Rob Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 First of all, thanks to the guys here for adding this forum. Every site should have a drag racing forum! This car was built from the Revell kit of the same car. I reworked the front of the car to add the up to date front wing. I added as much detail as I was able to. The eyes ain't what the used to be.
RyanSilva Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Well well well Rob... ive been hoping to see ya again on a forum!!!!

cruzn Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Nice very Nice... I Like how you corrected the front wing for that Up to date Look.. good detail too.
1320wayne Posted April 29, 2007 Posted April 29, 2007 Excellent build. Very clean engine detail. The front wing looks perfect. Great job.
Rob Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 Thanks guys! Hey Ryan, been a while. I used a metalizer on the front wheels, then tinted some tamiya clear yellow until I got it to look decent. Not a perfect match to the original but, close enough to suit me.
Schumacher330 Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 You I have to comment on this awesome ride! I have to ask however, how did you modify the front end?
Rob Posted May 1, 2007 Author Posted May 1, 2007 Thanks, The wing was made from a piece of sheet styrene that was heated and bent around a round dowel for the curvature. The end plates were used from the MCG t/f wing PE set. Here are a few pictures that may help, http://public.fotki.com/miarob/in_progress...dragster_build/

Mister Twister Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Its odd to see a thread that is 8 years old come back to life............Great build though!
GoatGuy Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Excellent job. The detailing - especially fuel lines - looks great.
