Yep! The idea was he would go to take off and the car wouldn't move, just spin the tires. Problem was they chained it long so the car got a a running start before reaching the chains end and supposedly yanked the rear end out.

I had lost te center piece fror the grill and while trying to find it under the desk found an old piece of fiberglass screen and thought "why not!!!"

That color really makes the little Buick stand out!

Yes Double Dragster kit.

takes me back to my early days in trucking! Awesome build! Where is the reefer unit from?

This was the old Street Freak version of the car. I lost it years ago only to have it and a few others returned in pieces that my wife's little brothers had taken them when our stuff was stored in their garage at one time. It sat in the box while I tried to find parts to restore and finally gave up on it. Well after doing a 73 Mustang stock car I decided to do the same with this one! I used am AMT Nascar chassis and adapted it to the body after opening the hood on the body! Turned out pretty nice to my own surprise!

Pretty much built out of box! It was a fun build!

Dave, I was a little nervous at first using the decals as they were so thin but they worked perfectly just using the old Testors Decal Set and water!

Great looking build! Love the red clay too!

I scored a Revell 1/196 scale USS Constitution at the Goodwill store yesterday! $2.00! Box is a little beat up but it is 100% complete! I built this kit the year before I got married and my grandma threw it away after I moved out! So I get to build it again!

This one was started and then took an almost half a decade vacation in the closet! Tried to trade it off a long time ago but got no takers so I decided last year to finish it! Was going to use a donor chassis but ended up just adding a few bars to the cage and using wheels and tires from a monogram kit. Also decals from Dave Van!

Cool collection of early rail dragsters!

I saw this on another site a while back and I will say the same. It looks real!!! My wife walked in when I was looking at it and she asked "who's truck is that?" !!!

Showed this to a friend that retired from Roadway as a mechanic and he said it was spot one as to how those old Fords looked coming into the shop!

She looks like she just came in off the road!

Now that is one beautiful Mack Truck!

Saw this on Facebook Juergen ! Just recently started posting here and had missed seeing it here! Great job on scratch building the cab and great job on replicating a 1:1 truck!

Looks like it should! A real workhorse of a truck!

Hey, it's clean because it just came off the showroom floor! Nice build! Had a good friend used to moto cross race one of those! He later becme a police officer. He says that bike was more dangerous!

It's mine mine all mine!!!

During the show there were several colours mentioned. Purple was one and in another episode where Beaver and Gilbert get Lumpy arrested Wally tells them it was black but Lumpy painted it gray because he could only find gray fenders at the city dump! So it seems black, purple and gray are your choices!

The only generation of Firebird as far as I'm concerned! Beautiful car!

Turned cold again and I need to get some painting done!

Great save!
