I hope this is cool with the Moderators! It shouldn't be a problem, since the publication it's from is the long, long defunct Car Model Magazine. For those of you interested in building Revell's Hawaiian FC, these resources should help you, tremendously. I used to have it available through a website, but, since it's no longer online, I thought I'd share it, here. Hope some of you can use it! Obviously, some of this stuff applies to dragsters and altereds, as well. There is obviously the color scan, but, also beneath that is the PDF file of Jim Keeler's entire article. SnakePit.pdf

In mid-March, I will be leaving Minnesota after almost 14 years, and returning home to Colorado. As my time here dwindles, I picked up Revell's '34 coupe snapper, determined to finish something...anything, before I go. Just a few of the modifications I've made include a scratchbuilt rear spring, a front axle from Revell's old Model A Pickup kit, aluminum door panels, firewall, dash and seat made from .005" aluminum flashing (GREAT stuff! Especially after its been sanded free of its plastic coating, and annealed.). The spindles are scratched from Evergreen channel, strip and rod. Front wheels are from a Revell Thunderbolt kit, rears from an old AMT Deuce. Shocks are aluminum tubing with mounts (and tie rod ends) made of HO scale handrail stanchions. Orange paint is Krylon, directly from the can. It's not my best work, but, I am really burning it at both ends, trying to finish it before I am packed and on the road! Comments welcome. Oh, yeah--this complies with NHRA rules for a modified coupe in either 1959 or 1960.
