Thanks Dave, you're right it's not period correct, I believe it was used as a cacklefest and matchrace car. It has a modern narrow frame. Here are two pics of the bottle placement, behind the driver.

Just saw this build. Looks great !!

Really nice job and photos.

Looks great so far. Love the color. It already pops!

Here ya go Tim. Also got the air bottle done but couldn't find any correct decals for it. I assume it supplies air to his helmet? Or compressed air for the chutes? I failed to ask the builder the day I was at the shop. Dave Sherman, can you shed some light on it? The knob on top was the head of a small nail.

WOW you must have terrific eyesight or Hasselblad lenses in your glasses. Great detail. Great job.

This looks great and probably a handful to drive.

Guys, I've made some progress on this funny car lately and will post pics soon. I have the seat installed, the brake lever and most of the harness done too. Inspiration came from seeing all the great builds on here and going to Bruce's Dragfest back in November. And thanks to Tim for his guidance.

Looks great Tyrone.

Superlative, awesome work. Love seeing these updates and thank you for letting me visit the Den of Fantastic Automotive Art again and showing me how to make coilovers and answering my questions. Your work and enthusiasm is contagious.

Love these updates Chris. So much to see and learn. Love it. This is a build that needs to be stored on a dvd for future use. Some day hope to see it in person.

JOHN, WOW !!! I need to get on here more often. This build is fantastic. One worth studying.

Awesome results. I'll be over to help paint the floor flat black. Then the metal parts will show up.

Those last mockup shots look great. I might have asked before, but how long will this beast be? Three feet?

Fantastic. Love it.

Not only do you put smiles on our faces with your work, but I see one on Abe's face too (the penny) !!

Dave, WOW. I'm too busy studying your work to look for new words to describe what I see on your bench.....

John, WOW it looks great. I agree with people that say they can't wait to see it done, but we also REALLY enjoy watching all the posts along the way. Love your work buddy.

You never disappoint Bruce. It looks great.

Viewing these posts is so dangerous, Gabriel's head popped off and my eyes popped out. My stupid question - do those decals come in 1/24 scale?

Tim you've ruined a lot of jaws on here. We have callouses on them from hitting the floor. I had to put a pillow on the floor in front of my chair. Outstanding work on the pulleys and clamps.

Tim the headers look great. It was great to see your reaction to some of the cars at Dragfest and how you look for details on the 1:1 cars. It's obvious you were absorbing information to pour into the builds we see on here. It was a great show and seeing Garlits and Larson together.....legends. And to Joe - that Sidewinder is wild looking. I can't imagine driving that thing. Very short wheelbase. I feel blessed to be able to learn from the guys on here and to be able to go to shows like Bruce's Dragfest. Can't wait to see more Tim.

CHRIS - John is right. You can tell that you put a lot of work into it. I'm definitely no expert but the plumbing looks ON. Things are parallel and perpendicular where they need to be. If this build had been on display at Bruce Larson's Dragfest this past saturday, it would have garnered a LOT of attention. Can't wait for more.

John, man, your work gets better and better.

Great work John ! I have to look at all the details again to soak it in. Where did you get those gold colored disks? AC Moore?
