This is the version I want to build of this kit someday. edit- I see now this version is being rereleased, but unless they really wow me over with cool parts and decals I'll save my money and build it out of one of the 4-5 kits I already have of this.

Casey Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Here's what the original looked like, so the reissue should be similar? Many interesting parts in this version, including those long-forgotten sidewall tire caps: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipOqJtpyhERemqhaP573KVHDc5PrYb7Abrg2n7ZPUS7Itc60zmT-Io-ge4EjCuPLig?key=cFF2ZDJLdTNBQ2RZYjZyV1R1RllOUDN5bHZDbXlB Currently on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMT-Alexander-s-Drag-Time-Dodge-Deora-Show-Car-Custom-Show-Rod-Drag-Racing-Blown/324168355970?hash=item4b79f09082:g:hj0AAOSwV7NewDKj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Hmm. Looks like AMT threw in the parts pack Hemi tree, including the Corvair engine. About the only other change seems to be swapping the two rear chrome reverse wheels for the pair of mags. I wonder if the Little Red Wagon's front axle/springs would be an easy swap to get steerable front wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Yes, a former AMT employee once stated that. The family is/was from the area. Many of the names on their decal sheets back then were actual people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early issues used compact car tires (the ones used in Corvair and Opel GT kits for stock). On 1/28/2013 at 5:33 AM, scummy said: Didnt the original have chrome wheels with baby moon caps ?

From what I've read, Doug went by himself to California and met the other members there to form the Knack. I witnessed Geoffrey come onstage at a Mitch Ryder concert in Royal Oak and "help" with background vocals on a song or two during the Woodward Dream Cruise week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting way off topic here, but Doug was a member of the Los Angeles Shelby club and owned a GT-350. Despite being a "rock star" he was a friendly and humble guy.
