gasser59 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 This is gonna be so good. I've collected a few 1/16th scale FED kits myself and am really liking where you're going with this John. I'm in the front row with my popcorn. With the speed you build, I only hope that I don't miss something if I have to run to the bathroom. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Teresi Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 John, another great start! Where did you get the front wheels? Stephen.......I got the wheels awhile back from GMP die cast..........I had purchased all the 1/18 scale scale dragsters........we had a Earthquake here in Cal. a few years ago.......and some of my die cast fell from my shelfs and some wheels got damaged......so I asked them to replace them for me........they gave me a few extra sets.......I am using them on these builds.........I will make them re-movable so that I can use them on future builds ........I thought the wheels that come with the Revell kits look to cheesy.........I think these will look better.........thanks.

APRIL FOOLS APRIL FOOLS APRIL FOOLS I bought and built these two 1/25 Monogram original kits in the original boxes about 6 years ago off Ebay.......they both had a few parts missing........even though not very many parts in a sealed kit.......I doctored them up a little using parts from parts box........I am glad that I pulled out these builds for pictures......I noticed that they both have a push bar and a wheelie bar........ that I will add on these 1/16 builds........I will have progress photos tomorrow........happy April Fools day..........thanks for looking.
