Fuel Coupe

WHO DAT!!!!!!

got some color on it today. Its enamel (yech) and its a bit orange peely so its gonna need to sit for a week or so then be color sanded decaled and cleared...

Way better looking than right out of the box. great job on the aggressive wing forward setup..

Hey, Watch it... Thats crazy stuff. YALL can have it...

9.90 @ 134.3 ex. super gas racer...

HAHAHAHA I couldn't help but laugh.... Nice station your building too...

When yall get one of these up there lets talk HARD.. Seriously. Dig in and poke your heads up when its over....

With that 392 you now have my attention, Will you be offering say a front engine dragster chassis to accommodate that fuelie 392. of course then we'll need slicks etc, etc.... What scale is it 1/16 or 1/8. I'm VERY interested now.....

Fletch, This is turning out to be a really nice build...

Jim, The covers been made for a few weeks now. Its flat sheet styrene with strip around the edge. I think I posted a pic of the cover in the Hollish Bros. Build thread. Cant remember though..

Thanks for all the responses. Looks like I have several options to try. Naturally I'll post the finished product. Thanks guys!!!!

Eric and others, Heres what Im trying to replicate. Looks like I can play with some metalizers and some white spattered with a stiff brush?

The Hollish Bros. Coupe I'm building has a galvanized metal scoop on top of the injectors. I would like to replicate that finish, If anyne has any ideas I would appreciate it.. THANKS!!

Ive been knocking the idea around of making this show. Looks like a great time. Plans are already in the works to go next year...

Here's a small update. Keeping with the "smallest amount of aftermarket parts as possible" I opted to sweat together (plumbers term) a set of fuel fittings. I cut down a moon tank to better replicate to 1:1 It looks like I'll need to work on the drag link to correct the bump steer

It is weathering pigments. Ive been wanting to add a little wear to my builds so I'm going to give this stuff a try...

The intake looks alot like the one in the mean and nasty camaro or any of the 80's camaro P/S and the STP or Pennzoil Firebirds. The carbs are the same Dominators that are in all the above kits. A couple of swipes from a saw and you have them...

THATS THE SPIRIT!!!

The valve covers can be reworked, the carbs can be split and the intake can be fabricated... Those are your best choices out there...

Its also in the Red Hot Thunderbird from Revell and the 80's issue P/S from Revell/Monogram

I got the message I had won but yea it was the only car in the class. Oddly enough last year that class was stacked. I told Matt I wasn't entering but could not stand to the THE BEST class at the show empty so I left it with Matt,

Yea same guy, But DANG hes gotten ugly in his old age. You know, You'd think that with all the drag stuff Ive been posting lately I would be getting lots of trade offers but I haven't gotten the first one. Folks is skeered. Back at ya Eric. I had to get going, I had the family waiting on me. Plus it was best I did leave as the venders were getting all my money.. Did your truck place. It was a really nice build...

These guys know how to do it. Great show even better Gumbo. A real must do show for you guys looking for something to do early in the show season. Right down in the industrial area of Westlake La. Eric Stones Wicked Little truck. Great to finally meet you.. Bring your money. This is the first show of the season and the vendors are hungry Thanks again Matt, You guys are the best...
