This is the sought after mpc gapp & roush kit . The paint is testors metallic blue enamel. With replacement decals from chuck bohner . This is a really nice building kit, and a pretty accurate 70’s era pro stock . It would also lend itself to some advanced detailing . It would be really nice if round 2 reissued this one so that every one can get them for a reasonable cost. Until next time thanks for looking ?

Hi John I didn’t think the trumpeter kit was to bad as it worked out for this project. This was the only trumpeter kit I’ve ever had. I did use the trumpeter chassis plate. In my opinion the rear wheels are a little too far back in the wheel opening. Thanks for the congrats . That write up was a really great surprise for me.

One of my all time favorite Sox & Martin cars well done ?

Gorgeous paint nice work

There are some great combinations here. If I had to pick a favorite it’s the Java express

The paint on that 68 Shelby is just stunning well done

Very cool stuff here you have a great imagination

They are all so impressive, but that big foot truck is my favorite. I can remember when it stopped at are local ford dealership. They unloaded it off the trailer changed the wheels, and crushed some cars. It was just awesome.

They all look great however that VW camper is really something. We had VW vans in our family business to deliver flowers in when I was a kid .??

These c-1 corvette kits can be built as so many different kinds of racers especially drag cars . The stance looks great and I really like the color and the grills cut out. It looks perfect

It came out great ? I did the same thing with a $5.00 glue bomb ?

This was built from the revell jungle Jim kit . The wheels were left overs from a polar lights funny car . The white paint is topped with a heavy coat of pearl clear. The decals came from woopiekat , and at first glance looked a little intimidating. However they went on very nicely and fit perfectly. His decals are definitely missed as he had such great subject matter and great quality . Until next time thanks for looking ?, Mike

WOW this is a perfect kit bashing project. It has me inspired to use chassis under an early corvette body. MPC kitted this chassis with a mid 70’s corvette body, and called it the vette gasser

I see a couple of demons and some Mach one funny cars in my future , and how can I resist the Ford pickups . Round 2 has really stepped it up , and along with the awb mopars Ford pickups, and the possibility of a maverick from Mobius . It may just might be another golden era in car modeling. Oh and having the vintage style box art is just the icing on the cake.

Thanks getting into print was such huge surprise for me . I hope it’s inspirational to everyone

I started out with the Trumpeter 1964 falcon kit and kit bashed it with revell’s iconic thunderbolt kit . The light blue paint job is from a short cut can of Krylon. The decals were from scale modeling by Chris who sadly is no longer with us as he made some great stuff. The chrome front steel wheels are from the revell 49 mercury. The inboard air duct besill’s were cut out of the thunderbolt grille. The thunderbolt also gave up its complete drivetrain. This was a very rewarding build of an iconic Phil Bonner drag car . Until next time thanks for looking, ? Mike

Yeah I have the decals to do the silver and black car of Hubert Platt , but I’m so not looking forward to that side trim again . Be tween the wheel well’s is made up of 3 pieces. I’ve built another 66 FAIRLANE and used the headers from the amt 69 Torino they worked ok

These T-birds make sweet Gassers it looks so fine

Nicely done one of the best slingshot dragster kits of all time

Nice work the paint looks great. This is a really fun and easy kit to build

Really nice looking fiat it’s inspiring me to build one or four

Nice looking job on this great funny car kit

You better hope they sell a lot of 69’s

I’m with you all the way on a 62 galaxie hardtop or sedan would be most welcome However it should be a full kit with the same engine chassis detail that comes with the custom version of the 60 star liner . Add a pair of pie curst slicks tube headers. They should package it in the same type of box art as the super stock kits like the Dyno don belair , and decals the likes of Phil Bonner , jake king , or Tasca , or others. This would be a great selling kit opportunity round 2 . I know I’d be in for a dozen

This is the fantastic mpc blue max funny car kit . The color is testors light blue enamel topped with slixx decals cut to fit the mpc body. Until next time thanks for looking ?. Mike
