  1. Unfortunately, no. Only the Mooneyes Dragster is a faithful reproduction, other than the original decals. The Scarlet Screamer has a Small Block Chevy engine, the upcoming Keeler's Kustoms Kent Fuller Dragster has a blown Pontiac engine. The Sanitary T Bucket has a blown Hemi engine, the upcoming Keeler's Kustoms Comp T Roadster has a blown FE 427 Ford engine. (I believe the blown Hemi from the Keeler's Kustoms Skorpion '53 Studebaker Funny Car may be adapted to accurately depict the Sanitary T Bucket) The injected Buick Nailhead engine in the Fumin' Fiat has been replaced with the blown FE 427 Ford and 6-2bbl carb Cadillaic engines in the Keeler's Kustoms Yellow Fever Fiat. I believe that the Thunder Charger may be replicated by kitbashing the Dragmaster chassis from Mooneyes with the blown Hemi from the Skorpion. Future release of the Bantam in the Keeler's Kustoms series remains to be seen. Anyone know what the second engines in the Keeler's Kustoms Kent Fuller Dragster and Comp T Roadster will be?
  2. Looking forward to buying one of these and kitbashing the '66 Hurst Hemi Under Glass chassis and drive train into the '69 body to replicate the '69 Hurst Hemi Under Glass. All I gotta do now is find decals...
  3. That Jan & Dean song has been in loop mode in my brain since I first saw the box art pics in the announcement last Saturday evening. I'll be in for at least 3 of the AWB car and 3 of the Super Stock 990s (and 1 will DEFINITELY be RED!...) It's the little old lady from Pasadena....
  4. Round2 says there was a new production run and these kits should be available sometime in June.
  5. I wonder if #2's box art is Moebius' interpretation of the Little Old Lady from Pasadena's house...
  6. I agree whole-heartedly, Luc. This car looks MUCH better with the American Torque Thrust wheels. Luckily, I have some available sets in my Revell '32 Ford kit stash. My Mom had a blue and white '57 Del Rio 2-Door Ranch Wagon with a T-Bird 312 4bbl back in the early 60's. I plan to build a tribute to that car with this kit.
  7. Looking at the proposed box art, the Keeler's Kustoms Kent Fuller Dragster kit may include a Blown Pontiac 421 engine. IMNSHO, this is much better choice by Atlantis then the 6-carb Cadillac engine shown in previous pictures of the prototype kit. However, since the Keeler's Kustoms releases include 2 engines, the kit may contain both.
  8. The '57 Ford to be released by Revell in 2024 is a street hot hod version of the Del Rio Ranch Wagon. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-14546-57-ford-del-rio-ranch-wagon--1527349
  9. I'm in the process of building 3 of these kits. The first is '70 Apollo White, the other 2 are '69 Trumpet Gold and '71 Platinum Mist. Even though the '70 GSX was only offered in Apollo White and Saturn Yellow, these are my "if this car was offered in other colors, what would I choose?" preferences that match the black and red stripes.
