TheBEAUMONTGURU Posted March 8 Posted March 8 (edited) Forgot to take many pics along the way, so this one goes straight into the done pile I salvaged an original built up, bought some Slixx decals, and researched the crapola out of the real car to get it as accurate as I could. Modified the windshield, and blower shrouding, made my own window frame decals, spoilers are acetate, some better parts pack slicks, lots of engine detailing, made my own Ed Pink and Plymouth decals for the valve covers. Scratch build the oil recovery system and rear tank, the list goes on and on. Edited March 8 by TheBEAUMONTGURU pics added and spelling 10 1

The chassis blue was an old discontinued 30 year old Duplicolor automotive colormatch spraybomb(in the small cans) sorry i cant remember what #. I can see if i still have that can around. I bought a whole lot of them from a hardware store 20 yrs ago for 1 dollar each when they discontinued them.
W-409 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Funny Cars usually need a lot of extra work and detailing to look good, because everything is visible once you lift up the body. You did an excellent job with this one.
