Do you ever look at a kit that is so well done, you don't even want to attempt it. Its a rare emotion for me, but this is so beyond my abilities, I see this kit staying sealed. Mercy this is beautiful. Carl Casper would be thrilled.

Just saw this.....this is a holy grail kit for me, built better than I could ever hope for. Absolutely amazing work.

First time I've seen this post. Also the first time I've seen this brick actually look like a race car. Great work.

I love this mock up. Any info on the forks?

As badly contorted some rat rods are, it might be the first time that kit has been issued when it has been somewhat accurate.

Those look like museum display cases. There is absolutely no reason not to display those in the living room. Even my wife would go for those. I'd like to find a US source.

My first thought was "that looks right." High compliment in my book. Care to share how you made the cowl covering? Mike

Made me smile! I appreciate it.

Stock wheels and tires? I could use those for a couple of projects.

Looks very sweet! Can you share what tools you have such as milling machine and lathe? Clayton Harris ran a narrow rear end dragster in the mid 70's. I don't remember how well it ran.

Is this the SMER kit or the Revival kit? Either way, it looks great.

Some magazines still have value. I recently lost my Rodders Journals and Hot Rod Deluxe. Those are still somewhat in demand. A lot of value has to do with the title. Some magazines such as Hot Rod were very common in the early seventies with circulations near 250,000 (they claimed it on their cover). Others like Drag Racing USA had runs much lower. Curious thing, I am a paper guy. I don't know when I finally move back into my hobby room if I will move my magazine collection or not. It used to take up six large four drawer file cabinets. Of course, a lot depends on what they smell like.

Holy Cow Batman......my post was from April 2008! Must be Halloween cause this is bringing up the dead!

Wonderful build. Wonder if Chrysler will ever return to Nascar?

I miss Alan...... Great build, looks near perfect!

I would avoid this kit like the plague knowing its origins. Your build has changed that perception. VERY nice, very clean build. I'll have to look for it. Mike

I wonder if these will be in the clearance bin at Big Lots or Ollies first. Yawn........ Time to go back to sleep.

So besides the one kit mentioned I have no interest in, any idea what the other one will be?

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite builders.

I'd love to have the Black Force. It would be cool to have the Ram Blur also.

This is cool!

Best use of a Citation I've seen.

Did Revell ever announce the chosen kits? Seems to be taking a long time to choose the two wrong kits.

It may be your first effort at a belly tanker, but it is a great job.

Rear engined funny cars are illegal in the NHRA. There wasn't a rule prohibiting them until about twenty years when some guy named Force was talking about building one.
