Very nice looking sprint car! The winged version reminds of the cars I saw as a kid running in Pennsylvania.

Nice "Transformer" build, Ed.
Very cool. I like the wing.

Thanks Hondo for the compliment....

even back in the '70's could never find enough of those kits to build one with a wing and another without....probably never though of doing it that way either....
Can't do it with either the 1980's and 2006 issues of that kit, as when AMT put the super mod parts to make it a 2n1 kit they dropped the wing and side air foils and back dated the hood to the original style with slight modifications.
In the '70's the super mod version was a separate release.
