  1. Thank you for your kind words and for photographing the car for the club's website - I hope to be at the next meeting! Your Porsche was awesome!
  2. If this one is anything like the first one, this promises to be really good! Looking forward to it!
  3. WOW! The detail in the interior is incredible - I'm learning a lot just by following your build!
  4. Nice builds - thanks for posting!
  5. Yes it does; still needs a tweak or two.
  6. Magnetos ready for installation, fuel distribution blocks in place; starter pulley, input/output shaft and injector hat mocked up, valve covers painted. Next is engine painting and mag installation. thanks for looking and comment welcome.
  7. The NHRA rules for TA/FC for next year have been amended to include injected nitro cars: minimum weight is 2,400 lbs., maximum engine displacement is 456 cid, maximum nitro percentage at sea-level events is 85% with 95% at high altitude events (i.e. Denver), no electro/pneumatic clutch management systems or electronic fuel control systems and no transmission; direct drive only. Body style can be 1969 or later. Otherwise, all other TA/FC rules apply.
  8. Thank you for your interest, Barry. This is a photo of Randy Meyer's new injected nitro car that he ran at a Funny Car Chaos event earlier this year.
  9. Thanks for posting - I remember buying one of those MPC Corvettes back in 1980; it was a great kit! I'll have my first update in a day or so - I'm in the process of painting the engine.
  10. Many thanks - your Vega project is awesome!
  11. Thank you very much - I'll do my best!
  12. When the NHRA decided to allow injected nitro funny cars to run in the Top Alcohol Funny Car class next year, I was ecstatic! I have always wanted to build such a model, but until recently, there was only one example of a modern injected car and it ran about 24 years ago in the IHRA. This is going to be my attempt to build such a vehicle. I have started to build the engine's intake system from Evergreen styrene and modified a Dodge Avenger body with a shortened greenhouse to clear the intake. Its my first WIP attempt and I'll try to update often - thanks for looking and comments welcome.
  13. Thanks for following me!

  14. Wow - that's really cool! I didn't even know that this kit existed. Coming along nicely!
  15. Very cool!
  16. Very nice - the main thing, like you say, is that you are having fun!
  17. A childhood friend of mine had one that was that exact color - nicely done!
  18. Nicely done!
  19. Nice Nova!
  20. Lots of very cool and imaginative builds - love the motorcycles! Looks like you folks had a lot of fun - thanks for posting!
  21. Very nice - the engine swap fits like a glove! Nice work!
