This is by far the best box art for this kit and you got it spot on . Nice job on the tri color paint scheme. It’s a great kit but they could have made the injector hat bigger more to scale. it also would have been nice had they tooled up a nice set of headers

You did a fine job here I really like the new MPC pro stock Vegas they build up easy and they really shine when you park them on the shelf .

The last of best era of pro stocks from 70-87 imo . This car was just dominating. A great tribute to on of the best to put on a fire suit. Nice job

You really nailed down that early nineties bracket car look . Nice job on the roll cage and paint

I sure looks nice I really like the color combo and your choice of decals . I like these pick up truck kits but they really use a lot of paint . Another fantastic build

I built these 2 in different eras over my building career. The Jungle Jim nova was started with an early 90’s issue of the AMT old pro Nova body with a stretched front end . The first paint job came out really nice but it was way too dark . I originally used the chassis from the johan challenger as it was readable available at the time . From there it sat on the shelf as I took a 15 year hiatus from model building at around this time I decided to finish it I started by sanding down the body for a fresh coat of pearl white topped by clear blue with slixx decals . Also at this time I replaced the chassis with one from a polar lights kit . I added big block Chevy heads and valve covers. Unfortunately the new paint job developed cracks in the clear blue paint however I just decided to leave it alone. The Arenie Beswick Super Judge funny car is the MPC reissue built box stock with the swap out for dasiy rear wheels . Until next time thanks for looking , Mike

Very well done those decals came out fabulous. The 64 2 door hardtop Dodges are my all time favorite car as I was brought home from the hospital in a red 383 bench seat 4spd Cornet 2 door hardtop when I was born . That was our family’s only mode of transportation at the time . I would love to find one just like it , but there a rare piece these days

Very nicely done I can remember him settling the ET record at Maple Grove with a 4.99 right around this early nineties era . Eddie was usually the under dog I think penzoil was his first big sponsor

I see a kit bash project here when the amt 65 barracuda comes out I think I even have the grill figured out

This is an out of the box build with aftermarket decals . Until next time thanks for looking, Mike

I would be game for a 68-71 grill style by the time the 72’s came out it was a face only a mother could love

I built these using resin bodies from Fremont resin with Moebius donor kits the Plymouth body pretty much drops right on . The dodge body doesn’t I had to do some creative cutting to the dodge’s chassis plate along with the interior side panels and dash . I also used the kit hood grill tail lights, bumpers , and windshield. The rear Keystone wheels are leftovers from the Revell Thunderbolt. The paint is all Tamyia rattle can the decals are Fred cady on the Virginian and yesterday year on the Virginia Twister . All in all I’m very pleased with the outcome on both until next time thanks for looking, mike

I have no clear favorite here they all look spectacular. Also some really nice photography. It would be neat to add a cammer rail to the mix

It really rocks especially outside in the sun light it really makes the color pop.

Great job on the paint match boy I’d like to see this kit reissued . Some Banning Dodge decals would be nice also

Marty you are one of the most creative hot rod / drag car builders out there. I really look forward to your projects

I came across those photo the other day you just don’t see enough builds of this car . You did a fantastic job

The revell willys is a very fine kit and you really hit it outa the park with the paint on these two

Now that’s one great kit bash project. A super useful for that AMT 51 Chevy kit

His info is in the black square on the second picture

I got these from chuck boener and they look great. I haven’t used them yet but his stuff is fantastic

That’s a great paint color match I sure wish mine came out that good i missed on the color blue. I’m with you these are really great kits .

I have been waiting to build this car for a long time. Thanks to joe Curtis at freemont we have the decals . A big thanks to round 2 for reissuing this fine kit for us . The headers were a little tricky, and the front axle is a parts box mix . I made the side trim from some small square styrene strip. A can of duplie color is the closest color blue I could come up with. These AMT AWB kits are really fun and easy to build and they capture the look. As for the magazine issue there’s no article for this car only a cover shot . Here’s the parts breakdown AMT CHEVY 2 Awb funny car AMT 65 CHEVELLE AWB FUNNY CAR : engine, back wheels, slicks , front tires, rear polar lights funny car any : injector hat parts box : front wheels , front shocks, radius rods 0.080 styrene rod : roll cage solder , 3/32 aluminum tubing: headers freemont resin : decals aluminum tubing and panino wire : front axle until next time thanks for looking, Mike

That’s a fantastic build plus you really nailed the evolution of the rail job . I feel the modeling world could use a new tool 2025 top fuel dragster

Both are totally awesome
