Casey Luna "FORD" Sprint Car

[Reeves Racing]

I got kick out of this kit.... a small block Chevy in a "Ford" race car. I can hear the marketing guys at Monogram now "Oh it's okay... nobody will notice."

Cool build !

Reminds me of a recent build of mine with Goodyears on the chassis & Bridgstone logos on the body. No one has called me out on it yet.

somewhere at some point there was an article in SAE on "correcting" the engine issue in this kit using some Ford Nascar parts. it's quite possible that Drew Hierwarter wrote that too.

very cool build, small block Ford or not!

I did too notice and surgicly removed the "Also Ran" and placed in a pile . I then stole another 1/24 real Fo Mo Co powerplant . There were a couple of other issues to finish this one . You made it just right . Thank you for sharing

Nice looking sprint car! I've always liked that one.

If it'll make ya feel any better, the Revell SCCA Trans Am Camaros have Ford engines with Chevy valve covers!

This is true. It was a number of years ago. The basic engine came from a Monogram NASCAR Ford kit.

here's a photo of the model.

Nice job on the sprint car. My dad had that kit, but he never finished it.

It's amazing how much they re-used from the 80's IMSA Mustang kit for the Camaro.

The car actually ran both motors.
