“ BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 103 ED SCHARTMAN’S 1967 AIR LIFT RATTLER COMET FUNNY CAR

[M W Elky]

I built this by using the amt 67 comet body over the polar lights chassis. That’s it a nice and simple kit bash. All though if I were building this again I would extend the roll cage bars higher up which I might have to go back and redo . I did use a front spoiler from mpc’s 68 cougar funny car.Paint is tamyia and the decals came from slixx. Note the white pin stripe decals are super tricky to not break if I was doing this again I would start out by cutting them into 3 pieces.One of the best magazine covers ever dusk at OCIR’s tower of power . Until next time thanks for looking. Mike

Hey Mike, you are the "master of kit bashers", really nice job on this one! That cover brings back high school memories for me of being at OCIR in '69 and watching Jungle Jim rule the night. What great times those were! Sadly other than Pomona all the great strips of my childhood in So. Cal are gone, replaced by container yards, strip malls,  and industrial parks ..... 😢

One of these days you need to line up all your drag car builds (with or without mag covers) and take and post a few shots for me and your other fans here, it would make for an amazing miniature museum!
