Pinewood Derby Grant Rebel SST (The real car)

["Gary Walker" <NashFlash@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,
    That's a neat little racer.  The car could use the trademark spoilers
which are pretty much unique to the Grant rebel SST Funny Car.   The front
could use the chin spoiler which was under and molded as a part of the
fiberglass bumper.  That may be hard to do at this point but the rear
spoiler would be real easy to do.   The rear spoiler runs straight across
the rear of the trunk lid almost to but not over the rear fenders.  You can
easily make it out of some thin scrap aluminum such as from a drink can.  It
is only a simple vee shape with a narrow flange at each side of the vee for
pop rivets, crude but true.  You can just glue it on.   The spoiler is only
about six inches tall in reality.   The original speed parts decals are near
each end of the spoiler and are in good shape after all these years but I
regret to say that I can not remember which ones those are.  I do not have
the car with me in Shreveport where I am working so I can not check for you.
It is 140 miles away at my other house.  The rear spoiler would be a nice
touch though.  Just make it small.  It is very understated on the real car.
Good luck.
      Your AMC friend,
