Modelmartin Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Just finished this the other day. The interesting thing is that this car puts me on the right and Jairus on the left side of things! Lacquer paint, pearl white , red, and blue. Slixx decals were used. I used my resin tires and slicks on it. Now it sits right. I only added plug wires. I am on the learning curve with newer funny cars. The next one I will detail better. I have all of the Mad cars and even the Craftsman buzzsaw car. Does anyone know if decals were ever made for the Mad "Ugly" car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzn Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Andy.. the ugly car was a quick Builder , I believe, already Painted.. I have pics of the Political Body when I was at Topeka..Need to dig them out.. Nice Build..Are You sure you want to do a fully detailed Modern day Funny?? Lots of A/N fittings and small wire for sensor wires to the Puter. Dwayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James W Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Maybe you should do a full on detailed Jimmy Carter funny car for more 'practice.' Nice job btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 And I'm on the Left... why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmartin Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 And I'm on the Left... why? Left side of car, "Gore - Loser!" Right side of car, "Bush - Loser!" You - left, me - right. Right? Or do you approve of both sides? James, I think I will pass on the AMT Peanut One - Quarter Mile Smile. Dwayne, I have the quick builder black car but didn't know they did the "Ugly" car. I will have to look for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvadrag Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Andy, Very nice build. Really good job on the decals. I don't have the patience for getting them to settle. I thought you would have more experience with the funny car kits based on the resin kits you make. Maybe you just used the chassis to mock up those kits. I have completed only one kit out of box and used many for the chassis on other builds: altereds like fiats, tees and bantams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Cole Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 ModelMartin- If you are interested in doing the Craftsman Sawblade car, it was at my local Sears store on display back in (IIRC) 2003. I will post the link below to several pics I took. http://public.fotki.com/JCole/race_cars__trucks/page15.html Hope this helps! -Jon- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
