I hoping to start this after I finish the Twin Engine build! I gathered all this together 10 years ago and it needs to go together...  So far, the only thing glued together is the chassis connected to the tubs...  This is the way the car originally sat...  But I took a little design liberties, and will go with this...  Thanks for looking!...Joe |

Nice progress. You can always say that it's the restored car.  |

Mopar Missile is one of my favorite all-time drag cars. Looks like you have a good start. The "Wire-Car" is quite interesting if you haven't heard of it, some pic's and the story here. www.allpar.com/racing/missile/wire-car.html |

Wayne, that's the look I'm going for! Styrene, it's one of my favorite too! And besides my first car was a '71 duster, so it has a special place for me.  , the wire car is quite interesting! tubs, I'll have to check into that wire car more...Joe |

Can't go wrong with a Ross Gibson engine. Looking forward to this one.

Mustang, I got this Ross Gibson engine with this car in mind. I actually purchased it from Ross himself about a year before he passed!...Joe

What am I gonna do for decent engines??? Then I took a long look around at the AM world and see that there are some pretty good engines out there now. I still have a couple of his left in the stash though. |
