Nanook AA/Fuel Altered 1968

[jlucky]

Here is the latest addition to the Fuel Altered collection. Sometime back I acquired the Slixx decals for this car, so it was a matter of getting all the parts and pieces together. The body and front 12-spoke wheels came from Competition Resins, fuel lines from Pro-Tech, aluminum fittings from Detail Master, the 3-D printed 8-port Crower blower from 3-D Scale Parts, the ignition wiring kit from Morgan Automotive Details and the 11.75 M&H slicks came from the AMT parts pack. Whew.

The donor kit was the Wild-Willy 23-T altered with modifications made to the roll cage and front end.  The new leaf-suspension dropped front axle was saved from the parts box, as were the twin chutes. The gold cowl/shielding was scratch built from aluminum. All-in-all the car went together quite quickly and with very few significant assembly issues.

The Nanook AA/FD is the latest addition (and perhaps the last) in my fuel altered collection. As it sits next to the other cars, I can’t help but think this would make a great six-car field on any Saturday night!

Another super cool altered build Jerry!  And you're right that would be a fun six car field to watch.  I have several altered kits and after seeing yours, may have to move one up on the build list!

Your model captures the mean look of a Fuel Altered. Great job!

Awesome job on the ole fuel/altered!!!!   Love your collection!!!!!  First time I remember seeing them was at Lions ('66), and last time was in '74 at Seattle.   NOTHING has ever been any more exciting to watch than the AA/FA's,  I mean, a TOP FUEL MOTOR in what was basically a "T-Bucket"!!!!!!  Nothing uncommon to go about 5/8 of a mile to cover the 1/4 mile!!!!!😉👍👍

Again, great job

Hey Tim,

I'm always flattered when you take notice of my humble efforts. It's very inspirational to get a compliment. Much appreciated. While I'm at it...I have a question for you. Assuming you see this. I'm working on building Ed Pink's Engine Masters Pink Dragster...can you recommend a kit with the best 392" for the build?

While I'm at it...Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to check out my model building efforts and provide a comment. Your observations make my model building worth the time invested. Thanks so much.
