Re: Red Alert returns
If anyone has any info or pics of RE from back in the day, please share. Bob Hamilton and family raced in and around the NJ area, mostly NHRA, in the hotly contested SS/DA class until the mid '70s, at which time they moved to the Bradenton, FL area. Bob has since passed away, but son Robert Hamilton, JR is supposed to be living in the NE someone. If anyone knows him, or other family members, we would love to speak top them.

Re: Red Alert returns
I remember reading this a few years ago but forget so can someone please clarify;
Was the car's nose sheetmetal always a '70 and only the models kits got updated styling like the '72 style shown above?. Interesting the '72 nosed model kit shown still has '70 fenders.. Did the models kits w/ updated noses have the 71/72 style rear bumpers too?. ~ Pete

Re: Red Alert returns
The real car has always retained its original sheetmetal and other hardware. Even the lettering is original.
I was told the AMT model had a '72 frontend because that is what the mold was for, a 1972 Chevelle.

Tom, One of the members of this board is associated with Englishtown Raceway. Just a suggestion on finding a little more information, Andrew H. could have access to some information and pictures of this car in action? Just a thought you may have already checked, but just wanted to mention? Neat car with a neat history.

Re: Red Alert returns
Thanks for all of the nice comments.
I have one of the AMT models, but if anyone out there runs across others, please pick it up for me. Also, am looking for a pair of Motor Wheel Spyders for the rear.
