This build will be a nostalgia car with a narrow frame, Hemi engine with single plug/cylinder, etc. Inspired by the first nitro cars I saw in the early 70s at Utica-Rome Speedway in upstate NY. The original car was based in Utica. The body came from an ebay find, the 3D printed engine, rear slicks, rims and front rims donated by my good friend and master builder Codi. The chassis and engine is somewhat modeled after the Stone, Woods, Cook Mustang F/C. The dark nighttime image is one I took at that race at Utica-Rome. The car he ran against that night was Paula Murphy's STP Duster. The race that got me hooked! Now my son, grandson, and I go to Maple Grove every September. Thanks for looking. Dave

A great idea and GOOD progress so far. Looking forward to more of these. Dave

These look great! I saw Grump once at Maple Grove years ago working on someone's car, I don't remember who. I look forward to seeing more of these builds. Dave

Tim, was the Johan kit brittle due to age? But the body that you're using looks great. Looking forward to more.

Cool! Great paint job

Thanks Bob, much appreciated.

Looks great. The panel lines look like real enough to think you cut the doors open.

Agreed with the above comments!

Great job on the interior, especially the fine chrome trim.

Sounds good. You can message me your address and I'll do the same.

They need to be 1/24 or 1/25. Three sets would be good.

Years ago someone gave our son the A-Team van kit to build. I don't know where the rest of the kit went, but I have a few parts left over that I'm willing to trade for 1/24 scale disc brakes, 4 preferably. See attached image. Dave

Hey Steve, welcome to the forum and your project is coming along great. I'm sure you have seen the importance of test fitting and mock up to make sure things fit. Using a white glue really helps as parts can be easily taken apart after the fitment check. Looking forward to more of this Camaro. Dave

REALLY nice job! Have you been to his annual Dragfest in Dauphin, PA? Usually early or mid November. A good variety of vintage drag cars and muscle cars.

Great job!

Awesome job! PS is a favorite class.

I can’t believe it has been this long since an update! The only things left to do are the wheelie bars and chute lines that attach to the rear pumpkin. I have two other funny cars started- the Int Batt/Hot Rod Magazine Firebird and the ‘70 Custom Body Mini Charger that was one of the first funny cars I saw run at an 1/8 mile track against Paula Murphy. Got me hooked!

Awesome results!! Looks great. There is a very good book about WJ called Drag Racing’s Warren “The Professor” Johnson with a lot of photos. Dave

Great job Mike!! It looks awesome. Looking forward to pics of the engine and interior, Dave

Wow Scott!! Great builds!!

REALLY nice build Kevin! Looking forward to more. Dave

Tim, AGAIN my mind is numb from staring and trying to imagine how you replicate these pieces of art that will be added to the larger overall car when completed! You are a source of inspiration, knowledge, and eagerness to share your 3D art. Dave

Francis, love your results! Those heads look great!! Can’t wait to see more. Dave

Great job Ian!!

Tim, so glad the trip to the Lebanon show proved helpful. Wish I'd been able to go. Your transmission and stand results are amazing and worth staring at. Very sorry to hear about upcoming surgery and will be praying all goes well and quick recovery. Your help on my projects has been MUCH appreciated though I feel bad they have taken a back seat to some 2 dimensional art the past few months. As all on here have said, you inspire and inform us. Thank you. Dave
