                        Posted by metalhead5 on Monday, August 4, 2008 10:42 AM

                        This project has taken quite a few months to compltete but light is at the end of the tunnel. All that is left is to put the body, rear wing, and front wing on and she is complete. I think this will be the last heavily detailed model for a while, it will be OOB for now. Let me know what you think all comments are welcome.

                        I hope you don't mind if I step in and tidy up a bit?!

                         

                        This is great work and noone should miss it! Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Very impressive, and contest bound I trust? If so, you had better save some room for a trophy, or three!

                        Thanks Matt for the help, thought I done it right but must not have. Yes its going to the Nationals. I'm putting the body on as we speak. When I'm finished I'll try and post some more pictures. Thanks all for the comments.

                        Gotta love a man who calls himself "metalhead"! Tongue [:P] "Bang yor heeeeeeeead!" Banged Head [banghead] LOL!

                        Seriously though, what an amazing, cool build! That engine is just too much! I know you'll place if not win a nice chunk of metal for this one!

                        Looks fabulous! I can't wait to see this one complete!

                        Thanks Doog, like I was told when I was young "If its too loud your to old". Finished yesterday with the build. Took picutres but didn't have time to up load them yet. ANd with being a hotel right now, that thing they call high speed wireless is more like dial up. Will post pictures when I get back Sunday.

                        Sorry for not updating sooner. As soon as I got back from Nationals work has been chaos, been working 12 hour days trying to catch up. The dragster took 1st in straight line competition. There were alot of great models there. I think the last count was 3505 at the time of the banquet. Thanks to all for the kind words. Heres a picture, hope you enjoy.
