren Tope kit made into a pseudo street car. there were no side marker lights molded in as it is the racecar body.

Would love to see this tooled up also! These photos are courtesy of Claudio Giovanni from Facebook.

This is a Trans-Am road racer not a drag car. Glad to AMT bring back this version.

Listening on radio-lemans at work!

I have the Canon version and my plan (still after 20+ yrs. ) is to make a Canon sponsored motorcycle team van.

Not the Wed Won!.................Seriously though cool car!

This is an interesting topic, As one of my LHS owners wants to do a show and shine type of an event to help get people especially the younger crowd back into hobbies and wants the help of our club to help organize and work the event. So I think it is great that he wants to do this.

Regardless of the reasons they are produced in the U.S.A. we should be happy about this. I know being from Michigan this is very cool as up around the Kalkaska area there isn't much industry. So to produce these kits there is a great thing all around. I have heard that some stuff from other manufacturers is produced here in the U.S. like some of their limited run stuff.

Very well done!

Do not forget all the 1/43 kits out there as the list would be at least twice as big.

Thank you!

Does anyone know if anyone does a repop of the old Aurora 1962 T-Jet Galaxie hardtop as I need at least the body as I am doing a diorama of Mel's Drive In and need the cop car.

Academy was also supposed to come out with a Daytona Coupe however that is a dead horse that no longer needs to be beaten!

One of my faves too my friend!!

I have a couple 1/43 Daytona coupes one is the red one the other is $5.00 diecast by Yat Ming, it is actually very decent and some really nice Halibrand wheels wth some work it could be very nice.
