Bernard Kron Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 This thread has just exploded. The hits just keep on comin'! Dave Zinn, you know what a fan I am of your "realist" style. I've always contended it was a combination of your control of color and texture in your builds, a subtle approach to what is actually a prodigious technical ability, and something in the way you deal with natural lighting in your photos (can it be the diffuse sunshine of the coastal weather?). Now I have a clue - your photos of geezerman's Chikin' Koop take what was clearly a fine build and just make it sing! Zane, the Hollish Bros. coupe may be a relatively recent build, but what a classic it has become. However, the examples you posted remind me of the breadth and range of skill you possess. I continue to be inspired by your work. Looking forward to more of the Surfers build... Jack Logan, your decal work is stunning, especially considerring most of it is off an inkjet. And that drag bike... Cruz, I generally don't associate your sanitary, super detailed style with drag cars, but boy does it work! Wayne, you are the king of the kontemporary rear-engine top fueler. I kan't get enough of 'em. I build Old Skool as much because it suits my still-evolving technique as because this subject matter "speaks to me". So, to all the great practitioners of the "modern style" (Chris Sobak, Romell, Damir, Brett) and all those stunning replica builds (Roger Isenhour, Mitch Reeves), I only hope I can continue to up my game so I can play in your ball park someday... I'm sure I've left out some other great builders who have posted here, so my apologies for that. This thread has covered so much ground already in just 3 pages. May it continue to rock on! B.
Scott Colmer Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 FUN THREAD! My favorite type of racing. I thought I will throw something a little different at y'all. Still on the need to finish list, but you should get the idea. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

brett Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Thanks Shane ,I try . Bernard ,I'm honored to be included in that lineup, thank you. Couple of the more recent doorslammers and a couple older prostalgia funny cars both Flintstone bodies on late model Revell chassis
brett Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 And a couple more fuunies that are a few years old need to put the spill plates back on ( BM was the 1st one I tried to detail hence the plug wires are a little large)
1320wayne Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 i wanted to post this build that i have in my collection for everyone to see. i didn't build this one, credit goes to Clay Gratz from Florida for this! very,very cool little altered that Clay built and i'm very lucky to have in my collection now. I don't ever remember seeing this one done Dave. All your builds are great including this one. The only thing missing is the Chik Fil A sponsorship on the car, LOL!
1320wayne Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Here are some modern funny cars. It probably won't take too long for folks to see that I'm a bit of a Prudhomme and Prudhomme racing fan so a lot of my builds revolve around that. Tommy Johnson, JR. Skoal Monte Carlo funny car. And a Ron Capps Copenhagen Camro funny car.
