Mickey Thompson's Attempt I

[41chevy]

Found this packed in a box from about 10 or 12 years ago. Body fits badly because it is not glued together. I'm going to redo the body fit and correct the incorrect details, like the missing 12 spoke front wheels and the lack of chrome, add the fuel lines and realign some parts. I have new decals but I'm going to spray the stripe. Enjoy. Paul

Another great "back in the day" car. Thanks.

Mickey Thompson was well beyond his time with some of these creations. However, many of his innovations made their way into the everyday racer. Never had this kit, heard it was a really fiddly Revell kit, so I shied away from it. Like the looks of yours. Maybe if it ever comes back around I may pick one up.

Fiddly is a good choice of words, close to mine but more acceptable.

That is really cool ....... this is the first time I have ever seen this kit totally built up as the Attempt 1 .......... most of the time I see the Dragmaster chassis robbed to build other dragsters (which I did with my kit also)
