Hi all! I'm new to this forum I've been a member of the Open Wheel and Indy Car modelers forums for over 20 years. I've also been on Randy Ayers NASCAR forum forever.
I got re-interested in Drag Cars as a change of pace from Indy and NASCAR. Also one of Drag Racing all-time great is from my hometown. Jack Chrisman was born in Grove, OK before moving to southern CA. and I've been wanting to build his 1967 Mercury for a while. I have the Cady decals and AMT release of the '67 altered wheel base but I'm not sure where to go from here.
I also have the Mongoose and Snake Top Fuel Dragsters (MCP 1972). but no decals. Any ideas on where I might find some aftermarket or if someone has the kit decals.
Dr Dave

Hello Dr Dave, Welcome to the group. Gosh, you joined here over a month ago and no one has replied to your post before now. I'll be the first. Have you started work on the Jack Chrisman's 67 Mercury AWB yet? If you have, post some progress pics "In The Race Shop - Works In Progress" section and tell us how you are doing with the build.
As far as finding the decals for the Mongoose and Snake Top Fuel Dragsters, you might try eBay or another auction site. Do a Google search as well. Sometimes you'll find what you're looking for that way.
Good luck and welcome.
Steve Lewis

Thanks guys! I ended up building the AMT reissue as the Dyno Don Car.It came out ok but the kit had a lot of inaccuracies to do Jack's car (no tubular frame, engine not set back/low enough, etc.
I figured I would try the Competitions resins set on an MPC or Polar lights chassis for the Chrisman car.
