Well, my memory is a little fuzzy but I do remember the AMT Novacaine kit but fuzzy if it was the funny car kit or the Nova SS Pro Stock kit? No idea on the funny car kit but it could be the AMT '69 or is that '68? kit with the Pro Stock option and IF I'am right, it used the stock frame from the stock and race version kit and its parts. I notice you mention, separate front fenders? The AMT stock/pro stock kit came with separate front fenders and 2 hoods was also released as the "Old Pro" race car Nova kit. What year does the body look like? a '69? early or later than a '69?

If it was the Street Freaks kit ( Model King did re-release this kit about 2 years ago), it would be the "Rat Packer" or "Twister" '64? Chevy ll kit frame which will fit on just about any car kit with some work. Most of those street Freak kits all shared the same custom frame and engines. I be glad to help if I can. Thanks

Some other clues might help me get unfuzzy! A pic of the stuff, body or is it a normal wheelbase body that looks stock?

Been a while since I built one, but I am pretty sure it is the one from the original "Funny Hugger" kit. I have a copy of the instruction sheet scanned and I can email to you. Check your private messages.............RatPack................

This was actually before the OLD PRO kit,thats whay it's so hard to come by,I thought I was told I could use another chassis from one of the reissued Model king funny car kits but don't remember which one..If it is the original Funny hugger guess I'm screwed again as that chassis is not an easy find in good shape built and a bit pricey on Ebay most of the time................

Randy, after doing some comparisons it is actually the Funny Hugger II kit which had the 1-pc. chassis like the Model King Camaro. The instructions are almost the same. So now that makes an easy find!!!!..............RatPack................
