Mike...thank you my friend. I need to give you a call this week.

Danno.... thank you my friend. The last thing i want you guys or anyone else to think is that I am complaining because I am not. I truly believe the judges made the right call on it and got it right. The judges truly have a hard job when it comes to judging these cars at the show. I personally felt that both of Johns twin FED were way better than my FED.

John.... Thanks Brother!! I had a blast hanging out with you and Paul this past weekend. It went by way too fast. I am proud of this build for being as old as it is. I can finally call it completed. Cooper is already missing you and paul... :lol: He loved you guys.

 

Here are a few shots as promised: Tomorrow (tuesday) I will take some pics of it out in the sun when I get home from work and post them for you. But here are a few. I couldn't get the lighting right so the pics didn't turn out that well. Here they are.....

This turned out Fantastic!!! I really enjoyed following it come together and the end result is well worth the wait. I can believe how awesome sight it must have been to see this one and John Teresi's Front Engine Dragsters together at the contest table... Your detailing is super nice and clean. The engine looks like it could be fired up any moment! Paint job is really nice, too and the overall look is just perfect. I wish I could do this good job some day. Congrats, this is one of the best Dragsters I've ever seen... In the same category as John's FEDs. Very Nice!
