In Response To: Back in the early 1980's I bought a large collection of built models from the 50's/early 60's, at a yard sale... In it were about a dozen variations of the original DD, including a streamliner, built using the side by side injected Chevy configuration.... ()

only two chutes I have the same are from the MPC funny car kits & are way too small.........I've got 3 slightly different large chutes that look more 1962 style so will probably go with them........been on a Drag Racing model build kick for the past few months getting raedy for the East Coast Hobby Expo in July...........with various previous builds I should have 15-20 drag racing builds to show.......lol.

  - Not too many people really think about it, but that kit is an engineering masterpiece, so many interchangeable parts and possible building versions *NM*
