This took me about 16 years to complete. I stared with a David Peters Corvette resin body and grafted in

the blower tunnel and rear wheel wells from the Bud King Tempo. The rear deck I grafted in

from a John Force Cutlass. I added a shovel nose and lowered the front wheel wells with styrene

and puttied it all together. I scratch built the Wheelie bar, spill plates and the parachute mounts,

plus added the wiring and plumbing.

This was my brothers Fantasy Funny Car that he and I designed in the mid 80's

and that I built it for him for his 40th birthday.

On the back of the spoiler he wanted it to read, "The One Who Dies with the Most Toys...WINS!"

I agree with Carl... Really nice build! When I saw the topic title 'Corvette Funny Car' I thought already that this will be something cool. And it was. Really great paint and detail work. Good job.

Edit: Your two other Corvette Funny Cars are really nice as well!

Thanks guys! I like to build 'em as they raced with the right stance and parts.

I wish I had time to build more. I have my own fantasy car ready for paint. The chassis and engine parts

are all painted but not built. I have the decals all drawn up. It has been sitting in a box for 6 six years

along with my Whit Bazemore's Smokin Joes Mustang. The body is all painted and decaled, but

like my car, the Chassis and engine need to be built.

I hope to get some built during the next year at some point.

Really enjoying Chris's Army/Snake Vega build.
