Hello everyone

new to the site here, came across it in my search for aftermarket top fuel model parts and i signed right up when i found this drag race forum.

i am looking forward to looking around here

thought i would share some pics of my Bud King build, i built this a few years ago now from an old Joe Amato kit, i scratch built a new front end for the taller front tires, also the new inline fuel pumps among other things and numerous aftermarket pieces were added

Really nice build ...I enjoy seeing drag racing models hit this forum, especially the later ones

As you know it takes a lot of work to update the most recent plastic kits that are out there

Its nice that Slixx, ProTech, Competition Resins, etc are providing products that enable us to create these beasts

If you go back a few topics on the Drag Racing Models list, you'll find Melanie Troxel's Top Fuel Dragster I built for the NNL West

welcome to the forum and lookin' forward to seeing more of your work

Thank you everyone, it was a real passion for me to build that model

FuelishSpectator - Thank you for the link, i got to check out some of the models there, there are some beauties there and names that i recognise from seeing in modelling magazines, i really look forward to checking them all out

FlyinSolo - Thank you, i could tell by your av that you got a thing for drag racing

3men2s - Thank you

Pro Tech - Thank you and t5hanks for the link, this is just the kind of stuff i was hoping to find, look forward to doing some business with you

curt raitz - Thank you, i seen your Ron Capps car, you did a great job on hos car, very nice, Capps is a favorite of mine but then, most of the drivers are favorites of mine, i did check out your thread on Melanie's car but for me the pics came up as dead links, could be just my dial up server but i tried a few times and every time the pics wouldn't open up for me

Excellent build, Nitro. Love to see when someone takes on the challenge of so much added detail.

[luvsnitro]

curt, Thanks for the link, i raced right to the Melanie build lol... thats a beauty!! did a great job again, your other builds are excellent also!! the Outlaw pro stocker and Warren Johnson builds are also awesome!

Pro Tech, i got to check out your site, soon as it came up i recognised your banner, digging through my tickle trunk i see we have already done a bit of business, Thank you for all the great products you have for us builders, i also checked out the gallery, there are some gorgeous builds there, i really luv the 2 pro stockers, the Warren and Greg GTO's are outstanding!!!

1320wayne, Thank you also, i have followed your great builds also

heres a couple more pics of an older build of Cory Mac's car, my building skills were still being refined lol but i was more proud of my air brushing job than the build, was one of my first air brushing jobs, the Mac Attack graffics were hand painted as at the time there were no decals covering this subject
