you did an excellent job doing Finnegan's car. I like it and keep up the great work. Good to see that you know what his car looks like as a lot of so called  ( car nuts ) have never even heard of him or the car. But I see that you as well as me read real car magazine's and know what the 1/1 car is and looks like cause you duplicated it perfect. Thank you.       Jeff

Great.

Is Mike Finnegan some kind of rock star?  lol. Maybe an Irish.....wait a minute, I just googled the name.  OK, a hot rod guy.

Geez, I'm so old and uninformed it makes others sick.  Me lady still loves me though....

My view is, this thread sucks, and I don't get it at all.

What kind of a model is this supposed to be?

Someone later on posted pics of a possible rendition, thanks for this entry.  The car is actually interesting, my opinion.

So Joseph, what's going on dude?

Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger host a TV show called Roadkill. They both work for Hot Rod magazine and Motor trend.  The show is my favorite, these guys do things to cars that I thought only I did (put a Chevy 4.3L V6 boosted by a Ford Powerstroke diesel turbocharger in a Datsun Z).  You can see them on Netflix season 1 only and all episodes are on youtube. If your into cars at all, Watch them! I've included the link to the youtube page, its a list of all the episodes.

 

 

Finnegan's 55 Chevy is a rusted out body with a gasser chassis, fiberglass hood and a big old Hemi. Finnegan first saw a car like this in a movie called "2 lane blacktop" from 1971. I'm sure we've all seen it.

Joseph I love this car and have plan to make my own. I hope to do the Blasthemi before paint or fiberglass hood. (Sorry pic of a pic.)

Just awesome work keep it going!
