AWESOME BUILDS! what color did you use on the 409s valve covers and intake?

I always thought it was one of their prettier cars haha

always liked this era Chevy 2/nova Nice work as usual!!!

You basically built one of my "list" trucks! Beautiful work!

mine was a 79 coupe. 10 pt moly cage, full Wolfe tubular front suspension, 4 inch cowl, 5 lug svo front brakes, 5 lug 8.8., mini tubbed, real 18 inch 2000 cobra Rs it was a retired drag car that I was going to use as a fully gutted street driven drift car. I was going to put my 14 to 1 289 in it

haha I originally bought it for the wheels and tires. I also build custom pickups so the seat will go well in one

its from the Phantom Vicky.

My aunt and Uncle both had Fieros after my uncle got tired of MGBs. His was a bright yellow 87 non GT, hers was a White 88 GT. Surprisingly fun little cars after he scienced out the suspension.

I cant help but now I want one haha

Im not a turquoise fan, (in fact, Im not a big fan of the whole 50s Doowop type "scene" haha) but that color is awesome, I also like what youre doing with the whole build one coupe in different styles!!!

Man, did you channel Bobby Alloway for this??? you also hit the Ohio look HARD. Nice work!

looks great!

I think it is almost always more fun haha Thank you! Ive done my best in the last few years to fully organize stuff. Its hard because Im restoring a house, and my 3 buildings (shop, barn and garage) constantly moving things around etc but so far Ive been fairly successful.

this is going to be good! whats the trans off of? Rat roadster?

decided to sit down and pull some stuff out of my hot rod boxes. the blue pick up is an old Lindberg survivor, the 3 window and 4 door are Drag City Castings, the Vicky is an unknown resin. ill eventually finish the chop on the pick up and 5 window. as you can see I'm mainly into 60s era drag Inspired stuff (the plan isn't a set of billets on the 4 door) idk when I'll get back on these due to life BUT I have all the kits and parts needed between my kits and parts boxes.

still made the same way, on the same lathe and in the same building. I went into a deep dive a long time ago due to my early drag racing, land speed and hot rod roots. Present day I do some work for a company using steel spinnings, and the company I work for FT does tanks for the military out of stainless spinnings. All done the same way Moon makes their spun aluminum parts, their gas tanks included

they actually are spun on a lathe and formed which is what gives it the radial finish. Dean Moon got the idea to produce them after he made a set off a maytag washing machine lid (no joke)

looks awesome Steve!

thank you, I thought I recognized them

I like both the primer and the lavender/purple paint versions before it got redone

GOOD STUFF! You and I have similar interests in car styles. what did the wheels on the 37 come off of? Cant wait to see the Tbird done

i love that truck, even more with the first bed it had

AWESOME! in real life Id feel really bad for that columbia rear end haha

I had started doing an altered wheelbase 62 as well back when they first came out and I dont remember where it went. I wonder if thats why one of my kits is missing its body haha

Is there a photo thread of scale Drag bikes anywhere on the forum? IF NOT, lets see them! Id love to see everyones builds.
