That was my first thought!! That's a pretty cool dollhouse behind it, too!

Thanks everybody for the great comments. There were times that I wasn't sure it would work but I guess it did! The ram setup was in JoHan's '63 and '64 Chryslers - hard to find. The 45 rpm record player comes from the JoHan 1963 Plymouth hardtop - not the USA Oldies version, the one with customizing parts. Those show up on Ebay pretty often.

Just thought it would be cool to bash a '32 Vicky with the Ala Kart so I built it. Someone else combined a '32 Vicky with the Ala Kart and it was pretty but I thought it might look better with a little attitude. The engine is the Kart's small block Dodge Hemi with a JoHan Chrysler ram induction setup added. The top is chopped with a forward rake, 1960 Plymouth steering wheel, eight ball shifter, interior re-done with a lot of styrene stock,op-art uphostelry, Fred Cady decals, etc. Most everything else came in one of the kits or the other. Hope you enjoy!

Here's the fins that I have.

That's a beauty! You've got a really good eye for bringing out the best in that car.

WOW! That looks just right!

This other thread provides a lot more information. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/?showtopic=53908

Very nice! I've liked '61 Fords for a very long time like since 1961.

Very interesting stuff that I never knew! My favorite versions are the one kitted by Monogram and the early version with the Deuce radiator shell which looks pretty much like what Aurora kitted. Some of the other versions can cause severe eyestrain.

There could be another major thread about all the '32 Ford kits!

I don't know why separate Ventura and Catalina versions of the '61 Poncho are needed but basically all of those subjects have been crying out to be kitted for a long time. The '65 Plymouth is one that I've been wanting. Besides making excellent kits, Moebius seems to have a keen sense of the marketplace.

Not an expert, but as I've heard it, the twin engines kind of make up for not running fuel and if you're running fuel there's no advantage to twin engines because the limiting factor is not enough traction instead of not enough power. I don't know how the times for a twin engined gas dragster compared to a fueler back in the day.

Great job! I've been wanting to build one of those for a long time so I should go view your workbench thread. That's one of the last great "manly man" race cars before the mid engine Lotus and its dainty kin took over completely a couple of years later.

I believe the Lindberg '34 Ford pickup (born as an AMT kit) has the T-Bird version of the 430 engine. Once again, not very detailed but I think it could be improved pretty easily.

I like Harry's version better. They're both beautiful cars but Harry's version shows some Jag heritage.

I was afraid of that. Well at least you're doing a great job with it! I approve.

I built one of those in 1961. You could always find good sales on year old 3 in1's - who wanted a year old model? Didn't do a very good job on it and don't know what ever happened to it. If anybody still has it now could you please return it to me? I promise to do better this time!

WOW! That's a beauty! For some reason, I've never considered building the roadster version of the '36 but I think you changed my mind.

It looks like a cool project but did I miss the Studebaker content?

Very IMPRESSIVE scratch building!!

I don't know what everybody's complaining about. I haven't found this car yet but I've found plenty of uglier cars!

I've never seen this before but there's one on Ebay right now if you gotta have it!

I agree with what's been said before...they're all fair game. Even a rare kit is just plastic waiting to be built. As far as will they actually get built...I used to think so!

Fabulous! One of my all time favorite cars and beautifully done.

WOW! I've never seen one built that well. Very cooool!
