• Behind the scenes of the book published business: Entire unpublished text for a planned sidebar re future kit ideas from my book "Collecting Drag Racing Model Kits"... *LINK* *PIC*
  • I'd like to see Pete Robinsons 427 Cammer top fuel car. We really need a new tool ACCURATE top fuel cammer motor model. My 2 cents. *NM*
    • David...what a great suggestion! Best...TB *NM*
    • That would be one I'd go for. Actually started trying to cobble one up many years ago, then when he got killed at Pomona I just put everything back in the box and its buried in the stacks somewhere. *NM*
    • I'd vote for an Ivo Twin... *NM*
    • But I'm in for Sneaky Pete, or one of Conrad's "Bounty Hunter" SOHC rails *NM*
  • I don't know why but I remember one of the old mags had a double page spread and pic, "Sneaky Pete, Mr, Eliminator 1961"! Don't know why but I just hope that doesn't make me one of those hooligan gearheads! LOL! *NM*
  • The most easy to do is to update the latest Top Fuel Dragster kits to todays standard, not that hard if you want to...
    • Hakan, I agree entirely. When I interviewed several industry execs while writing the book, this exact subject was discussed. IIRC there was interest in investigating the idea, but it was put on hold during the Hobbico bankruptcy & apparently has not been revisited since. *NM*
