Nostalgia Fuel Dragster--Blower Manifold (01/28/23)
John B. replied to Straightliner59's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
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!
-
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.
-
Thanks! The body is not chopped, narrowed or sectioned; it is basically a stretched 924.
-
Thank you!
-
Thanks!
-
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!

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.

Very clean and nicely done!
-
Thank you very much - I'm learning a lot just from observing your Camaro build as well as Daniel's dragster. I'll be posting my next project soon.
-
Thanks - I really appreciate it. Your dragster is a benchmark for workmanship that I will strive for in future projects.
-
Hi, All; The car as seen here is completed. I'll polish it up a bit and post it in the Drag Racing section in the next day or so. Many thanks to those who stopped by for a look and especially those of you who left a comment. They were very inspirational. I'll be posting a new WIP shortly. Thanks again!

The variety and scope of your projects are very interesting - looking forward to seeing what you do with them!
-
Very nice build!

1961 Lincoln Continental convertible restoration
John B. replied to Paul Payne's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I have a 61 Continental that was given to me in a bag - literally! Your build is very informative and interesting. -
Thank you much! Here are some photos that I took of the car next to my 2008 Kaase Boss Nine Mustang. It's almost finished.

Incredible work, sir - simply incredible! -
If I didn't know it was a scale model, I would've thought I was looking at Tim McAmis' website! Nice work!
