Holy Grail

[Vettegasser]

Well I’ve hunted this kit forever. Found it advertised as an amt 25 T. It’s the Tom Daniel. SWEETEE.  Gonna be a long term project. Need to find som pretty rare parts to rebuild it.  Front wheels and blower scoop. Blower is in the monogram 55   Super excited to finally have it again

Good luck with the build Jimmy. That's one of my favorite TD kits. Love the box art.

As for wheels, I'd also look at the ones in the "Dragon Wagon" re=released a few years ago as the "Circus Wagon". They look ,if not identical, pretty close to me.

Here's a pic form "show rod rally" website, if you like I can take a pic of the wheels in my unbuilt example also.

 

I want to add, I did not build this, Don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to take credit for someone else's work.

Jimmy what say we get you in business?!  
None of it is perfect but it’s free if ya want it.  Please PM me your address and I’ll get it sailing your way.  Do you need the supercharger too? If so, I probably have it.  My late friends wife gave me a bunch of my buddies all model car stuff, including a box of nothing but forced induction parts. He did not collect a lot of 1/24 scale though, so I’m not sure I have the exact supercharger but then again…. Wait for the next picture.

Also, I just found you a much better condition injector than the one seen in these pictures. The chrome is much better.

I'm glad someone was able to help him out, especially the wheels. The people are what make this hobby great!

That is awesome.  The best friends I have I met thru building models. Joining this forum has been an enjoyable experience. I’ve had a lot of people help me that don’t even know me. We make u a great group of people.

Jimmy I PMed you but I’ll mention it here too.  Will get them shipped either tomorrow or Monday at the latest.  I can’t find the exact supercharger from the Monogram 55 so I’m including one from my friend Al’s box of blower parts that seems to be 1/24.  Hope it helps.  Also I found two injector hats that have the same pattern ribs on top and each have 4 ports but one is considerably smaller than the other. I never owned a “Seeetee” so I don’t know which came with it but knowing Tom Daniel it’s probably the bigger one!  I will send you both.
 And a shoutout to Steve Milberry who mentioned the wheels also came with “Circus Wagon”.  That’s what helped me find them as I bought  a built up Wagon ( well..the front half of one!) at a swap meet early this year.  So thanks Steve!  Happy Holidays and Happy Building my brothers.
