  1. i sure hope Dominator changes his mind about doing this.
  2. I was searching around myself and i believe you are correct because while digging through my maverick parts today i noticed i have a standard promo style maverick interior with bench seat.
  3. That turned out extremely well.
  4. That looks great
  5. No it's a maverick grill.. Here is a comet grill vs maverick grill. The grill with no markers is probably from a 70 promo maverick and was swapped onto the johan at some point..
  6. Your comment got me to thinking about the blank grill so i checked my 2 johan rebuilders and this is what i found. 1 with the lamps and 1 blank grill. Both cars are the johan pro stock mavericks "Tinker's Toy" so i wonder why the grills are different?
  7. Very nice job. I watched this car race at my local track years ago.. Great job on your build
  8. Nice save Gary.
  9. oh man now that is cool! You did the right thing just cleaning it up.
  10. I like it
  11. that looks great
  12. Here is mine.
  13. That's a beautiful build! Very nice work
  14. People die on the track just as easy when your dealing with high powered cars... This show got alot of people intrested in drag racing again and has brought new fans out. I watch the show because im a drag race nut but it has never influenced me to race my car on the street. Personally they could show an hour of nothing but cars racing for an hour without a word being said and I'd still watch. The reason these roads are being closed off is simple because everyone wants a piece of that cash cow. I agree with you i could live without the extra hype but its tv and thats what alot of americans want nowadays. At the end of the day it's a money game and street outlaws has done for drag racing about what ufc done for boxing and put a little life back into it.
  15. Alot of FAST cars in this cash days.. Larson is a dragweek legend and for sure one of the heavy hitters.
  16. The show has done alot for drag racing. I have been around drag racing since the 70s and smack talk and even fights have always been a part of racing. When these guys travel to local dragstrips they draw insane crowds, go on youtube and have a look. I hear alot of people saying the show promotes illegal activity but anyone that watches knows the roads are closed and safety crews are on the scene so it's not being done illegally. Street racing was happening loooong before this show was even a thought and will continue long after this show is off the air. Do these guys put a little extra hype into the smack talk? Sure they do! I've personally seen Ryan martin run a 3.70 @ 220 mph in a 1/8 of a mile thats 660 ft. ? so they are legit! These guys pack the stands and generate big time money...
  17. Very well done
  18. The bodies on those pro stock cars were a little different than the production bodies, thats one reason they were able to get them so low. Your build is very nice, you did an outstanding job replicating this car.
  19. I can't say nothing that hasn't already been said.. Wow those hinges are works of art. Once again you have outdone yourself. Absolutely amazing skills.
  20. 65 impala/biscayne 63 impala 67 Plymouth wagon 64 impala 64/65 ish lincoln 61/62 olds not sure about the rest.
  21. Nice improvement to the seats. I can't wait to see this finished.

  23. nice work
