New Project!! Pocket Rocket Funny Car

Thanks for the stories memories man!~

If anyone has any pictures please share. Heard so many cool stories while I had it in the Autorama.

Everybody is sure to point out it was dead quite and the crowd would count down from 10, then BBBBSSSSHHHHHHHEEEEEWWWW and it was gone!

Had over 100 adults & kids sit in it, Mat with his Old Lady & met some cool people like Ken Mott, Wild Bill & Got to hang out with "Top Cop", Mr. Bill.

Below are some of my pics:

This is a great thread!!! John you did an awesome job restoring that thing!!!

 

Thanks for the compliments! I had a lot of fun with the car over the summer. I am still making steps towards starting it but the full size Hotrod gets my attention first.

 

I wonder what it would do on the salt.

 

Haven't started it yet ?

When I first found this thread I thought it was a Vega body by Rupp modified.
Thanks for the info on another scale fiberglass car body to add to my files.
Most of the ones I deal with are 3/8 scale Mustangs.
Some photos of the Rupp bodies and one of my Mustangs
