Yankee Sizzler Monza

[1320wayne]

I spent much of my youth growing up at New England Dragway. One of the regulars whenever there was a funny car competition (one of the tracks that put on a yearly 64 car funny car show) was Tim Kushi in the Yankee Sizzler Monza funny car. Always loved this car so for a while I pestered Chuck Boerner to add this decal to his arsenal of superb decals and he finally did. 
This build was another pretty much out of the box build other than the usual adjustments that I make to Revell funny car kits to make them sit better. The one added feature was to add the raised roof section that was found on the real car to accomodate the higher roll cage on Tim's car as he was a very tall man. I also made the the chassis tin decals on my home computer.

Another gorgeous build.

great build! the way you rework the stance on these kits make all the difference in the world. I appreciate you teaching the rest of us how to do it.

That is a well done model of his car.
We ran 4 or 5 Funnycar evens at that strip in the early 70's, (last one I launched my blower into the pit area) but ran mostly on my home strip N.Y. National Speedway and south to Raceway Park and Dover. Now I'm about an hour or so away from N.E. Dragway and only run E.Coast Gas events. Thanks for the memories! Paul
