Drag Week 2020 Black List Buick GNX

Yeah but when you are staged, put the line lock on, floor it and when it's time BRAAAAAAP it goes, right? 

Okay I admit, my turbos are oversized, and it's hard to get them stuffed in the engine bay. But the real Buick HAS BIG turbos too, Holset HX60, size of a water bucket. I tried to put a photo here but failed, it's a FB pic. Blacklist Buick. 

Today I got tired of the self made wheels, they just didn't look right. So I went through my spare wheel box, again, and I found set of 4 wheels, that are much better. Just had to make the front ones more narrow and the rear ones wider. Yes, they are 4bolt pattern, but who's counting, eh?

I moved the turbos to the front of the engine, as in real Buick they did. Now the hood will shut.

Looks efficient and smart!

Thanks Anton. There's a lot of work done already in the engine bay, but since there are no fresh photos of the real Buick yet to be seen in public, I won't put my proress here either. Also some details may need some changes. 

The rear axle got a 4 link suspension.

After hours of fighting I managed to print this (still paper version) of the decal that is on the sides of the real Buick. It was taken from a FB picture and modified with the pc, and that is really not my cup of tee. I hate it. 

Next I need to get some ink jet decal sheets and try to make even more different decals.

And more sponsors

Looking really good! 
 

You build fast! Is everything Painted also? Looks killer! 
 

I really like that body style! And I even have wanted to build a drag racing model after seeing this!

Thanks Anton. The body is painted, the interior is missing some tlc, the engine bay is still waiting for the real Buick to get the right setup. The owner said the hood scoop is too short, so I'll try to fix it. Also the red sponsor texts are unneccessary. Lot's of things to do with this model, but I have the time now, 'coz can't go anywhere.
