That is so ugly it's beautiful. Nice job.

Here is my contribution to this thread. All of these were built over 30 years ago.

You have the Snake decals? I sure could use them. KJ

Someone on these forums gave me this link http://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/instruction_sheetsh/instruction_sheets/monogram-3/monogram-the-snake-/zimg107.html to some Snake decals. I've found someone who will clean up this image and reproduce them for me. My question is, is this image the correct size that I need or will it have to be resized and if so, to what dimensions.

The last pic looks like one of the race cars built out of old WW2 drop tanks.

Thanks highway. I didn't pay enough attention it seems.

Yep, thats her. Now, to find those decals....lol.

I should have also stated that underneath the blue, that I brushed on, the body is molded yellow. I'm sure now it's the Snake F/C. Now to get to work. Where oh where do I start? Edit: And I just found a thread that states the decals for this yellow car are not in production. That's going to make it tough. :-)

Thanks to everyone who replied. I thought it might have been the old Snake kit as my brother and I had them all. I just couldn't remember it having the blue windshield, which now seems sort of strange. I was tempted to re-decal it into something else but I think I'll stick with the original now. Thanks again, KJ

I've had this for ever. Not sure what it was right out of the box. Please notice the windshield is blue, yes blue. Thanks for any input.

As a native Hoosier I'm happy to say I was there when all the turbines ran at Indy. This one, by far, is my favorite. Thanks for a great build. Sure brings back memories.

Finally, someone in my area. I'm in Jacksonville.

One of my favorite cars. Thanks for the build, It sure brings back a lot of memories.

WOW...I had a 69 too. Green with a black vinyl top. 5 spoke wheels. The spokes were black and the wheel bead was chrome. I miss that ole car.

McQueen would be proud.

High expectations can be a bummer. ;-) But check now.

My brother visited DSR this week and posted a few pix on his Facebook site. My brother is a sales manager at a dealership in Plainfield Indiana and sold a vehicle to one of the team members. He was invited to tour the shop. He picked up some hats and t-shirts, but all I got was a lousy Facebook poke. :-) Thanks to the guys at DSR. KJ

Excellent work.

Boy does that bring back boyhood memories. I loved that paintjob.

My 69 Mustang just rolled over in it's grave.

And if anyone can help with locating decals I would appreciate it. I've checked over at Slixx only to come up empty with a search and an internet search doesn't show anything either. Thanks. KJ

That is a great looking piece of work. But I was under the impression, that the body IS the chassis of the car.

A few weeks ago I posted a picture of a box full of models that I recently found. I've finally decided on which one to start rehabbing. I found a blue Plymouth Duster funny car that seemed to have most of the part still attached, well, at least they were in the box. I couldn't for the life of me remember what it had been before that ugly blue paint and flame decals were added. Wow, sorry for the poor picture quality. Also, the blue tint windows have me a bit stumped. I don't remember 'Snake' having those. Even on the model. But then again, they say memory is the first to go. I removed the decals, well, most of them anyway, and began sanding the rough spots on the body when suddenly, the original body began to show thru in it's yellow color. This has to be my old Monogram Don "The Snake" Prudhomme funny car. So, I will be working to transform this blue beast back into one my favorite car/driver combo's that remind me of years of sitting in the stands at Indianapolis Raceway Park.

There are other forums?

I would agree with the Indy Colts, but lets make the Mustang a GT500 please. And thankfully the Dodge Colt is not produced anymore. But, since they are alot like the car, I have to chime in with the Indiana Pacers = Pacer...??
