misterNNL Posted January 10 That roll cage/chassis looks impossible to me. What a work of art all by itself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scott8950 Posted January 10 That chassis is insane! That truck is a blast to watch run. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misterNNL Posted January 10 I watched some Fast Eddie videos just now and he explains a lot about this truck. It is a real '64 Chevy C10 that he first rode in at age 6 and bought from his dad at the age of 18. All the fire damage and rust is faux finish paint. He shows a section of the bed cover that is carbon fibre but shows rusty finish. Other sections are crazed like fire damage but again is faux paint. Interesting stuff. Who made the resin body for this model ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Force Posted January 12 (edited) Cool build. I have lots of pictures of "Fast Freddy" Fagerström's truck taken at events here in Sweden. Freddy in action Tierp Arena 2013. Freddy and his son (I think) towing the truck back, Freddys tow car is as cool as the race truck, Tierp 2014 2015 he tried a turbocharged combination because he wanted to run the very fast top speeds the turbocharged cars run, but it only lasted one season and he went back to the old supercharged combination the next season, Tierp Arena. This picture is from 2019, the car suffered a lot of fire and smoke damage in the winter before the season as a litium battery in his shop self combusted and caught fire and could have burned the whole thing down. That didn't stop him and he came back and was race ready when the season started with a lot of help and support from his friends. 2020 was a sad thing as almost all drag racing activity in Europe last season was on hold due to the Covid pandemic.

It's a really old body that was from "Flash Point Motorsports" I have one stashed away in depths of the hobby room. The pictures I found on Facebook were from 2013, I can't remember when I purchased mine. They've been out of business for some time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misterNNL Posted January 17 This is a really well done body with a very stylish wedge shape and has great proportions. All this is combining to produce a killer drag model. I am enjoying following this thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also have a VW made by the company. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Force Posted January 30 (edited) Nice progress. I don't know if it's your intention but if you are doing a true copy of Fast Freddy's truck the engine should be a BAE Hemi. Edited January 30 by Force Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattilacken Posted January 30 Great progress! Where do you buy wheels and tires from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not going to be a true replica... as I can’t replicate every decal on his truck. I’m adding my own flair and ideas as I go along.
