luvsnitro Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvsnitro Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited April 23, 2008 by luvsnitro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
