Awesome paint dude. PSyChoDEliC like!

See, now I have to get a hauler for one of my Funny's.

Sure, I'm jealous.....

I wonder what Garlits used? I'll bet it was an enclosed trailer......................

Nice.

That's a neat rig. :)

The tinted windows like right for the period.

If that is the "Racer's Wedge", you did good converting it to a single axle.

Looks fantastic! I really like those wheels .. on the car .. are those the kit wheels or from elsewhere. I'd like those on a rod on my bench...

thanks guys,

foxer, sorry but i just cant remeber where i got those wheels, i dont think there from the kit, maybe the parts box, the rear whinkle wall slicks and wheelie bar are resin, igot from a seller on ebay.

G,day , WOW ! lookin at the photo's you can almost hear the fire breathing dragon within . Hey foxer ,i think the wheels come out of the AMT fiat topalino . Not from the original version but the blueprinter set . Cheers ,

This is an eye-popping combo! The paint, and detail work is top notch. I love what you did on the '57. It makes a ho-hum kit come to life! The Racers Wedge was a good kit. This combo just looks good together. Great work!

Great builds! The hauler is fantastic -- back in the day I had a '68 Chevy C-30 ramp truck, and we put a lot of miles on it going to the races. Three of us sitting bolt upright in the cab for 48 hours straight, L.A. to Indy -- and we thought we were having the time of our lives.

So I've got to build one of these. Question: Where did you get the truck wheels and rear duallies? Of course, for an accurate model of my old ramp truck, I'll have to paint them black . . . I spent the big bucks on 12-ply Michelins instead of chrome rims.

Thanks,

Rick V.

I've been fortunate enough to have seen this combo in person a few times over the last year and each time the paint work just draws you in. Awesome work Gary.
