Dyno Don Nicholson Flip Top Funny Car

[Marlowe]

I haven't posted here in years.  A friend encourage me to check out this site only to discover that I was already a member.  I love building mid '60s funny cars but in 1:18 scale diecast.  1:18 Scale is my favorite so all of my work is in that scale. I hope you like this model and others I will post too.  The model started as the first photo and then I modified it to create the Dyno Don Comet.  It is the only version done in 1:18 scale.

What the ?? You went from that blue convertible to that drag car ? I am impressed. Where did the roof come from ? I would have liked to see the building of this model.

The roof came from the GMP '67 Ford Fairlane.  The Stage 1 Logghe chassis was modified from the Stage 3 Logghe from the Arnie Beswick funny car.
