“ BUILDING THE COVERS “ vol # 110 THE JUNGLE JIM 1969 NOVA / THE FARMER ARENIE BESWICK ‘ S 1969 SUPER JUDGE G.T.O FUNNY CARS

M W Elky · July 14

I built these 2 in different eras over my building career. The Jungle Jim nova was started with an early 90’s issue of the AMT old pro Nova body with a stretched front end . The first paint job came out really nice but it was way too dark . I originally used the chassis from the johan challenger as it was readable available at the time . From there it sat on the shelf as I took a 15 year hiatus from model building at around this time I decided to finish it I started by sanding down the body for a fresh coat of pearl white topped by clear blue with slixx decals . Also at this time I replaced the chassis with one from a polar lights kit . I added big block Chevy heads and valve covers. Unfortunately the new paint job developed cracks in the clear blue paint however I just decided to leave it alone. The Arenie Beswick Super Judge funny car is the MPC reissue built box stock with the swap out for dasiy rear wheels . Until next time thanks for looking , Mike
