jlucky Posted November 13, 2024 Posted November 13, 2024 Well...after taking a bit of time off...(does anyone do that?)...I found something that I had the passion to build. I have always had a soft spot for the outrageous drag racing machines known as the AA Fuel Altered class. While at a recent swap meet, I picked up a couple bags of parts and pieces which included a Fiat body and the beginnings of a frame. Knowing I could find all the other parts needed for this build I acquired the Mondello decal set from Fremont Racing Specialties. The body needed the grill-front clip replaced with the smooth surface front-clip and then it was a matter of putting the thing together so that everything sat in the right place and at the right angle. Tires are soft M&H slicks from AMT parts packs, wheels are from the parts box, front wheels are Competition Resins12-spokes, engine is a 427 Chevy from the AMT Corvette kit, 3-D printed Hilborn injectors and scoop with Pro-Tech fuel line, dropped front axle from Tony Nancy dragster kit and steering linkage, headers, seat and other miscellaneous parts are from the spare parts box. Tamiya purple made a nice base for the Fremont decals, which went on super smooth setting nicely with just a hint of Micro Set. White stripes were made white paint pens. All in all the build is far from a 100% accurate it’s more of a close approximation of the real car that “sort-a looks right.” It’s a welcome addition to the Fuel Altered Stable. 8

Mike 1017 Posted November 13, 2024 Posted November 13, 2024 Very KOOL. These AA/FA must have been a hand full to drive Mike
TarheelRick Posted November 13, 2024 Posted November 13, 2024 Looks hot and fast, ready to terrorize the 1/4 mile. Very nice, clean build.
