Scuderia

Ford Thunderbirds were raising a stir in Nascar and the folks at GM didn't like it. The curvy body and slightly-bubbled rear window of the 'Bird was making it more than competitive, especially at the Superspeedways. The answer was to modify the Monte Carlo, and Grand Prix with VERY-bubbled rear window, and produce a certain amount for the public, for homologation. What ensued was an exciting time in Nascar and produced some fun street cars. The Monte was open box when I bought it and took about two years to piece it together thanks to a couple good folks here, thank you. The 'Bird depicted is the '87 Turbo Coupe. Both Revell/Monogram. So not to clutter too much more photos of each in my Fotki.

Hey Jon that BMW is nice, wouldn't mind one of those. Just got back from the Lobby.

mine seemed to have lots of those 68 darts too. I wasn't that cised to buy it tho

You slayed the beast there completely. Smashing

Thats super cool, Do you recall where you got those hangers? I don't think i've seen a style like that (granted i don't buy hangars often lol)

i'm so shocked they didn't use the C5 chassis. Real shame that 6 body is slick as heck. you did well with those good job.

Thats pretty sweet i must say i like this one. Did you use a factory kit and convert it to drag?

Just left Mikes and couldn't find anything using the coupon on. aisle was a mess again too

The new style with the kiddie cap has the applicator brush built in the cap too, In case you're wondering about that aspect also.

Maybe it's their interpretation of "Super Pursuit Mode"

What Jon said lol.

Lookin' good. I've only recently discovered this kit and added to my list, you really did a bang up job on it.

I never thought of that, but def. will keep in mind. Good stuff.

That's gorgeous stuff. I love this car and you're doin it well

Right on sound good thanks.

Thats feisty right there. I like that alot. You did awesome with that one.

did u shave the raised areas down? i didn't think the kit decal would fit on there flush

Nice variety of subject matter, good stuff and nicely done. welcome

the one i have thru the 14th is 40% off... Nice upgrade.

Yeah they prolly didn't want them to be too deep on the doors, fuel filler etc. for drag. Looks like its ready to pounce. Love this thing. On your intake is that decal on the FERRARI or did u paint that silver on it? I'm still slowly piecing mine together.

That's so awesome!! what brand is that kit again?

Yeah I saw that last nite in my searching jsut curious if the Kit body was close enough not to need to get the kit. Price is right tho so i'll prolly just order it from the sounds of it.

I like your ideas here. I was never good with wood or blueprints lol. Sorry to hear bout your pops not wantin to support your creativity. I'm sure I have an unstarted fresh kit around i'd donate if your interested.

I didn't see anything in the search as far as this goes, but have any of you used a Revell or AMT Torino Talladega to make one of these. I saw in a google search a guy offering a transkit of sorts but I'm curious how close the Talladega kits are body-wise to the Merc...

haha yeah i can imagine. it'd b tough i need a new shelf for mine
