This is not mine. Listed on the HAMB board, I saw this car at the at the Meltdown Drags a couple of years ago, it is well done. I don’t think you could build it for the asking price.

A/FX clone for sale
Re: A/FX clone for sale
Hey Jim,how close did you look at the car? It looks good in the pics but you never know.Is it done up right? How's the bottom look? Did it have the "older restoration" look or was it fresh looking? Was the guy a nut case like me with a couple rags in his pocket and a dust mop in the trunk? I know...lot of questions.Guy's about 7 hrs from me.Might have to go take a look.
Re: A/FX clone for sale
Just by looking at the pics & reading the description I'd guess he had a rag or 2 in his back pocket.the shut off switch, he could not drill a hole in the car.that says a lot about the guy. & he knows too much about it all,ease of exhaust removal to be a ''buy it & keep it shiny guy''. I think he'd come near having tool box strapped down in his trunk than a dust mop & cleaning supplies. [JMO!!!]
Re: A/FX clone for sale
From what I remember the car was well done. The pictures that were posted show nothing that would indicate any less than top shelf workmanship. Of course being that it is a ‘64 Cyclone makes it special in my eyes.vicegrip wrote:Hey Jim,how close did you look at the car? It looks good in the pics but you never know.Is it done up right?

Re: A/FX clone for sale
That is definately a nice looking car. It is not to far from me. I'm guessing he doesn't race it or at least not at the tracks I frequent as I haven't seen it anywhere. I would have remembered that car.
Re: A/FX clone for sale
I thought the exact same thing when I spotted the cut off. Last one I did was a push pull deal thru a hollowed out bumper bolt.poboyjo65 wrote:Just by looking at the pics & reading the description I'd guess he had a rag or 2 in his back pocket.the shut off switch, he could not drill a hole in the car.that says a lot about the guy. & he knows too much about it all,ease of exhaust removal to be a ''buy it & keep it shiny guy''.
