Update time, I got some work done on the engine. To the left are the fan, generator, crank pulley and fire extinguisher all done in acrylic, to the right are the 2 valve cover breathers and the oil filler tube and cap done in Aluminum, all parts were turned on my lathe. I think these parts should add a little detail to the engine. All comments welcome

Great slot car, what chassis is that it looks perfect for a gasser.

Outstanding build on one of the great American pony/muscle cars.

This is one awesome drag car, great engine details.

Time for an update, I scratch built the drop front axle. Time to do more engine work, all comments welcome.

Ray you often say this is not your best work, no way you can say that about this. I love everything about it, paint and decals look great it has the correct stance, it just has that period correct funny car look awesome.

Very nice build, great engine details. I don't get to see a Colt built often enough, cool.

Yep another nice build, I can't believed I guessed you would like these decals, .

Well done, your paint and decals look amazing.

Your entire build is amazing, the mods to the bottle look much better, well done.

Amazing what a few decals do for the look of the build, well done.

Time for an update, the first 2 pics show the body mods. 1. opened up the wheel wells for the slicks 2. removed the windshield wipers 3. filled in the hood hinge area 4. installed the splash pan, and added the point to the front fenders just below the splash pan 5. added the eyebrows for the head lights Last 2 pics show the basic engine and the molded on starter ( I hate those) I removed the starter and filled in the hole, added the intake, front cover and water pump. All comments welcome.

Great work so far, I like your interior.

I like all them well done.

Paint looks great, nice deep shine.

Looks pretty good to me, nice interior and paint.

Coming along nice Brett, should look good with the decals.

I like it very creative.

Well done Ray I like both of them, I to like the one with the 6 in it.

Thanks Brett I will check that out.

Great build, I really like the paint.

Thanks guys, I agree Ray this kit does look pretty good, so far better than any of the older repop kits I have built.

I like both of them, don't see to many Maverick builds cool.

Wow it's hard to know what to say after seeing this build, your craftsmanship is amazing, I will be watching for your next update.

Hi Gene, to removed the exhaust I used a combination of sprue cutters and a set of mini chisels. Over all I think this is a decent kit far better than the super judge, The windows appear to fit very good that was a surprise, chassis to body fit is pretty good also, it has a nice front suspension and you can make the front wheels steer, both doors are hinged to open, decent rear suspension. A real nice set of pie cut slicks. The kit has lots of custom parts like roll pans and 4 bucket seats and it even comes with the half glass roof. A few minor bad things like a decent amount of flash and sprue points to fix. I will post a pic of the body when I get a chance for you.
