Nice work!! Wish someone would reissue!

Good start.......It was a IMC kit and thus a little tough build. The molds are now listed as MIA and we may never see it again.......you got a good deal....I have been looking for one myself.

LOVE IT!!!! A great build of a car from my favorite era. I have a Iritani Shadow I need to build!

Gofer Racing Decals has a Gasser sheet with classes in two colors. Available direct and from dealers like Model Round-up.

Strange as it sounds the JoHan 71 Mustang funny car hood is an exact fit. You have to trim it from the body but is great once cleaned up.

Super nice clean build!!

Very slick build. Perfect stance and clean build.

GREAT WORK!!!!! I love those turbine era trucks.....seems everyone had one!

Cool idea......outside the box!

Nice work!

I like what you created with the updated body. The vintage MPC Vega kit is a decent model of the pavement modifieds of the 1970's through mid 1980's. I saw these cars run a Metrolina in Charlotte and Bowman Gray. The AMT Toby Tobias models are more like the dirt mods.

That is not my neighbors car but is the exact same as his. As stated 100% bone stock....I remember when he bought it.....I fell for it and have wanted one since.

Cool build!!!!! I rode cross country twice in a 'Club Wagon' version....decent vehicle for it's day.

WOW...nice detail!

I had a buddy that was in the offset printing biz. I'd help out at times......I'd always grab a few plates. That was the 1980's and I know burning big plates is long gone. You may want to check the metal craft area of Hobby Lobby....I bought some sheet stock there in the past.

Tooling gone long ago.....Atlantis will not tool a new version.

looks pretty good......I wanted a real one back in the day....a neighbor had a black sport version......

I heard about the Round2 display on a SciFi forum a few weeks ago. Hunted a number of WalMarts and found nothing. Then while traveling in Weston WV I found the merchandiser. Just OK prices....got a Space 1999 HAWK for $20...best deal....

Very nice clean work........ I have to tell a story about my brothers real VW pick up he drove to school at OSU......the car had a bad water leak around the passenger door. It stayed wet on the passenger floor. One day my brother picked up a big bag of bird seed for our Mom. He didn't realize the bird seed had a small tear.....and seed spilled out. Weeks later he came by to pick me up and go out.....he had a beautiful green field of wild grasses and flowers growing on the passenger floor!! Not what VW had in mind !!

Very cool!!!

Cool Big Bird!!!

AM designed a roadster body and started tooling.......but it never made it to test shot stage.....Oh the plans AM had for this and other all new tools.....

You still made it look good!!! As I commented on the build thread there are two versions of the kit......the 2nd version had some refinements.....sounds like you got a 1st version maybe. Still a build I'd be happy to show!!

WOW WOW!!! I have never seen the 6 wheeler run without side pods or cowl!!!! Goes to show how little protection those guys had......Patrick had more protection sitting in an apple crate!!! thx

The death of the Tyrrell 6 wheeler had as much to do with the F1 rules as anything. Other F1 car builders started playing with different combos of 6 wheels. Four small wheel/tires in the rear etc. F1 thought this was going to far and made a rule 'Four wheels max and no more than any 2 in a single line....thus making the traditional layout the only option. Ken would have made the 6 wheeler a big winner if aloud. thx
