Thank you Marurice, I painted the Red and Purple panels, and then I cut the pinstripes from the Slixx decals and the BTK/ Wanted/ Dodge decals worked nicely. The sponsors decals were terrible and I ended up using decals from other Slixx decals sheets I have in my stash.

Thanks Christopher, I agree it was a beautiful car and has been on my build list a very long time.

Thanks Scott, it’s mine too, it still needs a little attention. The Blue Max is what I call a filler, I try to work on simple builds as I do hard ones to fill my drying time.

Thanks Zippy! This one wore me out!

Thank you Larry

Man Ron you are on it! I was rushing to take it to Acme, the coil mounts to the right fender apron that didn’t fit. I couldn’t get the drive shaft loop to fit in the tunnel with out keeping the drive shaft from alignment with the rear end. There is no rack and pinion steering and I couldn’t get my dry sump oil lines to work. I still want to complete all these items but I just needed a break from it. They don’t pick up the models at ACME so I got away with it.

Thanks Mike!

Thanks Jimmy!

Your modified bodies look much more accurate to my eye, thank you for sharing your ideas. I may try that myself, great work!

Kit bashing at its finest, I like where you’re going!

That’s such a great kit, you did an awesome job on it!

That turned out Beautiful Bob!

Cool build!

Beautiful build!

I’m with you Michael, I was lucky enough to get to participate in those circus’. Still holding on to those days. I agree with your take on the Comp Resin bodies, I’d like to see your progress on that Camaro body.

Really nice build Michael, definitely on my build list.

Thanks Michael, I love your builds! You are correct that big a tire wasn’t available in 71. I built the car to replicate the 1972 version, since I started with the original 71 Demon the bumper is dated 1971, as they did back in the day. In late in 72 they introduced the 14 x 32 drag tire , I am probably pushing the size but it looks cool

Great builds, I’m partial to that 55 though, great stance!

Love your build Michael, great replica of an old drag car! A man after my own heart,Very nice!

That’s a wild ride for sure!

Very nice build, great detail!

Very cool build Ron!

My second build was started in 2022, I started with the Billy Meyer Funny car kit, and Slixx decals.

What a crazy year in the life 2024, was for me wife and I. I only finished two builds this year and worked very hard to get these two done. I hope to get more builds completed in 2025. As always comments and criticism welcome. First up is theBilly the Kid 72 Dodge Demon Pro Stock. Over a year to complete this build, Original MPC 71 Demon kit combined with an AMT 71 Duster kit, and a lot of scratch building.

Beautiful build!
