Thanks

Very nicely done - very realistic!

Looks like you're off to a great start!

I built a 1/24 scale version of that car back in 1991, using a Garlits Swamp Rat 30 kit. On April 20,1993, I went to the Super Shops store on South Cobb Drive in Smyrna, Georgia. Eddie and Ercie, along with Fuzzy and Jana Carter, were signing autographs and talking to everyone who stopped by. The Southern Nationals were being held that weekend at Atlanta Dragway. He kindly signed my model and Fuzzy told me, "nice car." That Sunday, Eddie won the race in Top Fuel. It was extra special because it was my birthday. He went on to win the 1993 Top Fuel World Championship at season's end. I don't mean to write so much, but Eddie Hill is not only the nicest drag racer I ever met, but he is also a fine human being. You can do no wrong by building a replica of his "Nuclear Banana." I am really looking forward to watching you build your version of the car. Have fun!

Beautiful paint!

Simple yet very custom and clean - nice build!

Really nice detail on the brake master cylinder and line-loc; the paint came out real nice, too!

Very nice - everything fits together like just the real thing!

Very nicely done!

Fantastic detail!

That must've a lot of fun to build - extraordinary in every aspect!

Incredible work, sir!

Very nice - much appreciated.

Very interesting - nice work!

Nice dual turbo setup.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this master class on detailing!

Small update: Test fit of driver figure and engine long block.

Very original and very cool!

Nice work on the injector scoop - if my Porsche's engine comes out a quarter as nice as yours, I'll be happy!

Hi, All; Happy 4th of July! This is the first test fit of the newly modified body with the new chassis. The new nose is comprised of a narrowed 911 slantnose front fascia with some stock 924 pieces. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Thank you very much - I believe that, like the injected nitro dragsters, once they get their tune-ups where they need to be, these cars will fly!

Thank you! The absence of sponsor decals was intentional; I wanted the car to be as uncluttered as possible. I promise my next funny car, which is a Porsche 924 and is currently in the works, will have sponsor decals.

Thank you very much! Your "Build The Covers" series is very intriguing - it takes a lot of patience to build those.

Hi, All; This is my completed Mustang injected nitro funny car that I completed this week. More photos of the build can be found in the WIP Drag Racing section. Many thanks to Randy Meyer Racing (Julie Nataas) and Mick Steele Racing as well as the NHRA for the inspiration to build it. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Thanks!
