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!

Somewhere I missed this post, this is probably the best build of this kit I’ve seen. Great job!

Hey Michael, can I ask what blue you used on the bodies, it looks very accurate?

Wow DA, a man after my own heart. I love accurate builds! Looks great so far, love the tin work. Body looking good also!

What a cool project, this is gonna be cool!

A very cool project Marty, I too have accumulated parts to do this same build, so I’m curious how this come out. Excellent work!

Very nice builds!

Beautiful work!

Thank you Carl

Great build, you don’t see many of theses built.

Looks great, that ones on my build list also.

Thank you! I tried to replicate what they actually did on the real car back in 72. I used the AMT 71 Duster Kit, I removed the rear frame rails with the backside of an XActo knife, narrowed it, glued it back to the floor pan, and scratch built the floor and tubs. I also scratch built front spindles to get the front end lower.

Very cool project…..

Thanks Bob, I learned a lesson.

Thanks Terry!

David, it’s pretty much all listed in work in progress, but simply it’s an original MPC 71 Demon body and hood,AMT 71 Duster chassis and interior, with lots of modifications.

Thanks Jimmy!

Thanks Bob! I wish I could run it by the garage and show it to ya!

Thanks Rory, Tim always does an amazing job covering events, if your not already following Throttle Power, you should! I’m not sure if you could hear the dialogue but I really wanted to take something new to the show, but this is the only Kit I have worked on all year. You really need your model to stand out when your competing with over 800 models and I wanted a base for my build. My daughter and I kicked around some ideas and I didn’t have time to do the base, so she volunteered and it came out great. It was her first time working with gold leaf and hand lettering, I really appreciate her help !

Thanks Scott! Hey just do it, get started on those old pro stocks, they were so cool back then!
