This looks great, cool colour scheme.

Hi everyone, welcome to my new build which hopefully I will be able to keep up and do another WIP. After the disastrous effort of my last build (62 Thunderbird) which ended up being thrown across the room and stomped on, I'm actually excited about building this one. It's been about 20 years since I built any drag model, so I'm not really sure how I'll go with this, I want to make it a bit detailed, but not over the top. The inspiration I have gotten from you guys here on this site has been amazing, so I hope I can live up to your standards. I have the colour scheme worked out for this, well in my head it looks good. Essentially, the idea for this, is if it were my team and car that I am running. Sponsors are sorted and everyone is excited to be involved. Not much of a start, just been cleaning up the body and started cleaning the rollcage, very tedious. These are the wheels I think I will use, Pegasus, yet to be painted, but I think the rear tyres are too big, so I might have to go back the original kit ones. Not sure which motor I will use, kit or I have this Ross Gibson one, I like the idea of a 811 cu inch motor. I'm thinking that this build will suit the Top Sportsman class, TS/A, 'A' unsupercharged. Basically any motor, configuration, the car has to run faster than 8.5 seconds with a dial your own handicap. I'm hoping it will run low 6's. Anyway, thanks for looking, comments are welcome, please go easy on me. Kane.

Found that photo I was talking about, maybe give you some ideas? Chassis looking good so far.

Just simply amazing.

Well done on the decals, they have come up a treat.

The detail even in this early stage is awesome, joy to watch.

Looks so good with the engine in place. What are you using for the rear tyres, resin?

Great subject, I love the shape of the Willys cars. We had one in Australia in Top Doorslammer called Wild Willy, awesome colour. Should try and see if I have a photo of it for you.

Very nice build, well done.

Can't wait to see this come together.

Another killer looking ride.

One sweet ride, well done! More inspiration for me.

Nicely done!

There are so many amazing builds on this website, I'm not getting anything built

This is awesome! I have always been a fan of your work Clay, I'm glad to see it all again. I'm actually using one of your old builds as inspiration for my new build, although nothing like I'm watching here. Thanks.

Holy ######! One amazing build, nothing else to say.

Cool Greg, good to see your still building, this will be another ripper build.

Nice work on the chassis, I'm watching.

This will look good when finished, nice work on the casting.

Excellent work, look sweet.

Sweet replica, well done.

Nice work, looks really sweet.

Very neat and clean build

Nice work on those wheels.

Nice conversion on the cab.
