they have that model at Hobby Loby in Flint. I had the replica of that when I was a kid. Also one of my fav models. Its really getting hard to find them now. Growing up places like Wal-Mart,Meijers,K-mart, They had half of an isle's worth of different styles,paints,and glue, Now you have to drive to a hobby shop just to find a few and they want like $20+ for a single model. Really sucks because I LOVE building model cars and trucks.

i took a monster truck kit and smashed it with a chevell kit to make a monster car plus i put red led's into the head lights that worked. it was pretty cool.  plus i took a GTO and put a serious rake with some slicks that i cut to give it a street drag radial look.

I still have some that are unfinished.  I had the "Soff Seal" '57 Chevy Drag Car.  I think its still in a box somewhere.

Some of them are cool looking.  But I have never been a fan of the Crazy ass Custom T-Bucket look.  Love the Drag Cars and the old Hot Rod stuff over the crazy 70s looks.

love make'n them but never just got one we would buy two or three of them and make one car/truck ......and rember at fair time us demo derbys were big in my neiborhood with the older guys so us kids built models reinforsed them with any kinds of metal or hard plastic we could find and paid intre fee's(that paid for a new model for the winner) just like the big guys and had heat's and judges was kinda cool...and then the elementry school i went too once a year would have a carshow we used to look forward for that every year

[BigFrank]

 i got a load of em lol   been collecting em and building them since i was about 7   amt  3in 1 1940 ford still have it and tons more i would spend hours upon hours detailing the engine and chassis interior and body  ill save em till im too old and decrepide to work on real cars   they are a great way to get the kids into cars/trucks/hot rods also

I still buy them now and then and put them together... I just give then to my newphews and they break them but its fun..... I have a 1979 z28 model I am going to build soon.... I do them in the winter and only a few parts once in awhile... just something to mess with when I get bored I guess...

[John]

oh and I also gave some away to friends that race slot cars.... way cool to see them moving.

I had a late 80's camaro model that I loved.  I killed it with some bottle rockets strapped to the roof one day. I think my dad still has it in the basement
