That looks kool. I wonder what body style that is…

Looks great, digging the lettering…

More great work…

Very kool project…

I seen this in my latest issue. Its such a great and clean build…

I the stances is Perfect. Nicely done and clean build…

Such a beautiful clean build…

Here are the gas shocks I made for this build, made out of aluminum round stock and rod. These are easy to make, fully functional and sturdy with out using any glue, you can polish them or paint them. If anyone is interested I can do a how-to on making these, they take a couple of hours to make a nice looking set…

The shocks are made from round stock aluminum tube and rod, they function like real gas shocks and there is no glueing. I will do a how-to on them if anyone is interested. I Really like your imput on the different classes. I was striving for an early 60’s pre-funny/altered build but just couldn’t find a category it fit in, so I’m just stuck on course to finish this one as it started because everything is all fabricated and being painted. My next project I’m already researching and gathering parts for. Thanks for your input on the classes, everyone has been helpful as to pointing me in the right direction for different classes this could run in…

This turned out great. Amazing work

Great work on the chassis and engine.

Just amazing…

Off to a great start. The body work is on point. Iv seen pictures of this car and had no idea the extent of how much work and technicality went into it. Looking forward to the finished results…

Wow, everything is coming along, great looking paint, decals and foil work…

When I started this build I had a plan set that it would be one of those cars that showed up and they didn’t know what class to put it in. The engine set back came from Chrismans comet and the long ladder bars I made was from looking at lot of the early gasser class. I’m still researching on what I can class this as on the nitro slots page that Ace-Garageguy posted for me. It will be running a buick nailhead with a super charger, Enderle barn door injection and a in & out box. According to this page I’ve been reading it could be classed as a A/SX being 65 or older coupe or sedan that has been super charged and altered “pre funny car days”is what I’m seeing but I’m just grasping at straws at this point. When I get it all done and the body ready to paint you guys can see what I’m going for and try help me class this car out. I wanna run a number and class. I’m planning on building another one like this but a different car but I’m going to be a paying bit more close attention to the mistakes I made on this car and incorporate it into that car. Thanks for the comment, everyone’s knowledge is more than greatly appreciated as I’m driving to be correct in a far out way lol…

Very nice build. I will be using your technique on the funny car clip for a future build on the same kit…

Thank you for the info on the Chrisman decals.

Thanks everyone for the great comments and suggestions they are very greatly appreciated and I’m enjoying the knowledge for my future builds. I have everything ready for paint just waiting for a box of MCW goodies to arrive and it paint booth bound…

You are absolutely correct. This hobby is for what ever makes you happy and relaxes you at the end of the day. As long as you walk by your model shelf and you get a smile from what you created is what this hobby is all about.

Your post is appreciated greatly, my interest “now” are in late 50’s and 60’s drag cars and slingshot style dragsters. But accurate is what I’m striving for. I’m only building fantasy or what is what if builds but if I’m doing it I want it to be accurate and to look like you can get in the car and drive it…

Your info is greatly appreciated. I literally spent about 6 hours the other day on George Klass web site and the rule books on here trying to figure out what class this fit in. I was going for early 60s type pre funny car build, but a gasser class could make since.The inspiration for this build come from Jack Chrismans comet, which I plan on doing if I could ever find the decals, also thanks the info on the floaters I will incorporate into my next build as I’m planning on building another one of these cars…

Thanks for the info. I never thought about the length but it makes since and the floaters would make since as well. I will take this knowledge and apply it to my next build…

Hello everyone. I am building this coupe it kinda fits in what class a A/FX or S/SX class, pre funny, I don’t know. I altered the back half of the chassis 12’ and set the engine back 10’ . I scratched built the rear end housing brackets shackles and the ladder bars and also the front leaf springs, shackles and the straight axle, working on the shocks now. More to come…

Awesome work…
