It was an old can of Testors candy apple red. A really thin coat over metallic silver.

Had this sitting in my stash for years. It was the only kit my mom ever bought me. I was honored and told her I would make it into something special. When I opened the box later I was dismayed. The Monogram kit was and to this day THE worst kit I had ever seen. The flashing was completely out of control and pieces such as the windshield didn't fit. So it sat and sat. My mom passed before I touched it. Guilt was my motivation to build it. It is a true Frankenstein with bits and pieces from so many kits I lost track. Started out with a yellow paint job. I was thinking of the Popular Hot Roding magazine project car "project X" if I remember correctly but the yellow has too much green in it so I started over. Needless to say this one is special to me.

You nailed that paint job!! -
Awesome build!! Definite cool factor. Hard to beat a tri 5 with a straight axle!!
-
Awesome presentation!! Is that you singing the CCR tune?

Yeah, there's been some good ones. Barry Seltzer, Motown Shaker, Jungle etc....

It's a couple coats of Testors gloss custom red over a coat of Testors metallic silver. Honestly, I don't think my phone captured the true shade.

Build a better: Mongoose Carefree Duster funny car

Awesome job, well done!! -
Thank you for the kind words. I have been a Mr. Norm fan since the mid 60's! One of the true pioneers of funny cars. First saw his cars race at Lions in 67. Always a thrill to watch em run.

Had this kit gifted to me years ago with no desire to build it, so it sat. Not a fan of modern funny cars. But going through my decals box I spotted the Norm decals and instantly knew what to do with them. This was the Moon Eyes, Jim Dunn car and was a really nice kit!! It is one of a few box stock kits I have made and quite enjoyed it!

I grew up going to the So Cal drag strips in the 60's & 70's. The Pisano Bros were always a favorite of mine starting with their 68 Corvair funny. I got to examine close up in the pits all their early race cars. They always had a class act. This was the Green Elephant kit. Parts of the kit went together nicely but others, such as the roll cage didn't line up so well. I also had issues with the hose tubing. Would love to make this kit with a Camaro body.
