M W Elky Posted June 1 Posted June 1 This is a kit bash with most of the parts coming from the amt 66 nova pro street kit with body mods to the rear wheel wells moving them forward . Most of the other parts are from the Chevy 2 funny car . I had been wanting to build this for quite some time then finally the decals became available and game on . The body took me 3 paint jobs to get it to look this good . Here’s the breakdown AMT PRO STREET NOVA : body , chassis, interior AMT CHEVY 2 FUNNY CAR : engine , front leaf springs & axle & wheels. Chute PARTS BOX : rear wheels, slicks , front tires SCRATCH BUILT: roll cage 0.080 styrene rod TAMYIA: Metalic green CHUCK BOENER: decals until next time thanks for looking Mike 8
diggerguy Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Nice ! I saw Schroeder race many times after he moved to Oregon from LA. He was a regular at Woodburn, taking on newer flip top FC's, altereds, dragsters. Pretty much anything as was the style of the times. He was a real racer with nitro in his blood! I waited for nearly 50 years for the parts and decals to build this car. I remember the Bad Bossa Nova, The Bloomin' Bullet, the Hairy Canary, and a bunch of local NW cars duking it out one hot Sunday in 67 ( I think ) at Woodburn. GREAT DAYS!
