Very cool.

Life imitates art, pretty cool.

[Shardik]

I just know somebody here is going to bring it full circle and build a replica of this one now.

Any bets on who will be the first ?

[hgbben]

Way too cool.

[Craig Irwin]

Someone built a "Black Widow" T a few years back too!

[Daddyfink]

Neat, but, I do not like the whitewalls on it.

[PappyD340]

"But their intention was to build more than just a replica – this 1:1 Badman was to be a nod towards what used to be and what could be, all the while staying true to the original model."

I was wondering the the same, but it's an homage to the original Badman, not an exact replica.

Old Pro '72 Nova?:

That Old Pro Nova is very nice. I was thinking the proportions would have to be so skewed , it would never work to be a true replica in actual reality. those whitewalls are beyond tacky.

But when the engine was a 265 the 396 on the stripe didn't mean much.....

I love the hemi being in there...

Huh?

The actual Badman kit still includes the 265 SBC from the original Monogram '55 Hardtop, but the Badman kit's decals say "396".

[Daddyfink]

Ah! Got'cha!
