Terrific model! Time well spent.

Scott, your Jack Werst and Jerry Stein cars are absolutely terrific! Made me a bit wistful though. Jerry is a good friend of mine and he helped me quite a bit when I was a beginning Stock Eliminator racer. Super good guy! I got to meet Jack Werst at E-Town while I was the announcer from 2000 till closing. He was a great interview telling all sorts of great stories about his own history and the great cars and characters of Division One! I certainly miss R P and all of the great people that I met during my tenure there.

Very nice! I saw a 1:1 Charger convertible at Carlisle this past summer. It seemed like Chrysler missed the boat by not making these. WF

Final Build of the year was Pure Heaven - literally!

Top notch! It presents well! -
Turned out very well. I like it a lot!

Thank you. I'm pretty sure that it AMT . I got the body from a model car junk yard
-
I like it! In the sixties and seventies there was a fellow from California that ran one of those. His name was Ed Sigmund and the car was called Snarpeezel! How do I remember this stuff?

One of my least favorite kits, but you made it look fantastic!
-
Really well done. Great looking replica!

Looks like a fun build!

I've been building model cars for over 60 years and I can't come even close to painting like that! Awesome! ( maybe in another 60)

As modelers, we try to capture realism in our builds. You definitely accomplished that! WF

Thanks everyone for taking a look and commenting!

There actually was an altered wheelbase car from Portland OR called The Gunfighter, It was my inspiration for this build.

Sharp looking dragster!

This was my NHRA Stock Eliminator car. I owned it from 1977 until just this February. It was a real A12 440 6bbl car. Ran one season with a HEMI (too expensive). The model is what I imagined it would have looked like brand new. I do have plans to build the race car version as well.

Super clean and well done! The effort that you put in is evident!
-
Thanks to everyone that replied! This was one of those rare (for me) builds that just seemed to build itself. Everything fit together perfectly. It was actually ...dare I say...fun!
-
Everything about this build is legit. Like a time capsule!

This is absolutely my favorite thread ! I love all sorts of AWB cars! I did this one many moons ago.
-
Clean build! Would look right at home at any dragstrip in the U.S.
-
I really like this one! Brings me back to 1968!
-
Very well done. The paint and graphics look amazing!

I found out that my photo storage service lost most of my pics (that was money well spent ?). I took new pics this morning. They are better than the old ones anyway. This is a Modified / Sports car. This class was for Corvettes, T - Birds and other cars that NHRA deemed to be Sports Cars. Essentially Gas class cars. Eventually these cars were dumped into the Gas classes. I made the headers from solder, the roll bar from metal tubing and the tonneau cover is sheet plastic with rivet detail via a pounce wheel. I printed the decals too.
