Cool! A Stocker! Muy bien, yo me gusto mucho! WF

Absolutely terrific! WF

I made the "Honest Injun" and the red Pontiac head decals using my lap top and printed them on decal paper. WF

Pretty much box stock with a few exceptions. I used a Revell Parts Pack Pontiac engine with scratch built headers. Engine also has fuel system and plug wires. Its a little too high for my taste now that I look at it. Next one will be a whole lot lower! WF

I can't believe that started out as a Revell 'cuda. You turned it into "jewelery"! Nice! WF

Thank you! Fred Goeske's '69 road runner was the only one that I have ever seen. It was also a National Record holder. Not bad for a "barn door"! I also have a soft spot for 69 road runners, especially orange ones. This is my '69 A-12 car. WF

I bought the body for a couple of bucks from someone's scrap box. You know what they say: "One man's junk is another man's gold" or something like that! WF

You may have seen this one before. I did this one about three years ago. I used a "scrap yard" Johan body and a Polar Lights chassis. The decals were custom made for me. Paint is MCW "Go Mango". Thanks for looking! WF

Thanks for the kind words! Once again, I'm happy to have a section devoted to drag cars. WF

No matter how many times I see pics of this model I am always blown away. One of my favorite models of one of my favorite Funny Cars! WF

Nice to have a drag car section! Here is my first post. Its an AMT '56 T-Bird with suspension and drivetrain from a Revell Henry J. WF

Brian, great work so far! Just a quick comment from a long time Mopar lover and a 6bbl owner. Regarding the spark plug wires. Wires for cyl. # 1,3,& 5 and on the pass. side, 2,4,& 6 should come a bit further forward before looping up to cross in front of the cylinder heads. In real life, yours would burn up from the exhaust manifold heat. The #7 and #8 wires should come up around the back of the cylinder head and run down the valve covers towards the distributor. The coil should be turned 180 degrees. Hope this helps. WF

Not normally a fan of the big wheels but they look so right on that car! Great build. WF

I love being able to access internet radio while I am building. Lately its been Rockabilly! WF

I was really proud of the tie rod ends that I scratched, then I saw this! Oey. Incredible fabrication! WF

Your vette is fantastic. That was the car I lusted after when I was in Jr. High school. It was a new car when I was in Jr. High. I've been in love with that car for forty years! WF

Looks great! I have to get some of those. Might be a nice change of pace. Might even get me back on a Harley! WF

Really nice! Looks very much like a car that a friend of mine had in high school. Got totaled by a drunk. What a shame. WF

My first post on this forum is also my latest build. Just completed last week. It is a phantom or "What if?" race car. I altered the wheelbase to make an early Funny Car. Something that AMT might have done back in the sixties. Like the AMT Funnies, it uses a Rat Packer chassis and drive train. Some added details include: photo etch gauge cluster and harness. Wired and plumbed engine, scratched front axle, and bed cover. Thats it. WF

Boy are you guys a bunch of name droppers! As a die hard drag race fan, I have to believe that I have the greatest job in the sport (maybe the whole world). Since becoming the lead announcer at Raceway Park (Englishtown NJ). I have not only been able to meet and interview most of my drag racing heroes but a lot of folks from the entertainment world as well. There are very few in the sport that I have not met or talked to. Surprisingly, I have never met John Force although I had a great interview with daughter Ashley this past season. She did the color commentary for Alcohol Funny Car at this year's Lucas Oil race. Some others that I was able to meet: Chuck Zito (OZ), Chris Titus, Indian Larry, wrestler Nick Foley, Mario Andretti, and a bunch more. We had the shop crew from O.C.C. at one of our races last year. None of them but Vinny would get on the mic with me. Vinny is a cool guy. The only thing that he wanted to do was run his Berreta down the track! Funny, but I can't remember the names of any "rock stars" or politicians that I have met at the race track! WF

The drag race model junkie is here! WF
