  1. Very nice - everything fits together like just the real thing!
  2. Very nicely done!
  3. Very interesting - nice work!
  4. Nice dual turbo setup.
  5. I'm thoroughly enjoying this master class on detailing!
  6. Small update: Test fit of driver figure and engine long block.
  7. Nice work on the injector scoop - if my Porsche's engine comes out a quarter as nice as yours, I'll be happy!
  8. 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.
  9. 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!
  10. 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.
  11. Thank you very much! Your "Build The Covers" series is very intriguing - it takes a lot of patience to build those.
  12. 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.
  13. Many thanks - like I stated previously, it was your dragster that is going to influence everything that I build going forward. German racer Rico Anthes was the guy who raced a Mercedes alcohol funny car; I remember reading about it about 30 years ago.
  14. Thanks! The body is not chopped, narrowed or sectioned; it is basically a stretched 924.
  15. Thank you!
  16. Thanks - actually, the 924 was originally designed by Volkswagen, but Porsche bought the rights to the car. I used to own a 1980 model and had a blast with it!
  17. Hi, All; This is going to be a rebuild of a model that I built almost 7 years ago for a show hosted by a club that I formerly was a member of. I want to build it more correctly as a funny car that would've run in the early to mid 1980's and with better craftsmanship. These are some of the original build photos. Thanks for looking and comments welcome.
  18. Very clean and nicely done!
