Complete: 1999 Mustang Drag Car
Well, this one is FINALLY up and on the shelf. This has been in progress since April. It has been finished for a week or two now. I just now got some decent pictures so I could get a Completed thread up. If you want to see some in progress shots go here: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=402003 . I'll give you a quick run down of the Mods, All frame and cage work was done with brass
Scratchbuilt parts Frame wheelie bar Cage Interior Tub Rear Wing electronics board pedals blower blanket diaper headers Resin parts: Bestresin.com- MSD Box Sun Pro Tach w/ Shift Light Perrysresin.com- Battery Box Fuel Cell Pulley's and belt topendminiatures.com- Lenco Transmission Competition Resins Blower Hat PE Parts Quick Turn Fasteners Kit Parts Most kit peices came from either the Mcdonalds funny car or the Mobile 1 dragster Seat Steering Wheel axle engine blower parachute front tires (not sure where rear tires came from) I'll outline a couple of things, how I did a few things The headers are made from solder the blast blankets are from cloth medical tape painted flat black tire lettering is done in acrylic white lettering is dry transfer parachute shroud line is fishing line Enough with the boring stuff and on to the pictures. I hope that you enjoy, I know that I have enjoyed every bit of this build! C&C encouraged

Re: Complete: 1999 Mustang Drag Car
oh, a couple more quick comments. This was originally labeled a pro mod build. but that it is not. all but the engine set up resembles something more like an outlaw 10.5 car. or an outlaw street. Something like what Billy Glidden Runs. The engine is not correct for any lower class drag car, as they wouldn't be running two magneto's or twin fuel pumps. but I like it. lol
Just to toot my own horn a little, I think I NAILED the stance on this thing. I LOVE it

Re: Complete: 1999 Mustang Drag Car
Very nice man. I like all of the little details - gives me some ideas for my Merc. Did you make those headers?
Good job on the 'Stang!

Re: Complete: 1999 Mustang Drag Car
yep. The headers were made out of plumbers solder and some aluminum tubing and plastic stock for flanges. If a mod could add Completed Drag Contest Entry: 1999 Mustang Drag Car. thank you

Re: Complete: 1999 Mustang Drag Car
wow great work on the chassis/frame! The car looks very menacing
 I think it woulda helped though if you painted the black trim on the windshield |

Re: Complete: 1999 Mustang Drag Car
