EXCELLENT!! That turned out extremely nice! Well done!!

You are doing a very nice job with what is IMO, kind of a pig of a kit. The kit is (again, MY opinion) a very rough representation of the McLaren Indy Car. It is really unfortunate that there have not been many accurate, commercially available Indy car models made. I am hoping the new kits supposedly in test shot phase will be more representative

Great job! I am old enough and was fortunate enough to see the Big John Willys and the SWC Willys match race at my local drag strip in about 1965. You got it right!!

VERY nicely done!! I love that era of indy cars as they were just discovering aero and before ground effects

Very nice!! I think I've built at least one of every Polar Lights funny car released. The frames were all a PITA, and the decals were extremely fragile, but with patience and perseverance they build in t a very respectable model. You did an excellent job on this one!

Great job on a rare, classic kit. You absolutely NAILED the paint color!

Very nice work thus far!! Outstanding detail.

That is a GREAT looking build!! Nice Work!

Very clean, good looking build. I LOVE this dragster. Well done!!

Beautiful, amazing work once agin Ian! I love your builds. They just look "right" when you are through. Great job!

THAT is just Fantastic!! Great build! Certainly a car that doesn't get modeled very often, although I'm old enough I do remember seeing pictures of it at different events.

You did a very nice job. I built this a few years back...it can be very "finicky".

I FINALLY got this one done!! I started with a 1/16 scale Revell Jungle Jim and ended up with this. I had this almost done 9 months ago, dropped the body and broke it. I got pissed and put it away, and finally got it back out last month. I'm never going to be at the level of some of the people that post on here, but I'm pretty happy with the results. I made some changes to the frame and some of the mounting points to get the stance the way I THINK a 70's funny car should look. I used Pro-Tech lines, fittings, spark plug wires and boots to detail the engine. I used 65lb. braid fishing line as parachute cord. Decals are from Chuck Boerner of Chuck's Vintage Drag Racing Decals. Thank you all for looking!!

Beautifully done!! I have ALWAYS loved the paint jobs on the Keeling and Clayton cars!!

The Petty Road Runner with the black vinyl top was used in the 1968 Daytona 500. There is quite a bit of disagreement on whether it really was a "vinyl" covering. One story is that the top was embossed metal and painted black to disguise that it had been acid dipped to significantly reduce it's thickness and the embossing was done to improve airflow to compete with the Dodge Chargers, Ford Torinos and Mercury Cyclones. Not sure how much truth there is in the story, but it was discussed on a NASCAR forum some time back. HorrorSHow, GREAT job on the model. Fantastic!
