Wow. That's really nice. Great job!

Thanks Jeff, any shots with the body off?

Did you use the Winged Express chassis or did you make one?

Great start, I'm very impressed with the new scribed lines on the rear doors. How did you do those?

WOW that's nice! If you notice my avatar I'm an altered fan! Crewed for AA/FA for several years, then an Alcohol Funny , Alcohol Dragster, and one year on AA / FD in the eighty's. It's a lot of work . I wasn't a show up on Sunday guy, I worked on the car every night that was needed. Is it summer there?

That's supposed to be your car. I don't know where dad came from.

Thanks, it coming along. Looks good. Is the car in the avatar your dads car?

Hey Aaron, any progress ?????

Hi James, thought I might show you what I did on two of my Vega Funny Cars. Maybe this will help with your ride height correction. I think the Revell Funny Cars are 1/24th scale, not 1/25th as advertised. I don't care for the two piece silks that come with the original kit, so on the Barry Setzer Vega, I shortened the rear wheel openings about a quarter of an inch, and used slicks from an MPC funny car. On the Pisano& Matsubara Vega I left the wheel openings as Revell had them but raised the rear axle mount points by removing the mounts from the frame rails and reattaching them as high as they would go without having to modify the frame rails, and then I used tires and slicks from current Monogram style funny car kits. These slicks are much bigger than Revells, and to me, look much more realistic. Hope this helps!

Very nice

WOW. Very nice, you can tell by my avatar I'm a big fan of Altered's.......

Love this , I'm watching.......

WOW Very nice!!!!!!

I'm watching

Yes they are 1320 Diecast, started collecting them before they started reissuing the dragster kits. And for the record I miss St. Louis

I like it!

I use an old store display case , and another display case fron a jewelry store.

Yes I do also. I actually have two notebooks. One for inventory, where I list the kit by manufacturer,the kit number, what I paid for it and where it was purchased. The second notebook lists the built models, the date I completed it and a list of modifications, parts other than kit supplied and the paint used. This notebook also has projects I want to build, ideas, parts needed ,decals ect. and notes or references and sometimes photos or pictures. These books go most places with me because you never know when inspiration will strike.

Gorgeous, can a guy use that word? Very nice!

Really enjoyed seeing this, thanks for posting !

Thanks John, it took 10 years to get to that point, I've got a great wife that was always looking for things I could use. I have the stuff , just need a place for it to go.

My old work space in Illinois. I had to move to Georgia for work, and all of this is in storage for now.

I like this! Can't wait to see more .

Looks great Mike. I never paid much attention to this kit, probably because it's a snap kit, I wonder how the Revell Cuda kit would fit under this body? Hmmm

Tyrone..... You OK? Out of the box build????? I felt better when I saw the Cal Trac bars.... Your scareing me here. Looks great though and I love the color!
