comp1839 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 that's pretty cool! is that a kit or did you scratch build it? if it's a kit, what scale is it? again, VERY nice work.
Tired of kit bashing Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Thanks Dave....It's 1/16 the chassis is about 85%scratch built it started off as a funny car chassis, the the engine, blower, front and rear rims(made from bondo) plus slicks are products from Paul Rowe, the chute, driver is resin a product from Ron Andrews(RMR), the tear drop tank I scratch built by me, the engine heads casted by me, headers scratch built by me and the rest is scratch build or kit parts with lots of mods done, the body is resin casted by ?, decals done by Billy Goochiee
Bonekrosha Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I think it's ugly! Send it to me and I'll put it away somewhere ))))))))))))))))
AZ Boy Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 Turned out beautifully, Rob! All it needs is a load of nitro and light the fuse!
Tired of kit bashing Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 LOL, funny Mr, Winters! Thanks AZ Boy!
Mooneyzs Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 Rob.. thus build is awesome. I really enjiyed seeingbthis being built up. I cant waut to see what you have in store next.
Tired of kit bashing Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 Thanks Chris, not sure whats next but if I do any building I'm gonna finish up some back burner projects but you know how that goes once you get an idea in your head theres a new project that starts, lol....Thanks Bill, I lov the old drag cars myself...........
Mooneyzs Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Rob... I sure hope its another 1/16th scale build that you will dust off or start . I totally know the feeling with some back burner projects. I have a 1/16th Scale FED I started over 16 years ago and I got the body painted before I started my 1/16th scale Army Vega Build. I have realized I don't like the kits radius rods and I want to go back and remove them and redo those. But I want to just finish it because It is going to be a cool build to sit on the shelf but won't have near the detail that this funny car does but I just want to get it done. I am having a hard time just wanting to start something else because I Have a goal of getting the funny car done by the end of April.... then lets say I Have about 15 1/16th scale projects I have written down I would like to do.... along with a few 1/25 & a couple 1/43rd...haha
