Nice finishing touch Chris! :thumbsup:

Am I starting to see some fade in those flames? :thumbsup:

Here is one of my favorites. Remember when the gasser would have wild paint jobs with candy paint,fish scale graphics, pinstripe panels that never ended .

Now this will tell your age..LOL
Lets see if anyone ever seen this car run on a Pa track in the 60's and 70's..
Hint: it was maple grove and a few others.. :confused:
The guy ran the car till 1971 , retired the Willys to go and work on the crew for "Jungle Jim". It was called " Jack Ripper".
Enjoy..
Bill, we already know you and Joe seen Henry Ford drag a Model "T "..jk...

PS.. After doing this car I needed eyes realigned. :freak:
just to see the brush....:eek:

Awesome!!

Hey Hilltop.... Bruce HAD to have used the JL body for his mold, they're exactly alike. I use the interiors and the chrome engine and add them to Bruce's body.

Thanks again VJ and nice looking truck you got!!! I don't know who cast my body, I picked it up at a toy show several years ago. It didn't have a tailgate. I already had it painted before I found the diecast stuff. The interior on the diecast I used is a little different. It's a JL Showstopper diecast, has a single seat in the middle with steering wheel in the middle and a roll cage. I guess it's just another variation. Thanks again!!! RM

If you go to Don Garlits Drag Racing Museum in Florida the first Thing you see once you get past thee retail area is The Little Red Wagon with the wheels in the air.It's a great place to see great drag cars

Hey Hill... they have 2 different versions... one has 2 seats and chrome stacks on the engine, the other is the single seat version with a scoop on the engine. Also, one is painted flat red while the other is a candy red.. JL made at least 2 different version because the Wagon changed over the years.

Ps.. like your truck alot!

I got to meet Bil Golden at the Mopar nats,great guy!Looks like a grizzled drag veteran,soo cool!

VJ, I kind'a thought there were different variations, kind'a like slotcars. I did notice your stacks, which look better to me, than the blower. I had thought about putting in black tinted windows, but the roll cage looks too cool. Thanks again for mentioning the diecast interior swap-out. RM

Sweet looking Goat! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Hard to get a good pic of black without the speckles sometimes.

Drag,
They just keep getting better, I'm really happy with how you took that sample of the stencils and have taken the flame work on a H.O. from a hope of a Tampo from a Manufacturer to where you have it now. In days gone by if we wanted flames we used decals that were available,sometimes it just didn't work for the body we had, other options were rob a 1/25 kit or the trusty I'll just draw/paint em on myself.. the last option usually was a disaster for me.
Beautiful work,,keep it up..

Wow, Wow, ....holy Wow!

Sweet looking Goat! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Daaaaang Chris! I gotta go with rr on this one...arguably yer best flame job yet!

I'm voting for the GTO!!! Metallic red and gold flames - doesn't get any better!!! The flames look like there coming from under the hood, fantastic!!!

There are some nice cars in this thread and just don't want to see it fade away...

Bob...zilla

Cool cars!!! Look like they could run on gas to me!!! A little Nitro in the trunk wouldn't hurt...RM

maybe this could run gas????

Yes Sir, W-43, definately gas!!! Good looking 62!!! Years ago my dad bought a used 61 Chevy Impala, get this, the car had been ordered from the factory - a factory 4 door hardtop with a factory 4 speed, 348, positive traction. Silver with red interior, straight bench seats, had the poss sticker in the trunk. Mom or dad always started off in first, shifted to third, then fourth. I thought second gear was only for racing, what did I know!!! Sorry for reflecting back...RM

maybe this could run gas????

bad a$$ looking car man!!!!! :thumbsup: and why not run on gas!!! :)

Wes
