Mike 1017

I like it !!!!

I took a break from Drag Cars.I have always wanted a 1:1 Black 62 T-Bird and I'll name her MIDNITE.I built it box stock except for BMF.The paint is HOK Black Basecoat.I spent 4 hours photographing this car.It seems that any BMF flaw,dust,light panel lines,fingerprint smudges really stand out on a black paint job. And knocking off the mirrors while handling and polishing is just another added bonus After fixing these flaws I was finally satisfied with the photos. Thanks for looking Mike

I did some research on 1970's Chevy Funny Cars and they were running 427's.

I am going to build his 1970 Corvette Funny Car.Would he be running a Chevy 427/454 or had the NHRA mandated the 500 cu,in. block by then? I did do a Google search and did not find a answer. Thanks, Mike

I FLIPPED A PIECE OF CARPET OVER AND PUT MY TABLE AND CHAIR ON TOP. THAT IS HOW I DEFEATED THE CARPET MONSTER

YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB.GREAT DETAILING

I would hate to look in my rear view mirror and see that on my tail !!!! One mean machine

Again thanks for the comments. Nice catch Dominik. When I came back inside from taking pictures I was wondering what that yellow crumb stuck to my finger was. Lee, 1017 is just part of an ID I use for work.

While watching the Mecum Auction I saw a Z28 with this color cobo the car was stunning even on TV. I was pleased how the sun really lit up the paint. Thanks for your comments Mike

This is the first non race car that I have built in a while.I am starting to get the hang of BMF.Thanks Don Youst. Thanks for looking Mike ,. . .

Thanks guys. Your comments greatly appreciated.

If I were to own a speed shop. This is the kind of Model T Hot Rod I would build to showcase my shops building skills. Parts: 59 Cadillac motor,tires,and wheels. M.A.D. distributor. R&McoMD. air cleaner.Parts box decals and headers. I think the headers are to cartoonish looking. So I wil be looking to replace them. Thanks for looking Mike

On my previous post I used the same picture twice. This is the one that I wanted Mike

While searching for Funny Cars I decied to build a locally sponsered Match Racer.I started with the Chi-Town Funny Car.The engine is fully wired and plumbed. I wrestled for about 2 months with the paint scheme. I used HOK colors and clear coated with their Interline Clear. The Slixx decals worked out perfect. Thanks for looking Mike

What do you think of the cars quality?

It looks great . This is my favorite Funny Car body. There are so many racers that used this body you can build a fleet of these cars. Looking forward to see it finished

WOW 26 pages of drag cars. Great work guys Here are some of mine

Can't wait for it to be done. I have lost or broken so many pairs of persciption that I've lost count.I use those "Reader Glasses" to builld my cars.I think they go up to 3.75 magnafication Wallgreens,Osco,Wallmart and the Dollar Store sell them.Look for 2 for 1 newspaper coupons Keep up the good work Mike

Looks good.I have both of Don's DVDs. The 2nd shows how to BMF a car.That alone is worth the price

Great looking Gasser. I have both Don's DVDs. The 2nd one shows you how to BMF a car.That alone is worth the price Keep up the good work Mike

Nice job on the Larry Morgan car. My 1st drag car that I built since getting back into the hobby 8 years ago was the Super Clean Olds I found some pictures.

That is one outrageous Gasser!!!!!!

Gotta love a green Gasser witn green tinted windows. Nice job

You are on your way to a great build

I'ts coming along nice Good work
