This is cool. My 28 year old son is gonna love this as he owns a 2000 Z-28...in black on black!

Nice...styling is smooth!

Well Alan...it's a lot better than the piece of ###### I scratchbuilt!

Yes Al, that might work. At least you could keep messing with the bends till they were pretty close and then glue it in place!

It wouldn't qualify as a Gasser to run in any Gas class because the front end is way too high. Gas class rules call for the body to remain level, in spite of all these sky high front ends you see on "gasser" models. See the rules under "Body." You could get away with SOME added height in the front but not that much. Also, the engine crankshaft centerline was limited to be no more than 24" above the ground. In 1/25th scale that would be one inch. See "Engine." Has to have a hood. Also doesn't have any inner fenderwells...had to have them too with any fenderwell header openings being no more than 2" away from the header tubes. See "Fender Splash Pans." If you are really interested in building a "legal" gasser, here are the rulebook pages from a 1970 NHRA rulebook for the Gas classes.... I have the entire rulebook posted on my Fotki site here....http://public.fotki....nhra-rulebooks/ Hope this helps you! Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Dang Donn you're right..I don't remember...I even went back to my build thread on mine and don't see anything like that.

I don't have that kit. Is this the engine in the kit? If so I'm gonna have to get one just for that front timing cover. It's just what I need for my King Kong Anglia gasser as I'm not all that happy with the one I made...

Ditto!

That is SO cool! Have never seen the hydro modified in that manner...good job!

Boy that is really nice. Now if you could figger out a way to add the thin chrome trim around the bottom of the vinyl roof that would be a pretty cool finishing touch. Wish I knew how to accomplish that myself!

I got a kick out of the decal on the tailgate... "NHRA RECORD HOLDER". Must be the record for altitude!

Love it! The 56 has always been my favorite of the tri-fives.... I suppose probably because I owned one...

Great stuff man! Love 'em!

I too have no use for lowriders...but MAN!...that paint job you did is awesome! Wow......

I like it! And I like the little detail that you did correctly...the class designation! D/PS Good job man!

No SOHC engine in the Revell Anglia. It has an injected Olds engine....

Now that's a really well done model! Nice job.....

Love this project! Very similar to my Mooneyes project!

LMAO!!!! And hey...I am a PROUD Grampa!

Okay Donn me boy...since you love to bust on me for being ancient...I'm gonna bust on you cuz you ain't too far behind me. Did'ja notice that ya gots yer trunk decals on backwards on the 69 Z/28? Must be yer old age catchin' up with ya! (they're flipped front to rear) Aside from that senior moment though...they look great!

Confirm Mark... The only engine in the RPO Z-28 option was the 302. This was to make it under the 305 cu. inch displacement limit for the SCCA Trans-Am racing series of that time. The original prototype had a 283 but at the last minute it was decided to throw the 283 crank in the 327 block for a 4" bore and a 3" stroke. This gave a cu inch number of 302.4. Other engines were of course available in the Camaro but not under the RPO Z-28 order.

I would like one because I want to build a model of my Buddy's Monte that he races is the Super X class at my local track! My son and I kinda help out on the pit crew and we do a lot of the work on the car in my garage!

Another fine Deuce from the Deucemaster!

That looks really good! Nice detailing...esp the carb linkage! May I ask why you routed the positive battery cable directly from the battery into the passenger compartment?

Very nice! Love the drybrushing on the underside!
