Thank you! The shifter knobs are off the front end of a hot wheels car called "Rigormortis"

Ok so I finished this one up today. Please be aware this is only my third drag car build and I still have a lot to earn.

I love this build!!! So cool!!!!

Thanks guys!!!! I put alot of work into both of them. And yes the belt just fell apart. At some point I will make a new one.

I've seen that most of you use a wire bent 90 degrees and then you have tubes on the doors that slide over the wire. My question is: How do you know where to put the wires and how far to make them stick out so the doors operate properly? Thanks!!!

Just looked at this thread. All I can say is WOW!!!!! Beautiful builds!!

Outstanding!!! I love everything about this build! Nice job!!

Nice job!!! They look great!!

You are off to a great start! I'm gonna keep my eye on this build as I LOVE drag cars!!!! I love that you recycled a build you were not happy with!

John, do a google search for the Revelleader. The car has it's own web page and is up and running again. If you need the marines decals I think I have an extra set. Thanks everyone for the accolades!!!

This thing is AMAZING!!! The turbos and cage are awesome!!! Thanks for the how-to on the turbos. I'll be making a few myself for other projects. I can't wait to see this little delivery done!!!

Tyrone, Love this build!!! I am learning so much watching you build these. I am officially a fan!!! Can't wait to see this one painted.

I'm almost ready to wrap up my '58 Plymouth pro-street. I figured I would show off the only other drag cars I have built. The Ventura was built 20 years ago. The Funny car 6-7 years ago. Thanks for looking!

Got some more done on this one:

Thanks! The front wheels are slot car items from Pro-track. They fit the kit tires almost perfectly!

if you bring them to NNL East please put my name on one Ron Lambert

Tom, That is gorgeous!!!! Fantastic build!!!!

I LOVED that movie!! You really did a fantastic job on the model!! Love the paint!

Sharp build! LOVE the colors!!!

Me too! I love these types of cars!!!

Stunning! I think black is my favorite color on the '57. Yours came out very nice!

Good eye Richard! If you look closely, the back edge of the floor pan is inside the body. When installed properly the floor pan sits even with the outside of the body (the back bumper hides it.) This puts my front wheels a little further back....then the struts tilt back towards the firewall. This puts the front tires ALMOST dead center of the wheel wells. (At least it did at mock-up LOL) Thanks for the feedback!!! This whole process of building one of these is completely new to me so I'll take any ideas, corrections, mistakes you guys see!!!

WOW!!! What a killer build!!! I love it! Nice job man!!!

Got the door panels done.....here's a look: More coming soon!

My '58 Plymouth project is well underway...I had a bunch of spare drag parts left over so I decided to try building a cage from scratch. I had this mint AMT '66 Falcon and decided it would look awesome as a drag car. It was very thick and cutting out the doors and trunk were a challenge. Here is where I am at so far: Thanks for looking!!!
