Hi Clarence. This is a great kit. I built the super stock drag version "Bent Eight!" box stock, except removed the side trim. No build issues. Pics coming soon. Have fun!

Thanks for your comment. I decided to go with the Flat Out version. I also decided to paint the hood in red instead going all black. I was curious to find some pictures or info on those 2 version of the car but couldn't find anything on the net. Is this a real car of just a fantasy from Revell?

My guess is fantasy. That was OK with me, because I was building a model of a '57 F-Code Custom Sedan, which could have gone racing in stock form back in the day. I just liked the decals. A lot of these cars were just raced "as is" off the street. There are some after market decals for actual '57 Ford drag racers out there; I think I saw some on EBay.

Ooops
, I meant an "E-Code", "F-Code" would be supercharged!
