Hello everyone, i know i haven't finished my latest builds, but this project is been waiting for me to start working on it for almost a year, i did mentioned to a couple of guys on FB but i was waiting to get all the parts for it, well, one of my FB friends started this build of (Small tire Drag car) and this project fits perfect to it, so i decide to jump in, good thing is is winter time and i can't paint at home so is perfect timing for scratch build and glue some stuff, so here it is... Small tire Mustang single turbo I got the rear small drag slicks, need to get some wheels for those, o have the front wheels and tires, resin hood and rear wing, and lots of kit parts that i'm going to use, needs to scratch build the roll cage and a lot of stuff, here's what i got so far...

Thanks Everyone, this project have a lot to do and make a lot of modifications already... For the front suspensions i remove the upper mount and the lower arms so i can add some PE and later can scratch build my absorber shucks springs. Then i scratch build a fuel valve for the blower hat, i think i got that pretty close LOL Then i primed and painted the chassis with Brig Red so i can keep the Color me Gone original colors on the interior, now i need to add some decals and put some clear to it and start putting some extra details. NOTE: i paint this even thou i couldn't because I'm on a apartment and i don't like to shout paint in doors because is winter time here MASS so don't do this like i did, NOT good for the environment

Thanks Jerry, glad you like it Thanks Joe, this was a super fun build, learn a lot Thanks Christopher Thanks Bob, that awesome, i which i can have the chance to meet him, hopefully one day

Thank you Ron, i love all straight line Drag cars, but this ones, make me go crazy LOL, i got the chassis already painted, i'm goin g to add some decals and the clear it, i'll be posting those next week Thanks CT, this is my first chassis batching, i haven't try other then this one so far, the other chassis work that i have in my collection is full scratch build and i prefer to do those a lot more
