M W Elky Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 This is the revell kit built into a stocker with the headers coming out of the amt jimmy kit the front wheels are from my parts box. The decals were sourced from a eBay seller. Until next time thanks for looking ?. Mike 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papajohn97 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Great job Mike on another classic door slammer. I was unfamiliar with this car but found two nice photos of it on the George Klass Website, your model looks very accurate relative to the photos there. It’s mind boggling how many SS drag cars were in competition in those early years when drag racing was a relatively affordable sport. Love black cars with red interiors. This Revell kit is so good, I’m tempted to do another SS’er if I can find a nice set of decals (these Zorro decals are no where to be found). I would love to build Dick Harrell’s black ‘62 Impala. Always enjoy your postings, keep ‘em coming!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are printed on a black background definitely not slixx quality, but they display ok .I built the Dick Harrell car about 12 years ago, I’ll have to clean it up and take some pictures of it . The decals for the Harrell car came from MCW, and unfortunately I think they are out of production. I have to agree this kit builds up really nice , but I ask myself why didn’t they tool up a see of headers for the drag version. As that was one of the first day two modifications we made to our cars. Those last 3 mopar builds you did were just outstanding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altered Ego Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Man, there are so many things I could say about this model. This is a perfect rendition of a car you would see at your local dragstrip in the late '60's or early '70's. The paint scheme is wicked and I love it before the signage was applied, as well as after.

TarheelRick Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Really looks the part, reminds me of my younger days waiting my turn to roll my '65 SS Chevelle into the lights at Sportsman's Park Dragway in Farmington, NC when it was a 1/4 mile. Those days of drag-racing were really some of the best. Your "Zorro" looks like so many of the early Stockers and Super-Stockers of the day. Very nice build.

daveb7153 Posted January 22, 2024 Share Posted January 22, 2024 Hey Rick, sounds like there's a chance we were racing at the same time. Did you ever run at East Bend? I'm originally from Dobson and we went down there a lot of Sundays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
