Drag Racing Build Off

Thanks for the invite. I would put something together but have too much on my plate at the moment. Shame this wasn't earlier, as I am almost finished with a 10.5 style 66 Nova. I just started a 69 Barracuda running slicks, but wouldn't call it a drag car. After those get finished up I have at Torino to build up for a guy at work. Looks like I have the next couple months filled up.

Good luck guys and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Sounds like fun... ;)

how 'bout aftermarket stuff... :P

I have the funnycar body, blower and top hat from Competition Resins, Slixx Decals and the latest Revell Funnycar kit to build Ron Capp's 2006 Brut Funnycar...have not started - so can provide photos of all parts, etc - gives me a good excuse to build this sucker ;)

can also throw in a plastic model kit for da winner

and

Raul will be hard-pressed to finish this build in the time frame alotted...so he probaly shouldn't be considered the 'slam-dunk winner' as yet... B)

Dirk,

That's not fair!! I haven't even looked through my pile of kits to figure out what I want to build and you're already headed for the finish line!! :P

I guess I better get started! ;)

Ok first of all I will send to the winner one of My Xmas tree kits..

It is a white Metal kit. 25 pieces.. with decals to replicate a chrondek tree.

It is cast By RnD unique as an exclusive for me.

As far as what i have got done.. I Put the Body into the Purple Pond..then when i got home I stripped it and Primed it.. as well as painted some of the Parts for the kit.

Painted parts

In a little while I will go a shoot some Testors Lacquer White on the body.

will Post More pics later.or the next time..
