That’s a sweet little dragster I love the tach , and the flathead is Dyno mite .

Thanks when you look closely the white side decals are all pieced together of course it was the only set I had , and there discontinued

For this I used the Revell Jungle Jim kit with testors lacquer and slixx decals . A word to the wise this decal sheet was fall apart in the water fragile. I did use the injector and injector scoop from the amt Wynn’s charger which required trimming the interior tin and windshield to fit . There’s something about the color combination with the Vega body that does it for me . I can remember seeing a photo of this car when I was five, and I guess I could really relate because our family ride was a 72 Vega burnt orange with a black vinyl top hatch back . Until next time thanks for looking, Mike

I used the AMT kit with SMP decals. For the paint it’s testors red form the rattle can . I did the Vinyl top with krylon semi gloss black spraying from twice the normal distance to get a slight orange peel texture I think it came out good. The stinger hood is a resin eBay find , and the RS grill is a resin part that I made . I still have to add the drive shaft and tie rod once the paint dries. The crager S/S mags are from the old pro nova . The slicks are your basic hollow AMT M&H’s . The big block engine was languishing in my parts box I made the headers from solder and aluminum tubing. Until next time thanks for looking. Mike

That’s a fine looking mopar great work on the engine bay details especially the carbs and wiring harness. Oh those wheels are awesome

I wonder if they still have a file of the art work?

Yes very interested I have a lot of potential trading material send me a personal email at Michael.elky234@gmail.com

I would use the ford LN8000 race car hauler and the coke C 600 stake body . I already have the two axle trailers

I would really like to but aside from the rough cost of nearly $200.- bucks for kits and supplies plus no present room to display . Not to even thinking about the build time . Their our no immediate plans to. I should probably think about purchasing the kits for that build while they are readily available.

I just finished the paint jobs . It’s perfect fall dry weather painting days here.

Here’s a couple pictures of a Willy’s pickup in my neighborhood the wheels are centered in the wheel wells. This truck has a small block Chevy with a tunnel ram and is street driven eighborhood

Yeah the pin stripes really suck to put on I clear coated over them before I put the rest of the decals on. I forgot l had to shackle the rear spring mounts about even with the bottom of the gas tank. Good luck on your build

I started with the amt 1968 Camaro. I cut the hood scoop off the grumpy’s Vega the front wheels are from the double dragster kit the rear s/s are from the old pro nova with amt slicks from the parts box .the headers are out of the pro street 1966 nova. The body is testors revering red lacquer with white enamel on the hood . The decals are from slixx. The pin stripe decals are really tough to get on with out them folding over on them selves. For a rather simple kit it came out good. Until next time thanks for looking, Mike

I built this in the early 90’s from the amt/ertl reissue using pro stock parts that were available at the time. The rear, shifter, seats,and slicks all came from the johan Sox & Martin cuda kit . While the tunnel ram and crager ss wheels were taken from the old pro nova . The paint is good old testors enamel with Fred cady decals along with various kit decals . The grump lump on the hood was made from sheet styrene. I would like to build a more detailed version using the muller era camaro with slixx decals but I doubt I’ll ever get around to it as I’ve got about a hundred kits ahead of it with more on the way. Plus this one has stood the test of time and still looks great on the shelf. Until next time thanks for looking. Mike

The cricket comes to mind even Sox & Martin had one

This is so cool I need to get them just for the box art alone

Pretty neat I would have never have thought

Looks awesome you put that body to good use

This looks great Is this made from the original Shirley revell kit? She is one tough customer I got to see her in a match race against none other than big daddy don garlits at Englishtown. Talk about two hard racers they had it on kill every round. Thanks for bringing back some great memories

Wow that’s a crazy amount of detail it looks amazing. What scale is it?

They might do it like they did with the f-100’s different years with different options.

That’s what I was hoping for as a stock version does nothing for me. However I’d be in for about five of these

That paint job is fantastic and not easy to accomplish. Those custom decals look spot on to me. Did the cost a small fortune? Do you provide them reference photos and they size them to scale?

I would highly recommend it although we’re probably increasing the demand for these charger snap kits. I wonder if Atlantis has the tooling.

Jeff thanks for the picture that’s exactly what I have mind .
