	Thank you all for the nice comments. But I thought nobody was going to like them as the title says, "You will not like these". 🙂

	As a kid I think I could build one of these in just a couple of hours (if that). Drag racing cars were my passion. Not one sticker was left. I loved the racing stickers. I started painting models later as a teenager.

	I did these maybe 4 years ago. Not a drop of paint. Did them like that just to reminisce my childhood (1970s) builds. They were essentially glue bombs. I build a little better now.

	I had that set as a kid. Make the ramps too.

	Those side exhaust look perfect. Back in their days they were something special. You are a great painter too.

	What a great build! I think I saw this dragster in real life. I live close to the Don Garlits museum in Florida and I saw so many drag racing legends there and I know I saw a lot of his dragsters.

	Did you know there is a counterpart for this car? The General Grant, in blue, and an American flag on the top instead.

	I really like this one. One of the best you have done.👍

Looks great. Do you plan to do the Black Trans Am too? - 
	You are right. I got one too but I added the red numbers (just vinyl stickers) . Just did some flocking to the seat.

	Got tired of the blue one and did some painting. Not completely real life accurate but I wanted this color.
 - 
	Does anybody know if modeltruckin.com went out of business? The truck decals web. Never mind. I figured it out. They are here now: https://modeltruckers.com/

	Is this a real car or a model? That engine looks too real!
 - 
	The blue one is here. Pardon the ugly photos. Painted gray interiors. They come in black. Swapped the tires also.

	Funny, I did the same thing on the tail pipes but I used a Sharpie. I found photo of an engine of another die cast model and I think I might do a little detail on mine. Not much can be done but a little gray might help.
