Rocking Rodney Rat Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 This build was inspired by a Jeff Allison drawing used as the T-shirt art for one of the Billetproof shows a few years ago. -body is from the recent Revell roadster issue (smooth cowl). -frame is from the AMT Phantom Vickie [sic] -engine is from the MPC Ohio George Montgomery (RIP) Malco Gasser Mustang. -other bits and pieces from the parts boxes. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Beautiful smooth paint and the decal sponsors decals look like a sign painter did them. Like the way you reshaped the firewall and notched it for the air scoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Beautiful roadster, love the SOHC between the rails. Very clean and well detailed. However, it is not an A/G car, with the blown SOHC and other modifications it should run AA/A which designates supercharged altered. Still a beautiful build.

Nitro330 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 This is super cool. What a great build. Love the work on the body like the little cut outs for the headers and the scoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Great job R3! Guys, study the engine on this one....it's a great example of what some extra effort with paint detailing can do to lend an authentic look to a model; especially an open hood drag racer. And did did you notice the cutaway for the headers at the bottom of the cowl and around the scoop along the top of the cowl, and the added molding that surrounds both? So, so cool...!
