Tye Brown Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Man that thing looks wicked dude. Love the colour & you did all this in 5 days man?? Far out I wish I could work that quick man & still turn out work like that hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I built many of the Monogram '80s Funny Cars when they were new, and applying the decals was always the best part. I remember when Hot Rod Magazine had a centerfold poster if McEwen's '57 flopper- I couldn't wait to hang it on my wall. Looks like you've made some nice progress so far.

rmvw guy Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Nice start, it looks good! I have to admit I'm a little jealous, I had one in my stash, opened it up to find a big piece of the body missing through the injection process. I need another body!

brett Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I like it !! Bummer about the decals (I know what thats like) but I think it looks way cooler now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Now that looks cool. The flames give it attitude!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Looking good! I like the flames and the paint color. I finally got mine started with a box stock approach, I think I like yours better. Are you going to add wires? Just wondering because I need some reference and was going to look at yours. I don't know much about fuel lines on this one either I will stay tuned, nice progress so far.

slammedi'am Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 Thanks man...Prob not gonna add wires on this one....Started as a quick build but got pushed to the side for about a year now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I know what you mean about getting pushed to the side. Sometimes I just want to go back to when I could just build them without the details. Just finished a snap kit and I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
