This could work. I would think we should have better access to a kit readily available to make a drag car of some sort out of, and with no year, or make restrictions, is do able.
I'm in, have nothing in mind at the moment, but I have a few unbuilts, should be able to dig up something.
How's 6 months sound?? Say, April 10/2006???

I dont think I could finish my Nova within 6 months....... lol it would be pushing it.. lol but I will try.. anyone else got any input on this topic?
i would agree dan, no restrictions, besides it has to be a drag car of some sort ( weekend warrior, pro mod, pro stock, top fuel, funny car etc...... )

Hey, everybody. Sorry I haven`t been around for awhile, just got a lot of stuff going on right now, and also working on my helicopter. I saw this and I might just join in this build. First, I don`t have ANY drag cars in my collection, and second, I`ve always wanted to build a model of the drag car my cousin raced in the 70s, a 62 Vette that was in one of the gas classes, I think. I got a picture of that car somewhere, I`ll see if I can find it.

Here's another idea-man, I'm full of them. How about the end date the same as the school year, and if you fail (better not) you get another year to build???

Ok, I found a picture of the car I will build, this Vette was raced by my cousin in the late 70s, and ran in NHRA F/G class. If my memory is right, it had a 283 engine and 4 spd. I`m looking forward to this and will try to check in here with progress pics from time to time.  |

Nice! are you gonna super detail it?

Well, not really. I don`t want to get bogged down doing superdetailing, but I WILL probably wire the engine. The AMT kit isn`t that accurate, but its not that big of a deal to me....just going for the right "look", especially with the paint......you know, something that will be fun to build!

I'm going to raid my unbuilts boxes, looking for a specific part for my 56 Vicky. If I find what I need, I just may change my mind about the Yankee challenge and do another build instead. I have a 54 Chevy Panel delivery van, and I've been building this kit in my head for 2 days now! Hmmmm. That could be interesting, and different.
I'll let you know.
