Super nice build! Wow, makes me want to build mine!
-
It was wholly un-intentional! Thanks for the compliments. it was fun to do a challenge style build in a short (for me) amount of time.

Thanks for the compliments. It's the first funny car I've done... now I want a few more!

This poor old girl was the unfortunate victim of a cat-rollover... so after re-glueing the windshield and roof, I dusted it off as best I could and took some pics. I did this a couple years ago for a club build-off. It's one of the very few that I've ever done in less than a month. Fast building just ain't my thing! Box stock, with some home made wide whitewalls, it got it's colours from my wife's nail polish collection. The lacquer crazed the plastic a bit, but I really didn't spend much time prepping the body, so it's all good. I notice that the green is really starting to fade... Comments always welcome.

I picked this up as a glue-bomb a few years ago. The body and glass were surprisingly good, but the engine, interior and chassis was pretty much a solid chunk of styrene and cement. I saved/rebuilt what I could and robbed the parts box for what I couldn't. A scratch built front axle and some left-over decals over the House of Kolor Planet Green completed the car. Comments always welcome.

Very, very nice!

Another stellar job! I feel like a hack after looking at your builds... -
Yep. I thought it was one of the better races over the last few years. The last lap is ALWAYS fair game for whomever is bold enough to take it, no matter what track the race is at. Lots of new rules this year and some pretty significant changes to the cars. After Jr. and Kenseth stepped away, i thought I might not be watching much anymore. But after what I saw Saturday and Sunday... I've got a whole bunch of new favourite drivers!

Very, very nice! I love all the detail you put into it, and the purple rims kick!
-
AMT. I wish I had bought a few of them.

No... the light was crappy. It's Chrysler solid white basecoat. It looks like pearl, though...
-
Built pretty much box stock, with the exception of some headers to replace the log-style manifolds. A simple kit, but fun nonetheless. Comments most welcome!
-
Watching this one...
-
That looks fantastic!
-
Nice and clean. Some pretty neat work there and I'll bet that foiling tested you!
-
Thanks for all the comments. It took longer than it probably should have, but it was fun doing it. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
-
I like that a lot. Great pick on the colour.
-
Very nice. Love the colour!
-
I used some thin strips of masking tape for the seams, and medium-dry sprayed some flat white Rustoleum for the vinyl look. The chrome trim is just some strips of Evergreen styrene.
-
Love it! Fenderwell headers, cherry bombs, long spring shackles, Cragars... Top notch!
-
Looks very good in gold. Well done!
-
Nice work!

Holy Schmoly that's nice! Tops on all counts!
