Nice job and looking good John!! on a side note, seeing the bug made me want to as if you know if anyone made a 1960's bug and if not whats the best kit that would be the closest to it. thanks

Great start for the slammer. Slammers can be fun and quick builds

Very Sweet. that turned out great. Thanks for the tip

That turned out very nice

Really Like the Paint scheme.... Looks great!

Very Nice Build. Looks great so far. really like what all you are doing to the kit. You can never go wrong with '55s. Like the Turbo and bag set up.

First Impression was Model

Very Cool build. Clean and simple. Looks great! I like it.

Thanks Kanedge

Oh Cool!! Thanks for those pics. Thats exatly what I was looking for in regards to the body/pivot mount. I have some Reference pics of a Nostalgia Front Engine Dragster if you ever need some. I just need to finish scanning them since they weren't digital pics.

That is awesome!! what scale is that?? and are those turned aluminum rims too?

Thanks Wayne, I had no idea that Prudhomme only ran that specific car for just a short time. I was even looking for some old magazine on ebay that may have some old articles on. I picked a few up a while back but didn't have everything I was looking for. I can't thank you Both enough for the help you have provided. thanks again.

Brett I can't thank you enough for that link. There is alot of reference material on that site. Thank you so much. That is going to be a big help for the detail I am looking for and to do.

Very Cool Tutorial!! thanks for sharing with all of us. Your cars look great.

Thanks Wayne. Brett, I have found a great deal of pics here Snake Racing Collection. I am trying to find more detail pics of the rear end, brakes, brake lines, inside of the body with all of the structual supports, what the hinge looks like that the body piviots on. some better shots of the engine mounts. Where the seatbelts bolt to the frame. Would love a pic of the chassis with the body off too. My other option has been to try and find Funny cars of the same era and just use the details I can from them. Was wanting to make it as accurate as I can if possible. Thanks for your help.

Very Nice looking Merc!

Thank You, I will go check it out

I have to agree with Bob on this one. Lets see some new drag kits. I would actually love to see some new 1/16 scale drag kits personally

Hello All, As the topic states I am in need of pictures of Don Prudhomme's 1974 Vega Army Funny Car pics for reference. I have recently started a new build and am needing more reference pics for this build. I have found some great pics at www.snakeracing.com but there isn't enough pics of the chassis and some of the detail I am looking for. I would appreciate any help I could get or where else to look since I have been racking my brain Googling for pics that I can't find...lol. or even any other Vega funny car pics. Thanks in advance. it is appreciated. I will also be starting a thread on this build hopefully in the next few days. Not sure if I should post it here or in the Big Boyz section since it's a 1/16 scale kit.

I have to agree, I just got my first 1/16 scale set from Jim today and they are gorgeous. I would like to see him do a few other styles of drag race rims . I would buy and definitely recommend them.

Hey Jim aka MicroNitro, I wanted to thank you for the beautiful 1/16 scale funny car rims. I got them in the mail today and they are gorgeous. they will be going on a project I just started this past week. Will be starting a thread soon. Thanks again

Awesome! It's a great program for sure.

Very Nice!! Great looking paint job and flames. Is the Video posted in the how to section?? I would like to know see and know what you use to mask them. I have a project coming up that I want to flame and was thinking of using bare metal foil. Actually trying to copy a car out of a magazine.

Great build so far and its looking great. What CAD program are you using?? I use SolidWorks myself.

Paul... Love the rivi... Gotta Love the chain link steering wheel...LOL
