DrKerry Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) And KennyB. you can't play!!!!!! LOL, as you know what it is!!! What would a drag racer do with this? And what do you think the rest looks like? Let's see if anyone gets this..... Edited September 24, 2013 by DrKerry
DrKerry Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Wow, that didn't take long..... Fred "Freakshow" ya nailed it!!!! I'll post more pics soon, it's gonna be called "Bizarro Berretta"
Johnny Racer Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 Yeah I was gonna go Berretta Roadster.
DrKerry Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Not gonna be a roadster. It's based off of a funny car body. Shortened, wing added, lift off front end. Intended to go onto a pro mod chassis.
DrKerry Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 This is what has been mocked up as about ten years ago, then it was put in a bag and forgotten, until Kenny came over and I was digging through boxes for parts for his newest endeavor. Then I was like I forgot I had this to about ten boxes I had forgotten. In order to finish this I'm gonna need to come up with a Pro Mod kit (body not important) and a Berretta rear bumper.
Johnny Racer Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Thats gonna be kewl... I'll be watching this one for sure.
DrKerry Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 I originaly set this up to be put on a pro mod chassis but I was playing around with it last night and put it on a altered funny car chassis I had been setting up for a 33 Willy's......... Now I don't know which way to go??
DrKerry Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 This is my new dilema, funny car chassis looks pretty good under it too. Not sure which way to go now.....
brett Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 ah what the heck Kerry, everyones building pro mods, go wild
DrKerry Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 ah what the heck Kerry, everyones building pro mods, go wild Go big or go home right????? Only question I have is, would this thing fall into a drag class or be totally exibition?? I don't have a problem either way, if I go this route..
Kennyboy Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 ah what the heck Kerry, everyones building pro mods, go wild I'm with Brett on this one too Kerry!
futurattraction Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 This is a cool, outside-the-box build, Kerry. If it's an unruled class, I kind of like the T/F wing idea... You're off to a great start! What kit did this start out as? I've got a couple of the pro street Berettas (which I hope will eventually be used as pro stockers) but nothing like this.
DrKerry Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 So you're liking the wild haired crazy lady eh?? I was talking about the "Hair Barrett" oh wait a minute this is a Beretta!!!! Oops, my bad....

If memory serves me right, it started out as a T/F Oldsmobile, in the earlier photos I had the wing and everything built so it would be built on a pro mod chassis but then I got to dinking around with this chassis and was like..........um? Got any extra Beretta rear bumpers???? The one thing I didn't get done to this body years ago is put a Beretta rear on it so that it ties it to the Beretta styling. I have no idea where the bumper I had for it went.. Guess anything can happen, this has been in a box/bag for ten plus years and when Ken was up last weekend I unearthed it again.......

DrKerry Posted September 29, 2013 Author Posted September 29, 2013 Started reworking the front half of the frame today. Shortened it up from what I had it for the 33 Willy/s. I also dug out my T/F parts today and got the rear wing and engine parts ready to go.
DrKerry Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Right now back in the box, got some projects I have to finish in a short time frame so the extra ones are on hold for awhile...
Danno Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Whew! We dodged the bullet. That was gonna be wild!!
DrKerry Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Just a little Danno.... I'll get it locked, cocked and ready to rock in the future.......
