P-51 Funny Car

[Rob]

Nothing spectacular. In fact just kind of average. I'll do better on the 55 next. Put some Plumbing and wiring in next time.

I loved watching Shirley Muldowny when I was a kid

I see some wrinkling on the stripes on the hood. Poke tiny holes with a pin and go over it with some Micro Sol. It should smooth it out. Funny car looks great.

Thanks. I will try that. That's what I used to do when I flew radio control airplanes. Back then we built the airplanes so when you were putting on your details on your monocoat you'd have to iron it real low temperature and poke pins in the air bubbles. I have to admit that funny car did turn out pretty good, thank you. My next car build I want the kit to be way more sophisticated so I can detail it more. Something like a Tamia kit?

After reading the title of this thread, I was really hoping to see a North American P-51 Mustang inspired hot rod!
P-51 being one of my favorite WW2 fighters.

Instead, I see Shirley Muldowney's car that I saw race back in the day.
Very nice indeedy.

I'm guessing you meant to say "Mach 1" Mustang (since thats what it is), and not a P51.

I too thought it was going to be a drag car decked out with camo and "Invasion Stripes" but it's all good as I got in here and saw this super build of a Muldowney car. Good work on this Rob.
