  15. Yes 70 1/2 Camaros had low back bucket seats so it has to be a 71 to 73 . There was very little differences in the interiors, the most noteable changes were in the front grills of standard and SS cars RS ,which this model represents had same grill I believe ,someone may need to verify this.

  21. IMO Professional drag racing has been in trouble for some time, and NASCAR, if their not careful may fall into the same fate. Fuel cars use no OEM parts whatsoever,nor does any of the technology carry over into production vehicles, the bodies don't resemble any production car other than decals representing grilles and headlamps as well as badging to tell you what it is that your looking at. Add to this billboard size lettering to further obscure the identity, and I don't know why any manufacturer would have any interest in drag racing. Since this is Indy weekend lets look back at the last 10 years of funny car racing,between 2001 and 2011 John Force cars have won FC in 02,04,06,07,08,09,10 and 11. Of the 16 car fields 8 cars are owned by two teams, Usually filling the top 8 spots. Their is no start up teams that can compete as its cost prohibitive. I quit attending NHRA events as aside from the smoke and noise IT'S BORING! I enjoy the stock and super stock class racing more now than ever before. All you have to do is look in the stands at a major event and the empty seats speek for themselves. I have started attending Goodguys And Nostolgia events and they are so much more entertaining and accessible. At a recent Hot Rod Reunion event in Bowling Green Ky. I was able to spend time with racers who were there for the fun of it and not to impress sponsors, the cars were identifyable,painted beutifully,and well prepaired. I spoke with Tommy Johnson Jr. Who had no NHRA ride and was driving for whom ever would let him just drive.A great weekend that,if you haven't been to one of these events you need to.NHRA needs to back up and rethink the professional categories, the electronics,the body rules blower and fuel pump size,tire size. Reinvent these classes, how about a 5.0 mustang motor on fuel with factory supercharger, the new engines the manufacturers are building are capable of a lot of horsepower and in a FC chassis and redesigned mustang body,could bring new interest and life to a dying sport.
  22. Where or what did you use for the blower belt,this is about the most realistic I've seen. Oh great build by the way!!!
