Coolest Custom Car Ever

Very nice build. Looks a little war weary like most military vehicles should.

My first car in 20 plus years. It started life as the  "Miss Deal model by Revell. I took it a long way from that kit. It is dedicated to the Marines & navy corp. men  who faught and died on the atoll of tarawa. " island of Betio "  it was a bloody 3 day fight in nov of 1943. every color and decal has a meaning . I scratch built alot on this car.  All the chrome was weathered with Tamiya X-19 smoke / the gas tank - front tires- chutes- and plug wires are after market parts.  The pan the gas tank sits on - gas lines- chute cables- extra roll cage sapports- header metal strip-bar holding up the body- gas peddal toe gaurd- seat belt, are all scratch built. Winshield,  driver and skull and cross bones are from parts box. The header pipes are drilled out, and custom built with header flang. That was the tuffest job. The hood is puttied  to make it a one piece body. The model is a real low grade kit. I wanted it to look ruff and war beatin.  real happy with it. It was a six month build, lot of time figuring out what I wanted to up grade.

ty jim, hand brushed paint job just like we did in the army when I was serving in the 80`s.

my next model to be completed will be Dragons 1/6 Klines KettenKrad lot of detail on that. so if anyone has one finished I would enjoy hearing from you.

I think these guys did great job on the out of the box car. I really like making my model my own. I look forward to see what my peers think good or bad thank you AAFC205

ya they followed the box art ,, perfectly

Very imaginative and really nicely done!

We don't see many gassers here! A nice change of pace!

Always loved the gassers. I intended this to be more of an early Funny Car.

Love the old school dragsters,very nicely done!!!
