hOLMS Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 ridiculously great....what a super clean build!!! Almost looks real, I had to do a double-take. Can't wait to see finished.
Mooneyzs Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 Thank you guys, really appreciate all of the comments. I am excited about having this model completed.
tyrone Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 this is a really good looking build, cant wait or updates...
Mooneyzs Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) well I couldn't wait, I had to see what the body looked like on the chassis: Â Â Â Â Edited July 9, 2017 by Mooneyzs
baddgass Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Super cool Super comp. It would look good at my house.
Mooneyzs Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 I am anxious to get the decals on the body. but I will be waiting a few more days. Derrick... what's the addy again and it will be on its way... if it's not there in 5 days just wait longer...
Mooneyzs Posted March 31, 2011 Author Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) Thanks again guys. Been Picking out which decals I am going to put on tomorrow after I get home from work. Don't want to over do it with decals but rather keep it simple. I should have pics tomorrow night hopefully Edited March 31, 2011 by Mooneyzs
Mooneyzs Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Sneak peak of the body with Decals..... Â Edited July 9, 2017 by Mooneyzs
whale392 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Looking sweet, Chris! I like the lesser modeled cars as well, and yours is looking spot-on to what I see at the tracks.
AZ Boy Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I really like how this is turning out Chris. The decals are just right. One thing though: How about the competition number and class marking? Might go well on the tunnel ram scoop sides? Just a thought. Can't wait to see this at the DSC! Aaron
Mooneyzs Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 Thanks Bradley..... I was trying to go simple and clean for this build Aaron....thanks on the compliments. you know I kept thinking about doing the number decal, just wasn't sure where I should put it. you may have a good idea about putting it on the side of the scoop. one other thought was making a small flag so to speak that the numbers mount to in which mounts to the top of scoop?? so it would be standing vertical on top. Hope I described it enough for you to visualize. Look forward to meeting you at the DSC.
W117monte Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 A lot of guys with altereds will put the numbers on the wing(if you plan on putting one on) or as Whale said on the side of the scoop. Ive also seen little brackets on the back of the roll cage for numbers or a dial in board. This thing is really looking great! i like the decals, very clean and accurate!
Mooneyzs Posted April 1, 2011 Author Posted April 1, 2011 Monte.... thanks man. I really like the idea of attaching it to the back of the roll cage. I am going to be looking at maybe making a bracket and attaching it there.
futurattraction Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) That looks super, Chris, in every sense of the word. Its simplicity, detail, attitude, paint color and application, decals have all been executed flawlessly. It's got the whole nine yards. I don't know how you could make it any nicer!

Ben Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Uh oh, I see something that it's missing! Look at the bottom of the tires......see it? My shelf is not there!!!!!! Really nice work, Chris!
Mooneyzs Posted April 2, 2011 Author Posted April 2, 2011 Scott... thanks man for the kind word. I appreciate it and it means alot. I sometimes go with the less is more. I have seen on many real cars that to be the same. clean and simple is what I was going for with this build. Wish i would of gone with different fuel lines, other than that I am very happy with this build. Its actually nice to have completed this since it was started 14+ years ago been sitting in primer just waiting for the right color and decals...lol Ben.... Send the truck to come and pick it up, and it could be on your shelf
hOLMS Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Love this ride, always wanted to try one, maybe one day. Awesome build!!
Mooneyzs Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks again guys! Well I think I have decided that I am going to put the number decal on the side of the scoop. Now I am just trying to think of the number I want to go with. Then I am hoping to clear the model once more to seal the decals in this weekend.
W-409 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 This one looks great! I like the color very much. Paintjob looks also great and those decals are nice too. I like that detailing also, it is simply great! SuperComp altereds are something very rarely seen in smaller scale... Thanks for sharing!
Mooneyzs Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Thanks Niko!! Yeah you don't see many Super Comp cars. On my to do list has been a Super Comp Dragster for years. I have acquired some of the parts but I was planning on scratch building the chassis and doing a detailed build of it. I think it would be fun and different as well. I will have some pics up soon with the finished Decals. Finally picked out the spot for the class & car number. Thanks with those who helped with the suggestions
Mooneyzs Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Well Shoot been having issues with photobucket not uploading my pics. Keep getting a network error. Must be a problem on photobuckets end, they did have it down last night for maintenance for a few.....I blame that
