Hey Francis, I’ll be following! I’ve been thinking my next project was to be a 71-72 Demon Pro Stock, I have an original built up with hacked up rear wheel openings. I’m not satisfied with the front grille, the tail light panel at the very least need’s thinning, and the front wheel openings are incorrect. I’ll be anxious to see how you tackle these issues and I hope you don’t mind if I steal some of your ideas.

A great big shout out to everyone at Slixx Decals, I pestered poor Becky, and she was so gracious to me! The decals are beautiful, went on effortlessly and look awesome! I’ve got my motivation back!

You know I’m loving this…..are you sure you don’t want to put a Rambler motor in it?

I really like this concept, I love injected nitro cars. Tony Stewart recently went to the finals in his first drag race, in an injected nitro dragster.

Little progress, still waiting on the Slixx decals to be printed…..

Just Amazing!

Just beautiful!

I don’t think I have ever seen one built stock before…… Very cool!

Nice save! Looking great! I like your attention to the important detail.

Love Kit bashing, looking great !

Very nicely done! I like it!

Looking great Bob!

Very cool project, I’ll be following.

Looks great Curtis !

Looks great!

That turned out nice, very cool!

Looks like you’re missing the AMT Tommy Ivo rear engined dragster.

That turner out really well, beautiful work! I love your collection also, very impressive!

Thanks everyone! It makes the extra effort to post the builds worth it.

I have some days off and I’m trying to get as much done as I can! I made arm rests for the door panels, smoothed the dash of its gages, and painted the seats. I set the ride height and attached the rear axle assembly. I primed and painted the engine flat black as my reference photos showed, and I primed the intake.

When I built my California Flash Duster I used Fred Candy decals, as that was all I had. Within a week or two of completion Slixx Decals released the California Flash decal sheet. I started this project with only the Drag on Lady Dodge Dart decals thinking I could make them work. Along the way I acquired an after market set for the Hornet to fill in the gaps, where the Dart sheet wouldn’t cover. I heard a rumor Slixx was doing a decal sheet for this car and I contacted Becky at Slixx and sure enough the decals are out for approval and should be ready in six weeks! They also have decals to cover the number two car, the Gremlin , and the AMX. I’ll try and be patient.

I love it. I too, kinda like AMC drag cars, and this one is out of the park! Great work!

Thanks Barry

Finally getting some decent weather. I miss Georgia, I could paint year round there and I had a modeling room that was air conditioned. Here in Indiana I’m working in the garage without any climate control. I bent up the main hoop for the roll bar, located some seats from a Johan Sox & Martin Cuda, which match the reference photos I have. I also moved the dashboard back on the side panels for a better look. I scratch built the package shelf. I painted the body Model Master classic white. I used my paint booth for the first time and I’m pleased with the results. I did get a few dust specks but nothing that can’t be corrected.

I like what your doing here , I’ll be watching!
