Hello Hizoot, thanks for the compliments, I am still working on the Chip King it's just hard to get motovated so progress is slow. I am also working on the EngineMasters VW alcohol funnycar, I really torn the body apart to get it to look like my reference photo. I hope it turns out the way I want it to look. It's got so much Tenax that I'm going to have to let it sit for at least a month to evaporate  . Here's a pic of the body.  Now I'm thinking about pro-moding a body like this...Bob |

If you happen to see this VW let me know, I would like to pick your brain on this engine. If you know anything about this car you know it's a rad. engine. Maybe if your at Rte. 66 I'll bring some photos or mybe we can meet somewhere. Anyway let me now, I could sure use your input..........Bob

Hey John, Thank you for the compliments, this was the most enjoyable and challenging build for me so far. I really got into this one sometimes spending all day on the weekends working on it (hadn't done that in a looooong time). I finally when to Orange county on Tuesday to pick up the mirrored stand and a bottle of tenax. I think I spent about 2 hours talking to the lady that works there, she seems to be a nice person, sales people usually don't have time for you, so I ended up not going to my favorite mexican food take out in Santa ana, Oh well maybe next time so that means that I am still sticking to my diet  |

DJ,
Thank you, I appreciated it coming from you. Seeing some of your builds up close at the Kit bashers meetings and the model shows really inspired me to try harder. Hope to see more of your builds in the future. Thanks .....Bob

This is one good looking build Bob. I got a chance to see it at the LLCNNL, looked great then, even better now. Certainly another contender for B.O.S.!

Rusty,
Thanks for the comments, I hope it grabs peoples attention, unfortunatly alot of people do not know who Jack Chrisman is so I think I will have to show the magazine with the model, I had just finished the model about 1:00 am the night before the show so I did not have time to prepare for it. Next show I will be ready and I hope people will appreciate who Jack Chrisman was and his career in drag racing......... Thanks Bob
