I don't do contests, so all I have to do is please me . And I go more for the overall look. So stance is important to me to accruately replicate the 1/1 I'm trying to recreate for my shelf. I usually stay with box stock or pretty close to it. I MIGHT do ignition wiring and maybe some fuel lines but thats about the extent of my detailing list. But i'll work for hours trying to get a funnycar body to sit down over the ft tires, otherwise they just don't 'LOOK ' right.

Pretty cool, well excuted. It's not my style but I kinda like it. And I'll give you one thing, You sure think outside the box thats for sure.

Ok, I did manage to get a little time at the bench over the past few days. Got the blower scoop injector all plumbed ( not sure I'll do that again ) And have the blower and all the fuel lines in and started running ignition wiring. I remembered why I did more box stock builds while doing this, I just can't see the tiny holes to run this stuff like I used to . Lines and fittings are all from Micheals craft dept. So it's not 100% accurate but good enough for me. Also repainted the wheel centers in a flat silver to more accurately resemble the real car back then. Getting the interior tin to sit down over the chassis is giving me some fit issues, and I want the ft of the body sitting down lower over the ft tires . So I have to work on that next. ( sorry about the crappy pictures, looks like I need to clean my camera lens) Comments good and bad always welcome.

Sold it many years ago. But I used to have a bright blue with black interior 1971 Demon 340 And the lone original MPC issue I have . Started this build sometime maybe 10-15 years back. I broke a few of the vertical tail light bars out of one side and got disgusted and put it in the box .

Sweet, Revell kit I assume ? the more I see of these , the more I think I need to get me a couple

When they're ready , PM me + pencil me in for 2 sets . I might try to make one set work to do a 1971 Challenger Unless there is going to be a challenger set as well , then I'll take a set of each

I would love to have one to add to my collection. And I thought real hard about it at the $1100 buy it now. I think it will bring mid-teens myself . At the current price it's a pretty good deal even though it's not perfect When it comes to Mopar promos , A 1969 Coronet convertible is the top of the heap,,,,. , and a RED one is hands down the hardest one of them all to get

http://www.ebay.com/itm/321085998759?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Heres your chance once again. With the recent sale of 2 green cars and a red one a few weeks back . I had a feeling these would start coming out . Not mint by any means , but it now was $1100 , once a bid was placed the BIN is gone. so all bets are off . anyone care to wager how much this one goes for when the hammer drops ?

I just watched this . WOW, just doesn't seem to be enough. And to strap your butt in that at those speeds has to be a rush unlike any other Speedweek is on my bucket list to see someday.

Interesting. Safety wise, I can see them being slighly safer than one of the 3 wheeled things they call motor cycles, and this thing has a heater and airbags. I kinda like it. and if it's all it's made out to be . I'd own one

It's for nothing more than bragging rights for the filthy rich to answer the op, no

I don't really follow LSR stuff in any way . so bear with me. What is to be gained by these attempts , outside of your name in a record book. ? I can only imagine the financial backing commitment something likes this requires , yet for what. ?

I know the decals to do the Stepp car was avail ( but think they are being redrawn / remade ) And I don't think they are avail yet. Not aware of either of the others if they are or not, I'll take a set of each if anyone knows

Oh Yes, I like this one a lot. Especially like how the chassis looks compared to the original molded one. Got one of these in the upcoming list myself .

Nah, I say leave it alone

To me it's all about the subject. I tend to stay within certain subject matter. So the chances that i'm only going to build one of a particular kit is unlikely. Exceptions are maybe non mopar factory stock builds. Drag cars (all makes) and Mopar factory stock make up 90% of my subject matter. I do have a 1959 Corvette to do maybe next winter. And,, I am looking for a few more non mopar factory stock kits to do down the road, unfortunately they are mostly long out of production annuals. So budget is a factor I have to take into consideration, so says the CFO.

Holy cow !!!!!!! thats haulin

I just ck'd the 4 ( all in various stages of incompletion ) have and they all have clear windows

To be honest, I didn't know it wasn't currently avail. I probably have 4 or 5 of them so I haven't been looking fror one either. They are super easy to find at swap meets in the $5 to $10 range . Or worst case, buy one of the assembled 'promos' . it's the same kit just molded in red and pre-assembled.

Welcome aboard. I'm in northern Ky btw

Ok, I'll take some pictures along the way on this one. Managed to get a fuel block made and attached to the back of the scoop , and started running fuel lines for the tank. Not 100% happy with my selection of using crafting beads for the fittings, but I think once it's all together it'll look,,, ok. Now I just need to figure out how to make a barrel valve for the side of the scoop next. Thanks for all the kind words as well.

I really want one of the Norseman kits

Me likey, Especially the AA/FC . Love the interior tin work

Grille is different, side markers are diferent as are the interior seat patterns. And between the release of the Demon and the new 1970 Cuda, I'm gonna blow my whole toys budget on 2 kits, albeit multiple quanities of each

I tinkered with it a bit this evening. Drilled the blower scoop for fuel injector lines and made a distribution block for the back of the scoop (that was fun) And made lines and fittings for the fuel tank. Found some pictures on Big Johns website of the original car. And the rollcage is shaped completely different ,,,, but it's to late now to change it. Close enough for hand grenades I always say. http://bigjohnmazmanian.com/
