This one was built some time ago also but just got a rebuild. A couple of years ago, I was getting it ready in a community build on another forum and was going to pull the flatty and stuff in a nice Ardun I had. While moving it from the display case to the work bench……..and I know this has happened to some of you……………..I dropped it. Yep, and on a tile floor no less. I was sick. I didn't know if I should puke or wind my watch. It went back in the box, in many pieces, and stayed until now. Parts I could not repair I dug out of the parts pile and got it just about like it was when first finished. I used the Hot Rod series Revell kit from the mid 80's and the flat motor is from the 50 Ford pickup kit. Headers are made from solder. I am not sure what kit the pie crust slicks are from but I think the AMT 40 willys/32 Sedan double kit gave them up. For some reason, the driver door does not fit as well after the crash but I don't think they ever fit well on those old kits anyway. I robbed the seats from the 34 Pickup kit. All I have left is the hoses and Radiator to install. It was built as a "Average Working Joe" Gasser hobby car to play at the local strip in the early days. Its not great but I saved it and I feel better. With some luck and a tail wind, Average Joe might turn some 14 second ET's!
