Tom, it is right next to the 71 at the Morse Road/Sinclair off ramp. It is about 6 stories. From your area should be about 3 hours I am thinking. Look forward to seeing you there. Mark Harmon

There is one run by Dan Horan, Jr in Calif. and maybe one other. The other was called Nitro Pony and was in the midwest, but he sold the car a couple of years ago so I am not sure about the second.

I am going with the cammer. I worked on it this weekend and it is looks like it should be a good fit. I will have pics soon of the chassis with the cammer.

I wanted to add a picture of my chassis as well. I started with a Revell "current" funny car chassis and have rebuilt all but the driver's compartment.

I finally have some time to post! Several of us in the Buckeye Scale Auto Club (BSAC) spent most of March and April doing events. There was one stretch we did 4 events in 3 successive weekends. And I actually found time to work in between. I am now back to the workbench and into my latest project. I caught the nostalga funny car bug a couple of years ago and started this project. It sat on my shelf for quite a while and I have now decided it is time to finish it. The body is made out of 2 Revell Mustang bodies.

That is really cool. I remember the car in "the day" and it was one of my favorites. God luck with finishing your build!!

Thanks a bunch. I just ordered a set on e-bay. Good luck with your project. Mark Mark

I did use the kit decal plus about a gallon of Micor Sol and Micro Set (the drag race modeler's best friend). Takes time and a lot of patience, but I got it to pretty much lay down. there is a small tear in the right front and a really small wrinkle in left front that aren't really too bad. But the bottom line is it CAN be done, just don't be in a hurry. Mark

Maybe I missed it, but where did you get the front wells from, or did you make them yourself? They will look great on that cool pro mod.

Really nice looking Diorama. Our club (Buckeye Scale Auto Club) has a drag strip diorama we update and add to every year. I can't imagine doing a new one every year. BTW the cars look great too. Looks like a club theme build. Mark Harmon, Treasurer Buckeye Scale Auto Club (Columbus, Ohio)

This is my of trying to play the same game a little differently. A chassis and full engine detail don't always make a great build.

Thanks for the kind words. I got tired of detailing the motors in drag cars and needed more "immediate gratification" when building. Also, I knew the Polar Lights Mustang kit can be very challenging.

I didn't realize there was a fade on the Fast Eddie's Cougar. Doesn't look like it in the pictures (probably due to the light) do you have a picture that shows the fade a little better. I am thinking of building this car as well and didn't realize this would be a fade paint project. Thanks BTW If you aren't the best painter in your club, I would really like to see the paint by the best painter!

Nice build. What paint did you use. What color is that. Does anyone else in your club paint as well as you do? Are those the kit decals?

The Chassis shot was lost with the engine and interior pictures. Thats the problem with doing a slammer. Those shots get lost on the "cutting room floor."

These are the only pics I have. No engine photos because it is a slammer. No interior and no engine.

All the decals were on the kit sheet except for the tires. No aftermarket or old decal box for me on this one.

I have been a member of the forum for quite a while and haven't posted forever. I am currently the treasurer of the Buckeye Scale Auto Club in Columbus, Ohio. I have been trying to get back to building. I just finished this Blue Max Funny Car. The kit is the Polar Lights Blue Max Mustang in Testor's Blue pearl and the kit decals. Built this one over the weekend so it is a slammer with no engine or interior detail.

I build a lot of drag cars. This is exceptionally nice! I was just wondering what you used for the body tin work.

I know I am more than a little late to the "table" with this one, but is there anywhere on line I can get HOUSE of KOLOR paint. The hobby shops in town are all sold out and can't get any more. Any suggestions?

It could be the picture, but the side panel behind the door looks solid, no removable fender skirt. Great Model!

I tried the masking tape route and it really didn't work out. I did a rear half vinyl top with a chrome (like the 56 Crown Victoria) bar across the door. After just a week or so the masking tape lifted in various spots and looked like there were bubbles underneath. So today I tried the paint but with a variation. I primed it from a distance, used the faux fabrix carpet spray from Scale Motorsport from a distance for texture. I then primed in white from a distance and airbrushed the final color over all the coats. To me, it looks great.

Looks like a model to me. The exhaust tips give it away for me.

Great suggestion on the Krylon. I assume it is ok over white lacquer (i.e. won't yellow). Is it cool enough over decals?
