Ed McCulloch's Revell / English Leather Duster. The body was modified to match the one of one body. I cut 3/4 inch out of the drivers area and used the nose of a second body to lengthen the front 1 1/2 inches.
Chassis was modified to move the engine back 1 inch. The rear suspension was modified to lower it 2mm. The rear body mount and front tin work was also modified to lower the body 2.5mm. The interior tin work and windshield was modified to fit the corrected blower and scoop.
The injector unit is an 8 port unit made from an injector base and eight 2.5mm brass tubes. The injector scoop is made from plastic sheet. Decals are an ancient set of Quarter Mile Legends, which I never used because they did not fit the stock Revell Duster body. The side pic of the Revellution and Pure Hell show the body/ chassis differences.

Very cool looking builds and nicely done too!! I built the Pure Hell altered awhile back, I'm pretty sure that I posted it on here at JC's.

I'll look for it. The Pure Hell Duster was build probably 10 years ago. The early funny cars I know them well from hands on time. 1969 to about 1978 when it became a big sponsor class. Paul

That Maverick kit that I built is an expensive kit and I cut that one up too as far as the interior and engine goes. It’s all about our “vision” of what we’re looking for when it’s all completed.

It’s all about our “vision” of what we’re looking for when it’s all completed. I have model kits to build the "value" or what the sell for is meaningless to me. They were bought to build. I have just started an extremely rare AMT Gas Ronda Long Nose Mustang funnycar.
