futurattraction Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 That's a really sharp build, John. I love the color and your detailing looks great!
AZ Boy Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Love it, John! Green Elephant was always one of my favorite FC's growing up!
Nitrozilla Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Way nice John. Vintage Rules.....plus ya gotta love a Vega with a Hemi.
W-409 Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Great looking build again. I like these Vega Funny Cars a lot. You did excellent job with yours, nice paint and detail work. Nice job! ....plus ya gotta love a Vega with a Hemi. Huh...What ?
Burnout Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Nice build John. I remember well the influx of Vega (and Pinto) funny cars in the early '70's. The Green Elephant was certainly one of the sharpest looking among them and yours looks great.
Silver Foxx Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Great looking build , sits real nice.
booboo60 Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 John, what color did u use for the body? The green elephant fc looks great,
Old Coyote Posted November 16, 2013 Author Posted November 16, 2013 John, what color did u use for the body? The green elephant fc looks great, The paint used on the Green Elephant was Cobracolors Candy Apple Green ........... unfortunately Cobracolors paints are no longer available
Chris in Berwyn Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Really nice!!!! Good to see a rarely built replica. BTW, are the left side headers on the right side, and visa versa?
Skip Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Very Nice! That green is very close to the original too. I remember Jim Green's Green Elephant running frequently at his "Home Track" Seattle International Raceway where he was a frequent flyer!!!
Mooneyzs Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 John... This turned out great. Another nice and clean build you got here.
