regular guy Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) modeler's Fact Sheet: Copyright: 2008 Round 2 LLC Color Molded In: White Number of Parts: N/A Versions or Ways To Build In This Reissue:1 stock i got this about a year ago to have a 'complete set' Hippie Hemi and Digger 'Cuda dragster's. i guess you could include Infini-T and Stingaree but those are a little different. the one surprise was the 'clear' oil pan. the windows come in 3 colors of clear, well so do the oil pans! AMT gets smart points for that, once you have them running through production might as well make some neat features. the frame is an excellent example of the frame that came after the Dragmaster 4 tube type. kit is very well done! have a nice day!

route66modeler Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 it is the garlits rail with a different body/decals. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regular guy Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 mr route 66 i feel like i'm telling you their is no Easter bunny. the AMT Hippie Hemi and it's sister model the Digger 'Cuda probably never existed in real life. so, no i don't think they would produce a new chassis for the Hippie Hemi. this was the height of the model companies power and they felt they could make models that they created. that's why the kits are pretty darn interesting. have a nice day!

CabDriver Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 So, do the Hippie Hemi and the Digger Cuda share the old Garlitts rail frame? Same kit, different bodies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, the Digger Cuda has the Ivo chassis under it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Both are correct: Hippie Hemi uses the 1964 Garlits chassis, Digger 'Cuda uses the 1970 Ivo car's chassis (probably a Woody Gilmore piece). Neither existed in 1:1, these kits were developed out of a need to get multiple kits off of one main tool. The Garlits rail was also used for a sand dragster (with the chassis inverted and driver positioned in front of the engine!). The Ivo dragster saw one more use, the Too Much dual engine dragster. The original issue included two entire plated trees. AMT essentially molded two kits and dropped the engine parts and plated tree from every second kit into the "other" one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
