That's really sharp!! The flame decals look awesome!!!

Nice work so far. I love these classic drag cars!!!

I like where this is going!!! I love the color and decals!!!!

Scott this thing is so cool. I really need to gather some cash so I can place an order with you in the near future....

Thanks everyone. I have always loved full sized cars. I love seeing them go down the 1320 even better. Here are some updates: I got the basic engine assembled and painted. Now it's time to start throwing detail parts at it: Here is the bug catcher. I added some height to it so that it would be taller than the roof of the car. I'm going more for WOW factor than accuracy: Here is the chassis and floor pan all painted. You can see I REALLY had to stretch this thing: Here is the completed dash that's a piece of aluminum with some Slixx gage decals: Here are my completed wheelie bars: Here it is mocked up. I'm thinking ALL black, including the wheels: Thanks for looking guys!!!

Oh yeah!! Caddy wagon! I'm locked in!

I've got one of these in my to-do pile as well. Looking forward to what you do with this!!

That is one sharp looking wagon!!! Is it the Modelhaus kit?

That is one gorgeous model!!! Would you like me to check my local hobby shop for the color for you?

Very nice!!!

VERY, VERY nice build!!

I'm with Tyrone, Fantastic job on the chassis! I've got a long way to go before I can bend up a cage like that. Keep on posting! I like where this build is headed!

Ryan, That's a really nice build man!!! You should be proud!! It came out awesome!!! Ron

Right on!! This thing is AWESOME!!! How did you do the bead of weld on the front intake tubes? I was blown away when I saw that!! Fantastic build!

These both look amazing!!! I can't wait to see them wrapped up so I can see what you've got next in store!!!

You got that stance just right!!! I love this build so much!!!! Makes me want to build another 1/16 funny car!

Pretty sure I saw this on one of the tables at NNL East. Looked even better in person!!

Now that I am back from NNL East I can get back to this project. I started it while I was wrapping up my '58 Plymouth. The Imperial body is HUGE, as a result the first thing I had to do was stretch the frame and floor pan from the pro-sportsman kits. The fit between my floor and body is pretty sloppy so I decided I would use the dash as a locator. The cage may not be 100% accurate but doing it this way made a positive mount for the dash Here is the frame. I really wanted a top fuel style wing on this big car so I added the back of a T/F dragster chassis. You can see the Imperial body on the left. Behind it is the next drag car in waiting. Here's the frame with the body work in place. Started on the wheelie bars Hopefully this week I can start painting components. This will be a full on race car so no door panels or carpet. Just go fast goodies. Thanks for looking!!!

Tyrone! That is looking so good! You have totally inspired me to attempt a couple of these builds! Your photobucket site has been a fantastic inspiration!!! I, like you, LOVE door slammers, the faster the better. My builds may not be 100% accurate but I sure am having fun learning and building something out of the ordinary! Can't wait to see the '55 painted!

Cragars look good on anythin!! Nice job!!!

Just went through this whole thread. AMAZING work man. I am definitely keeping my eye on this build! I'm learning alot about modeling AND the real funny cars! Keep up the good work!!! Ron

Mark, Just took a look at this thread for the first time. I'm on the edge of my seat now!!! Very nice build!!! I can't wait to see more!!!

That looks tough!! I wouldn't mess with that on the street

Very Very nice!! I like it alot! That turbo setup looks awesome!!!

Thanks everyone for the comments! I had alot of fun with this build. I'll be revealing my next build after NNL East!
