How sneaky of him - hiding it in plain sight like that

Thanks for the tips - looking forward to my visit, and to seeing drag boats at Wild Horse that weekend

I'll the there the week of the 19th, so I'll miss that Thanks for the tips!

Would anyone happen to have an email address for Chuck at Altered States Models? The web page doesn't list one. TIA!

I bought several of their items from eBay without an issue, but then I had an issue similar to Ben Wicker's - had to open an eBay case to get a response. They put out nice product...but you pays your money and takes your chances

Hi all, I'm going to be visiting Phoenix, AZ next month, and was wondering if anyone can recommend any local hobby shops? TIA!

Chuck does a fantastic job on his decals - superb quality and interesting subject matter. I just picked up one of his Vel's-Parnelli Jones Mustang F/C sheets.

Anyone know if there are any resin-casters that make a Baldwin-Motion style hood for the Revell Nova kits? TIA

1964 Ford Galaxie wagon

Thanks!

Question for the group - are there any currently available 1/25 kits that have a small block Chevy with a separate front cover and water pump? Gathering pieces for a T-bucket, and with the engine "out in the open" I'd really like to have the 2 separated. Thanks in advance!

Bought one of his Slingster Resin Truck bed T Comp Dragster bodies from eBay - great quality, almost no cleanup needed.

Here's a link to a short Hot Rod Magazine article on the Turbonique: http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/engine/hrdp_0403_turbonique/viewall.html Interesting to note that it didn't use peroxide as a propellent - that was used on the rocket dragsters/funny cars.

They're reasonably easy to find on the big auction site at reasonable prices

If memory serves it's a 60's vintage Buick V6, complete with fuel injection. I think it was derived from the 215 V8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick_V6_engine

I like that...a lot!

Looks sweet so far - definitely interested in at least one of these. Are you using the chassis from this kit?

Sweet, I like it a lot - great job!

Just found this - it the web page for the Stone Woods & Cook nostalgia Funny car team http://swcnitrofunnycar.com/ There's a section devoted to build photos - lots of great detail shots including the interior

Chad & the Bangshift guys do an awesome job of covering the action - plus it's live and FREE!!

I'd also be curious to learn if any of the resin Monza funny car bodies offered have been modified/enhanced, or are straight re-pops of the Revell body.

I remember seeing decals for this car at one time, are they still available? I've poked around the usual sources with no success

Sweet! Definitely want one, plus the Hustler decals
