magicmustang Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Was in bad shape after I got it off Ebay. Slicks had eaten wheels and damaged body. Replaced wheels, sanded off damage, swapped engines (put a Hemi in it), painted and decaled in markings as run in England in 1964. Fun rescue. Edited December 3, 2020 by magicmustang 1
alan barton Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Nice job Gerald, on a rather unknown version of this car. I have been studying Tony Nancy's cars for decades now with intentions of building as many as I can - I have five done at the moment. I got to meet the great man and speak to him for about two hours in his shop in January 1997 and you couldn't meet a nicer, more obliging guy. He gave me an old copy of his autobiography and it includes a photo of this car without front sheetmetal and I am assuming with a longer wheelbase., giving us three variations that could be built from the Revell kit - the original with the Wedge engine, your blue version with the Hemi and a longer blue version sans front sheetmetal., A great model of a great car! Cheers Alan

Rocking Rodney Rat Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 That pic of Tony Nancy above looks like me may be thinking "I wonder if I could stuff a Hemi in that Mini???" -RRR
High octane Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Very nice build on that dragster Gerald.
