He helped make changes for safer racing and his designs live on in the modern era. His 30+ year career brought him numerous wins, championships, speed records and innovations that make drag racing so popular today. He is a legend to fans, old and new. Swamp Rat XXX appeared in 1986 when Big Daddy set Top Fuel records at the Florida Gator National. With the new canopy\/closed cockpit design, top speeds were over 272 mph in the quarter mile. This set the bar for the competition on the two lane blacktop.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>For the Modeler:<\/b> You can still find plenty these kits on the auction sites or at garage sales. If you happen to have one, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll show you how to perfect this build. The Revell Don Garlits Swamp Rat XXX Dragster was released in 1987 in 1\/25th scale. It is rated a skill level one kit but it takes a lot of work; a two rating might be more appropriate. It has 79 pieces, molded in black, chrome and clear with vinyl Goodyear drag racing tires and nice looking decals that appear to be fairly accurate to the photo on the box. Included is a replica of Don Garlits wearing a cap and holding his helmet.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Covered in this Review:<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Basic construction; modified assembly sequences; paint color choices; engine, hoses, cockpit, battery detailing; making and using black washes; using Sharpie markers for detail; installing the engine\/trans\/rear end as a single unit; using foil for realistic detail; adhesive selections for specific applications; tire\/wheel lettering and detailing; wheelie bar finishing; installing and detailing the cockpit glass; decal preparation and placement; figure painting and detailing; are all fully examined in this <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>10 page, full-color<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Step-by-Step review.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Keep the glue off the windshield<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Tony Gibson<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Important!<\/span> &#8211; You <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">MUST<\/span> click on the &#8220;<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Return to Right on Replicas, LLC<\/span>&#8221; link after you&#8217;ve made your purchase to download your review!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_s-xclick\" \/> <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"HSHGTGVWUZB3J\" \/>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 <input type=\"image\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/form>\n<p align=\"center\">To get your copy of the full review &#8211; just select one of the payment methods above for <b>$4.99 USD<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: medium;\">\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\nRight On Replicas, LLC \u00c2\u00a92013 All rights reserved.<br \/>\n*All registered trademarks are the property of their respective brands.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\nvar _gaq = _gaq || [];   _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-7543364-1']);   _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);   (function() {     var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text\/javascript'; ga.async = true;     ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
