Tim.. You gotta post a few of yours. I know you have some. I saw a beauty at the desert scale classic this past year....

What are you waiting for Tim, jump right in as the water's fine. I know that you have some great builds to share with us. Thanks.

Please do and I'm with Chris as I saw what he saw.

Is it too late to make the Castrol car the one with the "rear engine Freight Train" setup? And make Force the pilot?

This is my only true purpose built drag car... Built it a couple of years ago as a quickie build to try to get me out of this building funk I have been in, well, this got completed, with very little detail added and I am still stuck in a rut... LOL

Revell Mad Magazine Firebird snap kit...

In the 1960's world of drag racing, for a while the boat drags were nearly as popular as the pavement drags. Often the same builders and drives competed in both series, and swapping engines between the two genres was a frequent occurence.

Here's a Revell Hemi Hydro, narrowed, real wood hull deck, with Pontiac 389 power and considerable detailing added. There's a how-to article on this one somewhere in the Model Cars Mag in-box.....
