“ BUILDING THE COVERS “ Vol # 89 LEW ARRINGTON’S BRUTUS 1971 MUSTANG FUNNY CAR

[M W Elky]

I built this using mostly johan Mickey Thompson mustang parts. About 12 years ago I was at the nnl east and this guy was selling a whole box of the johan mustang funny cars . Here’s the hitch they were partial kits in plastic bags missing all the chrome trees . I figured I could find enough substitute parts in my spare’s box to finish them so I bought the whole box of 10 for a real bargain. So on this one i used the front suspension ,rear , and the blower parts from the mpc funny car kit . The wheels came by way of the leftovers from a polar lights funny car with mpc slicks and some random front tires from the parts box . It made the front axle sit a little to far forward but I all ready had it assembled and painted and didn’t want to take it apart. The paint color is tamyia bright orange and it’s topped off with chuck boener decals . Until next time thanks for looking. Mike

Whoa!  Nice choice my friend, this is pretty cool.  This is something I can say I have never thought of.  As always, very nice work.
