• Since there seems to be a ModRod re-release in the near term future, can any of the AK nerds point out which parts (besided decals) would be needed to make the kit by **other means?**
  • RM I think the Mod Rod issue has more of the AK than the Model A Roadster kit, tho' neither had every AK part, I used Fred Cady(?) decals when rebuilt an old gluebomb, the new tooled 2000? issue would supply most missing bits, tho' its decals are wrong colour. *NM*
  • Mod Rod lacks the AK grille shell, fender unit is altered a bit. Never really checked part by part as I've got a complete one *NM*
  • Re:What is 'AK'? Maybe I should term the question ' WIAK' *NM*
    • Ala Kart *NM*
    • Ala Kart *NM*
  • I seem to remember an article years ago on combining the best parts from both kits to build the most accurate possible with kit parts but it's been a long time. *NM*
    • Even tho' I've built the Alley Cat back in the day, also as part of GAKBU(Great Ala Kart Build Up) & the new tooled version I'd be interested in that article on combining the 2 kits.....I'm an AK nerd.....lol. *NM*
  • The 2016 Mod Rod 'reissue' (and presumably the Mooneyes kit)... *PIC*
    • Dave, thats a nice selection of AK kits & spinoffs...I can't beat that but I do have a large full colour pressed metal Ala Kart with George Barris' signature.....yeh, I'm an AK nerd...lol.. *NM*
      • The Kart is probably the first show car replicated as a model kit. Monogram did a couple of them before, but not credited to their builders *NM*
