Claude Thibodeau Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Hi! Since I do a lot of mashups and scratchbuilding, I obviously gather a lot of "leftovers" in my model junkyard. So... Took the Topolino cab & grille + front wheels in the old AMT double dragster kit, the shortened chassis from Revell's 7-Eleven Fox Mustang funny car, assorted bits and pieces, and decals from the Mazmanian 69 Cuda FC. The rear wing is from the McDonald Top Fuel by Revell. The grille surround is made of a plastic cafeteria spoon! Paint is Tamya's bright red + fluorescent red + Valejo clear. It's fun to watch spectators wonder "what kit is this, exactly" ? LOL. Hours of fun with styrene! CT 13
Zippi Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Super kewl looking build there Claude. That would be a tight fit for Big John as he was 6' 5" but I'm sure they could shoe horn him in there.

John B. Posted October 16 Posted October 16 Very nice - looks like it would be a handful at the strip!
Speedpro Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Great fictitious build! Big John would be proud to pilot this. Very nice!
