While digging up some old NASCAR build pictures to re post in the Showroom I stumbled across this build I did a long time ago. I ended up selling this one not long after I built it. Kind of crappy old pictures, but you get the idea.. Box stock with kit decals, but I did remake the grill decal because I didn't like the kit grill decal. I don't remember what exactly I didn't like about it.

Great looking build!
Those were the days when you could actually tell what car a Funny Car actually was supposed to represent! Cool

For a while after what I think was referred to as the "batmobile" body style came out (Kenny Bernstein) I didn't follow the drags much but then things evolved a little bit more and live coverage came along I started watching again and I like it ... just can't beat the sight and sound of a 10,000 hp fuel car running down the track!!!

But you still cannot beat the pounding you feel in your chest as a top fuel or funny car fires up close by at the track! Cool

I built this one a long time ago. I don't remember what blue I used. I do remember that I tried a few different ones before I settled on the one I did used.
