Thank you ED! (writing it down) :thumbsup:



I think the deadline is supposed to be TODAY, Nov. 25th Thank you VJ, but for which one??(pen is poised above paper.)

Bob, the Baronvagen is just way too cool. I love it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

OK here is my custom made drag car. the body was from tyco '40 ford coupe (cut, chop, sand, added, lots of cuts, chop again) I added the spoiler (it was from a porsche 935 body), front end was from tyco VW bug (just half of it and added to it to make it lower barely touching the track) the parachute, motor and hoosier rear tires and side pipes was from 1.64 muscle machines nitro cars - the motor (hand painted blue blocks, etc.) i drill hole on bottom and put the front axle thru it to make it hold thats the only way i can think of - i didnt want to glue it down. the wheelie bar is from a resistor from radio shack i had left overs just bend it and paint black on the end and glue them to the body. the body is painted in metallic red with grave digger, rat rod, flames and iron cross decals. I am trying to make something to make it look like a bad a$$ drag car something different. it's sitting on afx specialty 4 gear chassis. Well let me know what you guys think. and this is my second time entering the contest and i thought the deadline is nov 30th? not today?

I know i wont win this one but this was fun to make and for bobzilla's baronvagen - i think its the best looking car thus far. I am sure bill hall has something up his sleeves!! :thumbsup:

Okay,
Here is mine. It's a '57 Chevy Hardtop. I took the A/FX '55 Chevy and A/FX '57 Chevy Nomad and cut, chopped, dremeled, painted, had a whole lot of fun doing it. This was the end result. Randy.

Can you send a rear end picture and give some details. I've wanted to try that likewise, just didn't know where to start cutting. The 57 has always had the best body stance. Could be a winner!!! RLM

Nooooooooooooooo yours is better.....Har (Voter for Pedro)

I see some very Sweet cars here *shaking in my shoes*...oh Man!

Bob...zilla

That bug is too cool! Taking road rage to another level... Great job Bob!

Wes, everyone knows I like drag cars. Your ride blows me away. Very clean & mean looking for 3 different car bodies.

A/FX, Very classy! Doesn't look like you missed any detail. Excellent!

This is the one that I did for the contest. It is a Tyco 440-X2 Tbird body that I mounted to a Tjet. Injector and parachute are from a Muscle Machine. I made the wing out of lexan. Wheelie bars I made out of piano wire, wheels do roll. Added decals over the 2 tone paint and cleared. Lexan windows. Sitting on top of Vincent rims. This was a fun build for me but as I look at the competition, it's not enough. Great job guys! At the bottom is a link of my build for this car.

Does this look like a piece of crap? You like those spinnin' tires do ya?

Here's my version of the pile Joe Dirt 'stole' while his Hemi was in the shop, having a barefoot gas pedal installed. I used this site as a reference point: http://www.californiaclassix.com/archive/69_Joe_Dirt_Daytona.html

Naturally my pics are lacking since my digi cam is only so so and my photog skills are garbage. It started out as a chrome pink JL charger daytona from the Mopar Madness series. I stripped all the chrome, plucked the blower and filled the hole in the hood, and cut out the molded in hideaway lites, making one cover all crookedly closed, the other stuck in the open position. The rear mags started out as some cruddy super magnatraction rear wheels with the flange ground down and mounted in tyco silicones. The fronts are mismatched like Joe's real car, but were taken from JL pullback chassis. A modified 'stocker' wheel is on the passenger side front, while a t-jet 500 mag is on the drivers side. The whole car was painted and weathered just like the real thing and rolls on the same JL X-Traction from the original car but with the front custom lowered for that 'redneck rake' that would go perfect with a mullet and some Skynard 8-tracks.

So is that where you wanna be when Jesus comes back? Not votin' for little ole' Joe?

WesJY , Dranoel Dragon.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the complemints.

I don't think it's as good as what I'm seeing from you guys, but it was a lot of fun building it. The '57 Hardtop was the first one I did and I have a secind one in the works. Randy.

I added another picture of the '57 Chevy to the post.

Thanks Bob, I love your VW Bug, Dranoel Dragon's truck is real sweet, WesJY's and SKRcustoms's drag cars are great, the schoolbus yellow Can-Am car is great.

Nice cars to all. Randy.

Can you tell the connection??? That should about do it for the yellow, except for the one in the spray booth. I'll try to start buying small cans. Even the grass has a yellow reflection. The AFX 56 Ford truck is the "contest entry". Keep the pictures coming guys, contest or no contest, it's not all about the prize money!!! RLM

Maybe you should change your name to "Two Paints Raceway". ;)

Seriously though, those all look great. I have a few yellow projects I'm working on too.

Judging will start tomarrow unless anyone needs more time for finishing touches if so please let me know ASAP! We'll be looking at both threads so if your pics. are in the other one that's ok.

Not much and i rushed it at the end.. but I wanted to finish it.. lol.. Even has interior but I can not take close ups yet.. I'll figure this camera out yet!!

Coach

Fer youse guys that are bustin' my chops in the wrong thread I'll respond here....cuz "I" reads da destructions...BEFORE I threw them away.

The Polish lathe is merely and adaptation on my light bulb replacement technique...dizzying? Yes!..No brains no headache...so systems normal here at model murdering.

The vandalized whistling culls are just the ticket for scaring away those pesky HO deer that could potentially jump out and ruin a perfectly good hood or roof!

Now for the Field...

As Coach pointed out a ways back, the bar has been flung into outer space.
Hilltops builds are so sano... he must be a relative of Mr Clean. SKR has taken the drag car to the level of artistry...just unreal! Joez took a childhood fantasy and made it a reality. Take that Die Casters! No need to push that one around while going vroooom vroooom.

Baron von 'Zilla took a car we would have been satisfied with and rebuilt it into a gol darned "Riddler" car. The 50 caliber road rage guns kill me...and you too...if you dont use yer turn signal. He also provide the really nice play by play build updates too.

Randys '57 Hardtop is just flat pretty. What a skookum build! Grunge's Joe Dirt theme car classic had me on the floor in pain I was laughing so hard...there will however be a slight deduction for failing to include the Joe mullet. :devil: I had seen some early spy pics of Wes's drag car...I love the stance...and the voodoo you do Wes.

We'd heard rumors of Coach feverishly flinging resin...on his key board, other hand stuck to his forehead... but he still managed to pack a wallop of detail in that period '57. Per usual Yoder is well out of the box with the thunder drag bike...amazing! I'm sure we'd all like some more intell on that build...hint hint.

Leonard and his Schneider 16 never ceases to amaze as he takes two of the unlikeliest victims and blends them into something off the chart...who'd a thunk it and why didnt I thunk of that? Although I'm not much of an open wheel guy (mainly because I drive like a chimp on quaaludes) Is there anything prettier than a nicely detailed racer like Fast Lap and 'Doba's offerings.

VJ flat out triple dog dared us by posting another Riddler type entry with his innovative Roll's Rod...like the first week ...talk about throwin down early. We all knew we were in trouble after that! LOL.

As for my Lincoln Street Rod it fell way short of expectation...those hand fabbed, "Made in Poland" lenses were only the half of it...a sad tale of triumph and tragedy. She was built on a flame thrower chassis. The Linc's lenses were fiber optically fired during the final stages. All that was left was to cut the fiber optic bundle to it's final length and install the chassis.

The body fits like a skin. Of course there was some concern about the optic whiskers and the gear rack tangling...no doubt that a vegamatic episode would occur, so they were gently tacked into the under body seams... I was minutes from glory...er so I thought. During a minor 'lil repositioning of the optic bundle the bomb dropped...CA killed the fiber optics flexibility. :cry: The bundle broke like last weeks Thanksgiving wish bone. I'm sure you heard about it on the news. "A 3.2 Earthquake out here on the peninsula!" Well that was me going off into the outer limits of a four year olds tantrum :rolleyes:

To add insult to injury, my good for nuthin' crew cheif, Gus, was fast asleep at the wheel when he should have been taking some shots of the mock up during night time R&D sessions.

Originally slated for the Punkin Willy's the fiber optic was tabled cuz it just didnt seem right to put working lamps on a gasser and other technical difficulties ...like being way behind on the build...LOL.

Looks like third time might be the charm. I should have used clear silicone to mount the lenses to the body so that the silly things could be removed for service. It was all going good til I touched it. Wadda tard! So obviously a coupla retrofits are in order further up the pipeline.

What a great show guys! I dont envy the judges. Yoder never did post where to send the bribes....?????
