This is the new Revell 32' 5 window. I cut the cowl vent out and positioned it so it is open and I also cut the roof insert out and replaced it with wood slats made from match sticks. Thats about all I did to the body. The engine is the kit hemi that I plumbed with plug wires and fuel lines. The 3 deuces came from the Revell Merc kit and I fabbed them to fit the intake that came with the hemi. I also added the cheater slicks and wheels from the Lil Coffin because the wheels and tires that came with the kit just didnt look right. It also has finned brake drums front and back. The color is Testors Inca Gold with some "grime" and dullcote. I basically wanted it to look like an abused and ran hard 60's drag car. Let me know what ya think.

I Think it's very Kool Jay, Very nice work ! -I love old drag cars. I think the L'il Coffin wheels & tires were exactly the right thing.

I see many like it at the Nostalgia Drags at Famosa every March. Of course, they get cleaned more often, than they ever did when they where "NEW", back in the day.
