This is the one I started from scratch.The John Force Oldsmobile bodt has been drastically altered.I used a Funny Car engine but changed it also.The under carraige is the 57 Deals Wheels chassis that has also been drastically changed and tubbed.I have a fuel cell that will go underneath in the back and i will be adding a cage under also.I'll keep updating as i go along.

I said I would keep you updated.I finally got the body in primer and the chassis completed.Remember that this 1/25 scale body was drastically altered as well as the chassis.I cut a rearend in half so I could place it and if you can see I cut the top off a couple of shocks to show shock hook up.The cage system is hand made.I cut down the headers so I could place them under the side of the body rather than the wheel well.I am in the middle of finishing off the interior and will post once I got it done Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted |

This is the completed cage and interior.I equipped it with a fuel shutoff switch and 2 extinguisher bottles.I added some hair to my driver and the helmet and goggles as well with the McDonalds logos on the helmet.I made the hands so one is gripping the steering wheel and the other is on the side of the cage.

Here's the latest update.I just need to finish cutting down the windows and putting them in.I made the open chutes myself by cross cutting them , heating them and pushing them open.I made the chute stands myself and added some wheelie wheels.I'm going to try and make some other chute stands that aren't so noticable.I also added the vent pipes that go from the valve cover to the frame rails.I used the original decals for the car.
