This magazine must be hard to come by as it’s the only issue I’ve ever seen. As for the funny car it’s built with a revell 1968 charger body with the following modifications :

filled grill shell

rear spoiler that is made from a strip of styrene, glue , and body filler 

the paint is a rattle can fade done with testors lacquer 

decals are from slixx 

the back window is cut from a thin sheet of blue plastic 

the chassis and interior tin came from the polar lights barracuda kit with the following modifications:

the front axle mount is moved back in the chassis 

the engine assembly is sidled forward 

the upward sweep is cut off the headers 

the injector cover on the engine cover tin was cut out , and replaced with a cover cut from the spare cover found in the mpc gto funny car

the rear crager wheels came from amt’s old pro nova kit

enjoy and thanks for looking, mike

Great build. This is one of my favorite Funny Cars. I saw him race at US 30.  The paint jobs on his cars blew me away.
