purepmd Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) I always liked the look of the black Pisano cars, so I used the Slixx decal set, and a So Real wheel and tire pakage to throw this together as a break from the trucks I usually build. The paint is all Tamiya. Yellow faded with clear orange, black and cleared, staight out of the gun, not polished. I know the wheels are not period correct, but just had to use them. Thanks for taking time to look. Edited November 23, 2013 by purepmd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 This is the first set of Slixx decals I ever bought. After researching the car, I determined there was no way to reproduce it with those decals. You've proved me wrong......very wrong. Absolutely killer build.......tremendous paint job.

Dragracer Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Great looking build Mark, I agree, the JP-1 was one of my overall favorite cars also, had Mike Dunn as a driver for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purepmd Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Thanks Guys for the kind words. Dragracer, Mike Dunn was one of my favorite drivers. I got to meet him at the Mile High Nationals once, very cool guy. If my memory serves me as well as I hope it does, The JP1 was the last flopper to switch to the high gear only set up and Mike Dunn was the last fuel driver to shift gears in a nitromobile. Thought I read that somewhere, could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayrock7597 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Looking great,I like that you used the right tires on this kit. Speaking of those tires,would you happen to have any of those front runners to sell me? I can not find them anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
