Finished up the build this afternoon. Despite all the issues along the way, I'm pleased with it. Thanks for checking it out. Next up, a Camaro Pro Mod......

Beautiful model ! Really like the paint. Would you mind telling me the brand of paint, and did you clear coat over the decals? I take it that this is the present day nostalgia version of this car. Regardless you did a great job.

Very nice.

Thanks Nitro Norman, the body was painted with Tamiya cans. Camel Yellow, then Clear Orange, then Pearl Clear. After the decals, I sprayed it with Tamiya clear, which promptly attacked the decals....the whole story is in the On the Workbench area. I ended up using Testors clear to finish it.

It's my interpretation of how the car appeared in '82. I just used some reference photos from the net. It's far from perfect, but. I just build for the enjoyment of recreating cars I remember watching at the local tracks here. If I get too wrapped up in technical accuracy, it gets too frustrating, that's just me.

The Thing about funny cars is it takes real talent to build these cars,everything exposed,all details to see. This is a very fine job of a great build. great job and a job well done.

I am not a drag car builder, BUT, that is such a nice looking build, great detail on the engine/chassis etc, and a stunning paint/decal job too. Love it mate.

Yep that's a really nice Funny Car. You did a great job with the paint and decals. I think it always look the best when there is a clear coat over the decals, just like here. Incredible engine detailing too, it looks like you could fire it up any moment.
