Brett.... this is such a killer project and it is looking great . Your brass work is looking good. I have to give tou credit doing the frame in brass. I am loving the progress you are making and the chassis looks great with paint. Looking fotward to more.

This is totally cool and looka great. I love the stance.

Ray...this is a great start to this build. Nice work

John... i am excited to see this project come to life. I know you will knock it out of the park. When I first saw this magazine. I thought of you with this same car. Lol

Mark... beautiful work. That tank and mounting straps look great, that fiberglass on the body looks great too. I would of loved seeing this in person at GSL. I need to attend the next one.

Dave... thank you. I am hoping to have most of the fabrication done by tomorrow night.you caufht me red handed that those riveta are gonna hold the speakers up ...lol Bill... thank you bud. I will sure be glad to be done with this tin work lol

Paul.... Thank you for the kind words on this. I will put whatever % nitro it will handle Ok Fellas... so I worked a little more on the tin work tonight and making progress so that is a good thing . I was pretty much working with my frame structure getting where it needed to be and then I have added some locating pieces to keep it in place until I get the rest of the sides built for it. Here's a few pics and thanks for looking.... I first started out with taping my center tin structure to the frame in place and then I added a few small pieces of plastic to hold the tin work in place: Rear View and you can see one support piece on each side which will be removed after I get more of the tin built: Here is the front of the tin work with the two added supports keeping it in place. Now the gaps you see between the body and the fire wall area will be filled and I will be gluing pieces of plastic in place so that the tin fits snug to the body and you won't see any day light thru the sides : Here is the rear of the structure being held in place with the chassis removed: Here is the rear window area. I added a piece of angle in the window area and brought my tin work center structure up to it. well I made the mistake of cutting it a little short So I was getting it in place to be able to bridge that gap I made . I should of cut off a smaller piece... actually I should of sanded instead of using the razor saw . but the back window piece will attach to this cross bar piece I have added and as I mentioned panel for the tin will be glued in place then I will cut this angle away from the body and will be able to remove the tin work:

Tyrone... That purple looks sweet. This whole car just pops. You will have to take a pic of it outside and I bet the purple really stands out. Nice work and its looking killer as usual

Harry... I think this is a great idea that you and Casey have added this section.

Dave... nice work man. This is looking killer and I am loving the arm out the window.... so cool. Keep uo the killer work.

Anne.... This build is looking great. I am digging the subject you are doing. Keep up the great work.

Scott... The wheelie bar parts look awesome as well as both sets of harness's look great. Can't wait til they are made. I need to get an order placed for a few of your new parts.

Nice job and looks good

Nice build and looks great.

Art.... thank you bud. I am trying lol. Next week I will be getting a full weeks worth of building and hopefully I will get some paints on parts.

Marcos... i am so impressed with this build. The paint if flawless and gorgeous. Killer work.

Jim... Thank you so much for the kind words about this build. You are welcome for sharing my progress. Thank you for following along on this one. I enjoy sharing my progress with everyone and if someone can learn something from how I build thats a bonus. I know I have learned so much from many people here Steve... thanks man. I will say that the tin work is always tricky....lol John... Thanks Big Brother. I am excited to almost have the body tins almost done. So tell me how big of a Uhal did you and Art have to bring back from GSL Charlie... Thanks Man. You are so right about Tins being tricky. I can't tell you how many time I have sanded and test fitted and felt like it wasn't gonna end...haha You are right that the tin work is a model it self. I may need to leave it out of car...haha Dave... Thanks buddy. This build may have two coffee table books....haha Rodger... Thanks Man

This is one killer build and it turned out fantastic. O r of my favorite parts on this build the hint of tire rubber on ther rear quarter panel. Looks awesome

Lou... you need to go to The Snake Racing website. Prudhomme rebud that Mongoose car and its in his collection. Here is the link Mongoose funny car: http://www.snakeracing.com/72-mongoose-duster.asp Snake collection: http://www.snakeracing.com/collection.asp

This is totally cool. Looks like a great start to an awesome build

That is a totally cool build and I bet it would be a wild ride. Nice work.

Scott... Nice looking pieces... I will PM you for prices.

LOL Bill.... You don't know how bad I would liked doing this out of brass or aluminum. I just thought it was easier to go with plastic since I wasn't sure how I was actually gonna do the tin work and started off by winging it.

Tyrone... That orange blend looks killer. I can't wait to see the purple on it now. Nice work bud!

Thank you Mike... I hope to get some more done tonight.
