Shock Wave

[charlzrocks]

I did this build in 3 days from a 1/32 scale snaptite kit that I got off the bay. For a 1/32 scale kit the thing is still 10 inches long! The kit was pretty basic, but I wanted to share it with y'all. I used to go to Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove WI to see the jet cars and wheelstanders, this thing sounds like 5 million fingernails on a chalkboard when it makes a run, too cool!

Enjoy the pics (more on my Fotki page) and ......comments are always welcome, thanks for looking!

Very nice! I had one years ago and thought it was the coolest truck ever! I'd like to find two of them again, one to build it again and one to build it's 55 or 57 (can't remember which) Chevy pickup little brother.

Everything is fun when you add a jet turbine on it, but when you have three you will smile weather you want to or not great build!

I checked that out. I love in the description where they said "When you gotta go, you gotta go!" It kinda reminds me of when I eat too much Mexican food!!

BTW, how could I forget the 57 Chevy truck was name Super Shockwave!

Yep, Super Shock wave has only 2 jet engines compared to this one, but they are both awesome to see!

As for that outhouse, I guess it is the unusual nature of what it is that attracts folks to see it!
