Good Evening Forum 

I wanted to show a couple of builds that I did 15 years ago or more.

Al Hoffman Pontiac 

I am a big Warren Johnson fan and when Hoffman got his GM Performance Parts sponsorship I knew I was going to build a kit of his car..Started with the Western Auto model kit. Used some  Warren Johnson Olds kit and some other decals to complete it..It's one of my favorites because I really loved the way Hoffman raced.

 

Gene Snow tribute

Started with KC Spurlock kit and adapted the Snowman decals to the Avenger body..I wanted this model to have a crazy amount of sponsors on it to look as if Gene stop using his own money to race. I don't do a lot of Funny Cars, but every once in a awhile I have to scratch that itch..Enjoy and feel free to comment.

Nice job here on both of them especially the snow man . I can remember being about 14 years old and watching the winter nationals on the tv with my dad and seeing him in a plain white top fuel dragster. My dad had to explain to me that he ran on his own nickel as I thought it was really odd that there was no lettering on his car. I was a big fan of him from that day on

Still really like them!! Really wish they would mold or reissue more funny cars or fuel dragsters. Getting back into cars, built the MPC Ramchargers and Blue Max, ended up as curbside builds.

I'm with you on that Sir..Reissue the 90's and early 2000s Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Mod decals of the most popular teams would be fantastic..Also issue the Pro Stock kits of 70s & 80s would be great
