Peter Lombardo Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 What a mess!!!! Great job, not your average Funny Car build up. Very unique and original....the "smoking" look is very clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railfreak78 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 WOW is all I can say. I love your builds. Was this based on a real Gene Snow blow up or just for the unique build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie427.com Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks fellas....this body came smashed in the mail so I figgered I would do a wrecked funnycar...actually it would have been melted a bit and the whole inside of body blackened....I used dullcoat and sprinkled/smudged black pastel dust for ash/smoke look...exhaled from my cigarette to get smoke in 1st pic...tried to replicate exploded gas tank and motor...I used no reference so its kinda "imagineered"..Later....W427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlzrocks Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 If a kit came in with a bad body, I would just do my best to build it and then take it out back and light an M80 under it! Same effect, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
