    Great save on that body.  I too have a spare Hornet sedan body as well as a set of decals I got off eBay.  My plan involves building it the way Jo-Han would have done it had they made a kit.  

    Why they made them as funny cars is a mystery, as nobody ever ran a Hornet funny car.  They probably just wanted to get more use out of that chassis.  I'd like to find a beat-up Hornet hatchback body, I think it would make a neat looking funny car if stretched and modified like other funny car bodies were.

    The '50 convertible includes nearly all of the custom parts from the original issue.  Chopped windshield, two custom front end extensions (both with quad headlamps, one with canted lights), another more basic front pan and grille surround, custom taillight pods, rear pan, rear license plate pod, and multiple sets of grilles and chrome bumpers.  Not included from the original issue are: fender skirts, chopped Victoria roof, chopped Carson top (it was modified into a half top which is in the kit), fender extensions to provide hooded stock headlamps, custom wheel covers, rear fins, and a couple other parts.  Speed equipment consists of finned heads and a dual carb intake, which should drop onto the '49 block (which has no axle hole).  The '50 convertible also has a parallel leaf raised front axle setup.

    What  kit Are you talking about With parallel leaf raised front axel setup. Mine dont. mine is dated 2006
