This is a replica of the 1957 Chevy Funny Car that Tom “Mongoose” McEwen raced in 1988. Tom McEwen’s new dragster had a body of the coveted ’57 Chevy Bel Air and yet had a modern funny car chassis. Tom McEwen raced for almost 45 years and won several races throughout his racing career.

 

For the modeler: This review is based on the Tom “Mongoose” McEwen 1957 Chevy Funny Car 1:24 Scale Revell Model Kit #85-4305. This kit is considered a Skill Level 2 for the moderate builder.. The pieces are molded in white, chrome, black vinyl tires and water slide decals. There are 84 pieces to this kit and very well laid out instructions. The dimensions are; L 9¼”  x  W 213/16”  x  H 2¼” . With the prop rod I used to hold the body up it is L 9¼”  x  W 213/16”  x  H 33/8”.
