Dragline Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Off Da Hook!! Now the question. What kit is that? It looks like it's ready to leap for petes sake! Bob
bbowser Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Great color. These cars got a little extreme with the wheelbase didn't they? Very cool.
Mike 1017 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 You did a fantastic job.I love the red and gold.
Old Coyote Posted November 25, 2012 Author Posted November 25, 2012 Now the question. What kit is that? Bob It's the AMT/Model King "King's Comet" kit
caine440 Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Very nice as always! I love the old AWB cars.
Modelmartin Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Very well built model! AMT led everyone down the wrong road with this kit, though. Chrisman never ran a car like that! His Comet was one of the first flip body funny cars built by Logghe that year including Dyno Don's car. I guess we will have to file it under the "Phantom" category!
John Teresi Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 OC........beautiful build........you never disappoint........thanks for sharing.
GoatGuy Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 According to the current owner of Chrisman's two early cars, Jim Barillaro, Mercury is responsible for making the first successful funny cars. They decided to put funding into the sport of funny car instead of SuperStock like Ford did. Ford was very upset that Mercury was having such success in Funny Car, like Nicholson winning 90% of his match races. Also according to Jim, the cam made by Crane was instrumental in making the horsepower for his blown Fords. Jim takes both of the Chrisman cars to events and does burnouts with them. Very cool.
gasser59 Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Sweet build. Count me in as liking the AWB cars too.
