Ian - Thanks for the comments. I've learned a lot from the guys on here. Especially Codi aka Tim Hoagland, Chris and Dave Sherman. So much is shared freely here. It's great. I wish I had finished this build a while ago, not that it is done yet, but soon will be. Tim - A big thanks to you for your advice, encouragement, and friendship. And for adding the final fuel line to the engine while coaching me on using braided line and fittings. Much appreciated !!!! Dave

Looks great Art!! Hopefully more to come soon. Dave

You are and will get great advice on this site. Looking forward to more of the build. Dave

Hey guys, I have one of the side windows attached along with Willie's arm. Comments welcome. Thanks for checking it out. Dave

WOW excellent job.

Thanks John. Always appreciate your input and very happy to see you back to it! I have all the decals now on the body, body supports attached, windshield on (even though it split on me), wheelie bars almost done. I will upload pics soon. Dave

Looks great so far.

What pleased me recently is enjoying family. Our great-granddaughter turned 1 last Friday. What a blessing!! We have 5 grandkids. God is good !!!

Looks great Jim !! The chrome trim looks great too. That's something I have little experience with, but need to try it as I have a '64 Dodge to finish and a '57 Chevy.

Thanks for all the comments and encouragement guys!! Much appreciated. Jim B - Thanks, it was a fun build. The first early modified I've done. Tony K - Thanks. I found several color pics online, some were different cars but all had the same paint scheme. stavenzer - Thanks. I used Tamiya paints for the body, first entire car in white, then masking to do the red, and finally black. If I remember correctly, I got the rims from Early Years Resin. They are Plastic Performance Products. 60s - 70s wide 5, 11" wheels. Street rod - Thank you. PappyD340- Thank you. James2- You can see the wheels info in my response to stavenzer. Toys4Don2 - Thank you. slusher - Thank you. sflam123 - Thank you Zippi - Thank you DavidG -The frame assembly went pretty smooth. No major problems. Kenmojr - Thank you. ChrisR - Thank you. I used aluminum Craft Metal mesh for the radiator screen, part #316190 found at Hobby Lobby. Also at that store I bought a small piece of bridal veil material to simulate chicken wire for part of the windscreen in the windshield opening. And I don't remember where I got the info to do that. Thanks for all the input. Dave

Great job!!!

Very well done. Dave

Great results Ian !! Your efforts paid off. I'm sure it was very gratifying to see it with the 1:1 car and hear all the comments from the crew and drivers.

John, you got a major infusion of Mojo!!! Great results. Love seeing your subtle weathering on the aluminum panels and the paint on the body is awesome. Looking forward to more of your builds. Good to hear from you the other day. Dave

Nice job. Love the color.

Looking GOOD!! Pro Stock is one of my favorite classes. I have four PS kits to build. Looking forward to more.

This looks great!!. I'm looking forward to the graphics/paint scheme. Question - would the dragster headers be more aerodynamic?

This is an AMT kit that was given to me years ago. I decided to build it with inspiration from my childhood. Sometimes we would eat at a diner in Sherburne, NY. Across the street was a garage and sometimes I would see the #33 modified sitting in there. It was a car driven by Bill Wimble. I never saw him drive. I wish I had. This kit has a tube frame. I don't know if Bill ever had a car with that type of frame, but this is what I went with. It was a fun build. I used Tamiya paints for the body and frame. The engine, fuel cell, radiator, etc. were painted with Testors Metalizer paints. Thanks for looking. Comments are welcome.

Tim, I'm speechless again. Your progress....... It was great seeing you back in June and your selfless attitude is much appreciated with the advice and things you share. Dave

Great job!!!

Great job !!! How do you end up with consistent silver dots on the rear side windows? I have a handful of NASCAR builds to finish and that part always baffles me. Appreciate any help. Dave

My work is so Neanderthal compared to what you guys do. But your posts are very inspiring and fuels the fire to be better. Dave

Dave, so great to see your latest posts on this car. FANTASTIC. I remember seeing your cars in person at a show near Pottstown. It might have been 2013? Very inspiring. Dave

Thanks Anton. I need to finish my other Interstate Batteries builds. Thanks for your comment. My sister and I were supposed to go to Sweden this year, but due to the pandemic and crazy rise in airfare we decided to wait a while.

Looks great. The paint and graphics are awesome.
