I went the gasser route with my sedan delivery....

Absolutely perfect!!!! Color, stance, detailing, choice of drivetrain and rolling stock... All are spot on!!!!!

Thanks guys... Like I said, this build was somewhat of a lifelong obsession of mine.... A decade or so after I finally finished with this build, I happened upon Model Martin's "Bug Zapper" resin VW funny car body, and instantly knew that I had to build a more contemporary version of the DuraChrome Bug.... I think the two look pretty good, side by side.....

Looks good to me!!!!! Also one of my favorite "parts kits", I have used the chassis under numerous gasser builds..... Like you, I also built one "as intended" (kinda)... I did mine way back in the early 90's...

Stunning!!!! A few details, please!

AWESOME!!!!! I look forward to picking up a copy at my LHS!!!

Another old build.... This one from back in 2006.... I posted this on the forum many years ago, but it seems to be gone, so here it is again. I had been fascinated with Warren Gunter's DuraChrome Bug supercharged Chevy powered Volkswagen funny car , ever since I had seen it during the World Series of Drag Racing, at Cordova (IL). as a young kid.... From that day forward, I had always had the desire (nearing obsession) to build a model of that wild racecar!!!! I actually started this model way back around 1988 / 89, by cutting and stretching a Revell VW body, since there were no resin bodies of the car available at that time.... I also, at that time, pieced together the basic chassis (splicing two AMT Gremlin F/C frames)..... It quickly became apparent, though, that the project was way ahead of my skill set, so the project was shelved and only pulled out and worked on occasionally over the next several years.... Finally I felt that I was ready, so a push was made to finish my favorite funny car... Hard to believe that it's been almost a decade and a half since I finished this... My favorite build!!!

WOW... Beautiful job on a finicky kit... and black is so difficult to get a good finish in scale.... I'm lovin' it!!!!

Nicely done..... You definitely nailed the late 80's street machine look!!!!

Another build from a few years ago... JoHan '55 Pontiac "hardtop", turned convertible.... Carson style top from JADA diecast Cadillac. Interior from Revell '57 Chevy snap kit... Wheels / tires from Revell '49 Mercury.. Paint is Dupli-Color. Hope y'all like it.....

Thanks, everyone!!!

DIGGIN' IT!!!!

Awesome job on the restyled bodywork on the dragster..... And the fogging is PERFECT!!!!

What if, rather than ordering their experimental Turbine Cars destroyed, Chrysler had sold them to the Public??? And what if the crew here at NitroMarty's WTH Motorsports got their hands on one a few decades later??? I imagine it would end up as something like this.... Really not much more than a bit of a shave (emblems) and a slight altitude adjustment... Rolling stock was sourced from a JADA diecast '60 Starliner... Paint is old Testors Model Master Evening Orchid Lacquer....

Another of my weird and wild creations... This one combines the chassis and drivetrain from MPC's old Winged Express fuel altered with the body from Italeri's Fire Jeep kit....

Can't say specifically.... There is just something about it that works,

As a rule, I usually not a fan of fenderless fat fender cars... You , sir, have changed my mind with this build!!!

Beautifully done, Bernard.... Your mods are period perfect!!!!

I used the chassis from Round 2's reissue of the old MPC '33 Willys panel truck gasser... worked out really well, since my build is strictly curbside.

Okay, so I can't actually claim credit for the concept, as I was inspired by a Del Swanson piece, titled "Club-de-Mer-der" Built back in 2016, for the model I combined element's from Revell's Club-de-Mer concept kit (body) and Miss Deal funny car (chassis and suspension), as well as AMT's parts pack 421 Pontiac engine..... With a few goodies from the parts bin tossed in for good measure. Paint is Kylie brand nail polish Kalypso blue, fogged down the center with Kylie brand Kryptonite green...

I'm lovin' it..... GREAT early 60's vibe!!!!

I can dig it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!! I have got to get me one of those!!!!

Built several years ago for a build off / challenge with my good modeling buddy, Frank...... This build combines bits from two of my all-time favorite drag kits...... Body is from Revell's Miss Deal funny car (I chopped the roof), while the chassis and drivetrain are from MPC's Winged Express altered..... Wheels and tires were sourced from my very deep parts box.... Paint is Tamiya Clear Red over Tamiya Gold base, with Tamiya Pearl White in the coves.... Decals were made by me on my computer. Here's a pic of the Stude together with Frank's entry into the build-off.....

There's not enough O's in COOOOOOOL to describe this one, Claude!!!!! LOVE the whole surf wagon theme too, but then again "unique" surf wagons are kinda my thing.... As evidenced by my Scout, elsewhere in this segment of the forum!
