W-409

Wow, I feel sometimes when I'm watching this Drag Racing Models- section that I'm in Funny Car museum. Your builds are always very nice, this one is awesome too! Like that great detailing all over, paintjob looks very cool and those decals are looking like "painted on". That's good, very nice job with this (as always) and I can't wait to see more of your builds.

Nice build, great paintjob and those flames are looking very good on it. That detailing looks good too and so on. Everything is very nicely done, thank you for sharing this very good looking build.

Yes, of course. But that engine isn't looking right to my eye still. I read those every time, when I see a new topic or just new other stuff... That's not a misteke from Chris, I didn't mean that if you understand it like that. Not a mistake.

That's very good looking! I'm building Bonneville Racer from '32 Ford and that's fun project. Your is looking very nice and that engine detailing is perfect. Nice paintjob very smooth and shiney and that's perfect choice for wheels and tires of course. Nice job!

It's easy: Take a piece of that rail, where are the parts when you buy a kit from a shop. You know? What is the name of it...? Have no idea. But that rail, where are those parts fastened. But you must take clear red rail, where are taillights fastened or only clear is good too. Then put it to driller. Now I mean that kind of driller, which is bolted to table. Then you must take a file and it's just like lating wood... Understand? I can post pictures if you don't understand my bad enghlish but I'm trying to write as good as I can. I have a wordbook, but there is no all of the words. But that's my way of building them, it's easy and saves money.

Nice project, can't wait to see more! That is great body style. Those AMT rear slicks are looking very good on it. Those wheels are very nice ones too... This kit is "must have" but it's quite expensive, I think... But yours is looking very very good, keep it going!

This is going to be very nice! I like that you are not building pro touring, as very often people build pro tourings from this car. It's one of my favourite Mopars and your progress looks very good. That detailing is amazing!

Thank you, Derrick! Yes, those heads were put upside down, but now they are correctly, I fixed my fail yesterday...

That's very good idea! Frenching is a bit hard right now... Or well, it's possible... Thank you for that idea. I can make those taillight myself...

Here is a little update to you guys! After that last body work update I have sanded and put more bondo to this about five times... Now it looks pretty good, but still there is lots and lots of work to do. That diving board is quite good right now. Frontend of the car is not so good but I try to make it better. Those headlight visors are not good looking, I mean there is still room for more bondo and styrene. I made a little plastic piece to that firewall also, because now it looks quite smooth and that's very good when building customs. I must fill those holes, wich are for hood hinge. Underside of the body is not so good, I must put some more bondo to there too and there are very many things to do, as I said. But here are the pictures to you... Now I would like to hear some comments and specially it would be nice to hear any ideas for the body. I mean, all ideas are welcome, and taillights, I'm not sure what kind of lights I put there so throw any ideas to me...

That's very nice looking Fuel Altered! Great job with this, good detailing on the engine and perfect wheel and tire choice! But only one thing: I think, that engine doesn't look very good because, it's hole chromed. I mean there is only chromed parts. That looks unreal in a drag car. I f this would be a show car, then OK. But very good job all the way!

I always paint these tube frames before assembling them together. If I must warp those frame halves, I paint these places, where the paint leaves again. That's my style of building these... And I don't slow down. Thank you for that tip, I was a little suprised when those heads were a little... I must turn them in better way. I'm not great with Hemi engines, that's the problem, I have made before also... That's not a new thing and from that building speed, that head mistake, it's not because of "too fast building speed." Continues soon!

THAT PAINT IS AMAZING!!! How someone can paint like that... Paint is nice, smooth and shiny too. Engine is looking very good too, great detailing on it. This is very good looking Miss Deal FC, I have built one too, but that was a bit of fail. Yours looks very good!

Yes, this kit was sealed, but I got PM, where one guy said that those are not from 426 Hemi. I think, they are looking like a bit weird, but that's one of the same right now, I have changed them. So, valve covers are those, I thought put to Burnout Bird, but then I saw aftermarket resin covers to that Bird. I took those to this one and Burnout Bird has resin covers right now. Blower is also in place... That frame is painted by brush, oh painting was horrible... But now it looks ok. Those rear tires are very large, that's good. But they are bigger than those, I'm planning to '60 Impala Pro Modified... Of course those Pro Mod tires are wider than these slicks. Frame picture is taken by lightning of the camera, that's why it looks like white in some places... Of course all reference shots are very welcome...

Thank you, guys! I have to look at the reference pictures. There is a part, what is removable for a better display. That's a great thing, because otherwise my details are under that part and no one can't see them. I got very important information too, valve covers are not from 426 Hemi. Must change them... Thank you for comments, I try to continue this build.

The story of this build: I saw this one in google once. I watched pictures from rare model kits... I saw there this one. I thought "Wow, I must get that one some day!" It was so nice, I'm a great fan of Ramchargers- cars and Front Engine Dragsters. Now, about two weeks ago I and my dad made an order to Modelexpress. Dad bought '60 Impala and decals from Decals By Lucas. They are looking very nice both. I thought, I order Revell's Hemi Dart, but it was "Sold out again"... I saw this one, I was suprised, it was like wow. -TO ORDER- Got it today... It's very good kit from MPC. I like very much that 426 Hemi engine and those tires are looking very nice too. MH Racemaster slicks to back and to front, there are Pirelli tires... Great looking! Is this an older release from AMT's Hemi dragster...? I painted the engine with spray can, colour is the only right one for Hemi; orange! It's quite good, I must just paint some clear on it. Maybe... I didn't paint the frame by red, because my spray can paint was a littlebit bat... All pictures are here. There you can see, what's in the box.

Awesome, as always John. The same story as with your all other models. It's nice to see '62 Chevy from you!

This is very very great! Paintjob looks good and colour is good too! That engine detailing is perfect, and that idea for '66 Falcon to door slammer is very good too. There are lots and lots of nice details and so on. Thank you for sharing this awesome build.

Your builds are always very great! This is very great too. That paintjob is perfect and it's looking so real. That's just perfect build! Thank you for sharing.

This is not amazing or awesome... Because it's something more than amzing or awesome! This is so nice, that shiney paintjob with those little rust holes is very good. That engine is very good looking, all those colours are in right place and it's just so good. Detailing is perfect on this and that all weathering is looking right. Great old school styled Budget Hot Rod. Great job with this. Thank you for sharing this one!!!

Thank you all for the comments! I think, I leave that radiator silver... The story of the engine is that is just like that in the kit. I just made it boxstock to that point, exept those plug wires but otherwise it's box stock. Don't know, is it really right looking but with this model, I don't care. I have to continue this build soon.

Ooh, that paint job looks perfect. This is very interesting project too, it's nice to see you building older stuff.

Wow, your alcad work is amazing! How you make it to look like that? This is very interesting build, with your skills, this will be awesome looking when it's finished. It's nice to read and look how these are turning out.!

Oh yes! I just remeber how those Jairus Watson Atwork Challenge builds were on the workbench section. So put your builds here!!! Sorry.

Allright, you are on the list. I put my car too, it will be Chevy Corvette Roadsport/V8. This style. When your name is on the entry list, and you start building, put all information and pictures from your build to this topic. It's nice to see that here are a few entries right now, but it would be cool to get here more people to the build...
