  1. Great looking Dart..I'm building the blue Landy's 67 Hemi Coronet..I got STS doing the decals as we speak..I have his Charger and I built his Hemi Dart which is on the forum..Your Landy Dart is spot on and the detail is outstanding..Job well done my friend.
  2. Sir, this is one outstanding Pontiac build..I love you went with that 70's racers look..The car has that plain Jane look, but your attention to detail made it stand out..Job well done my friend!!!
  3. All I can say is WOW!!! Outstanding build Zippi..That black is popping..Stone, Woods & Cook has always been my favorite gasser team..You did them proud!!!
  4. Good Evening Forum I wanted to show a couple of builds that I did 15 years ago or more. Al Hoffman Pontiac I am a big Warren Johnson fan and when Hoffman got his GM Performance Parts sponsorship I knew I was going to build a kit of his car..Started with the Western Auto model kit. Used some Warren Johnson Olds kit and some other decals to complete it..It's one of my favorites because I really loved the way Hoffman raced. Gene Snow tribute Started with KC Spurlock kit and adapted the Snowman decals to the Avenger body..I wanted this model to have a crazy amount of sponsors on it to look as if Gene stop using his own money to race. I don't do a lot of Funny Cars, but every once in a awhile I have to scratch that itch..Enjoy and feel free to comment.
  5. Bro, your 55 is crazy sick..I like the stance, color combination and engine detail..I never thought about using the 80s Pro Stock chassis's to kit bash with the AMT 55 kit..You know got my juices going..Job well done my friend.
  6. My friend, this is one of the best Bob Glidden builds I have ever seen...Your detail is on point..Especially the spitting of the 1150 Dominators..Back then in Pro Stock, engine builders would cut them in half and place them closer to the runners to work like fuel injection with the intake runners. David Reher of Reher & Morrison Pro Stock fame told me this.I work on my buddy Keith Raftery NHRA Top Sportsman 68 Nitrous & 2021 Procharger Camaro.. Reher & Morrison freshens our 784 & 862 Nitrous motors..Your paint is outstanding and overall model is phenomenal..Mad Dog was the man is Pro Stock, but I'm a WJ fan..You sir hit it out the park on this build..Job well done.
  7. Really nicely done..With me being born & raised in Chicago, these guys were my drag racing heroes..I don't know how many times I've seen them at US 131 or Cordova drag strip..Your paint is on point, I like the 3move to widen the rear slicks and the decals fall in place..Job well done!!! John Faconkas, Austin Coil & Pat Minik would be proud.
  8. Welcome to the Billy the Kid club on the forum..Drags,that is one outstanding BTK build..The decals look great and I hope you didn't have the same problems with them like me and some of the other guys..The paint is on point, stance is perfect..Again outstanding job..
  9. Zippi, I'm so sorry that you went through that with the decals..I've ordered from them with no problems, but things can change..That gasser is on point my friend...The paint is awesome and the whole build is outstanding..Zippi you hit it out the park with one!!!
  10. Mike, that is one outstanding Mustang..Bro, I don't know where you find the time to build so many really good builds..Job well done my friend!!!
  11. Sir, that is one nice looking Pontiac...I really love the rims and wheels..The stance is on point..Job well done my friend.
  12. Scott, that is one nice Sox & Martin build my friend..You got my creative juices going to build my own..Couple of questions, Did you back half or mini tub it? 2nd the motor, Where did you get the Ross Gibson hemi? 3rd, What size are the rear slicks and where did you get them? Again an outstanding build.
  13. Thank you sir..After 40 years of building models this was my 1st attempt at kit bashing on the 55..Followed the Fred Henry tutorial..I am pretty happy with both builds.
  14. Thank you Steve, you should put upload pics of the 66 for everyone to see..I know I would love to see it.
  15. Thank you sir, Roger was definitely a talented builder..The one thing that is great about this forum is that your body of work will remain here forever..I bet you 100% Roger appreciate your friendship.
  16. Drag Paks can fall under Super Stock where they can run in the SS/DA (automatic) or SS/D (stick)..Both classes have and index of 10.20..They also can run Factory Stock Showdown which I said before run heads up with COPO Camaro's, and Mustangs..Drag Paks started running around 2009 in the NHRA, NMCA and you were in the FSS/AAA class.The HP determine which pulley you could use..If it was the 540 hp motor with the 2.9 Whipple charger, the upper pulley was 3.000 inches..The 630 hp with the 3.0 Whipple the upper pulley is 3.500 and lower was 7.530 inches. In 2011 you could get a 512 inch motor with standard equipment like a TCI power guide tranny, strange 9" rear end 9" rear slicks and open headers..In 2015 they offered either the 354SC or 436 Nautural Aspirated motors..99 % of the FSS cars use the 354SC motor..I hope I've answered your question.
  17. Love the color and stance..You're right nice & clean right out of the box..Outstanding job my friend!!
  18. Bro you build is really nice..For your 1st drag car really nice..For classes you can Google NHRA classes indexes or NHRA Factory Stock or Super Stock..You will get a breakdown of class indexes..If you type Factory Stock indexes you will see halfway down the list Factory Stock..It will show the class like FS/AAA..Google pics of Factory Stock cars and you will see different cars for the class..Factory Stock Showdown cars are a heads up class with Mustangs, COPO Camaros and Drag Pac Challengers that motors that can't be no bigger 350 cubic inch and supercharged on a 9" tires..Make 1500 hp and run 7.70's @180mph..You tube is great source.. Again outstanding build..
  19. Bro, your Mustang is outstanding..The only thing it's missing is the Cal-Tracs bars for wheel hop..I see you put some FS decals on it..Instead of XX, I would put FS/AAA because it looks like you have an automatic in the the car..If it was a stick it would FS/AS..The build is really a nice rendering of those FS cars..I'm on a NHRA Top Sportsman team and love watching Super Stockers/Stockers run..The detail you put into this build is outstanding..Great build and I can't wait to see what comes out your head..The reason I would put XX on the car is because NHRA uses that for experimental cars...If you're calling it that, then you are correct. Not knocking your build because again, it's a Bitchin build!!!
  20. Sir, I must say you did a really good job on the paint..I did the decals on mine build and had problems..I really like the wheelie bars you put on yours..There are probably 3 Billy the Kid builds on this forum that you should check out..Again, very nice build and welcome to the Fourm.
  21. Mike, your triple build is really nice..I'm a Pro Stock guy..I really like the Vegas. You got me thinking, I need to get mine built before I find something else to do..Question, on the 72 where did you get the front rims from? I like them alot.
  22. Dragcarz, Outstanding job..The stance is on point and the engine bay is nicely detailed..Paint is outstanding..I like the big meats also..I was wondering, What kit did you use to back-half the kit? It looks like made especially for your build.
