Codi Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Great paint Ian, any pics with the body off or propped up? cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McLaren Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 Please note this is just a mock up The paint is still in progress the paint hasn't been cleared or polished and the chassis still need quite a bit of work. but people have been asking for a body up shot. still needs decals and I'm in the process of building the windshield and injector dog house.

GoatGuy Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 This is a really cool build Ian. Can't wait to see more of it. I always like seeing different drag cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straightliner59 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Cool! That paint looks familiar. Is that an Alberta car? Seems like I might have seen Vern Scholz post pictures of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanMuscleFan Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Nice paint scheme Ian! A lot of masking tape (and cutting) in the process has been certainly necessary to achieve this! Cool build so far and it will be easily recognizable among others at the next model car show. Great job sir!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
