JDS Racing

Great job Derrick!!

Thanks Jim for the info, I emailed the guy I got the body from to see if he had some more info, this is what he told me: He got it body from Brian Gittings of Milestone. Brian handled all the overseas manufacturing of their products having previously done the same for Action Performance. I got to know Brian when CSK Auto (you would remember us as Kragen Auto Parts) decided to sell diecasts of all our CSK/Worsham Racing Funny Cars back around 2000. I did all the original artwork for the cars and then worked with Action's creative department on the spec sheets and paint/tampo diagrams for their Chinese production facility.

Hey Chris, well this is the only one left. It would be kool to build this up! I grew up there as well, never left. I now live in Prunedale off of Crazy Horse Canyon Rd.

Well, this is a very rare Milestone Development Firebird Funny Car body pattern. This 1/10 scale body was hand carved then casted in resin. What I was told from a friend that knew someone that worked there is, that they would first start off by designing in 1/10th scale to show their customers. Then this was the pattern that was pantographic down to create the tooling for the 1/16 scale production bodies in China. Now I was told from the person that I got it from, that it was given to him 10+ years ago by one of the owners of Milestone. So what am I going to do with it?? Who knows? I will just set it in my shop for now as a conversation piece ….

Look what I picked up off Ebay!
