So we made some changes, some of which are pictured here..
Bob made a real nice front wing, the body came great, but was not complete in these pictures, so I didn't want to focus on that just yet.
The pictures I am showing are to show the detail in the front wing and the tire swap, going from Foam to BRP rubber...

New front rims are in the works, next set of pictures should show the body painted, new wheels on and car about 98% complete.

Thanks

Update:

Car has come along way since my last post, Bob has worked some long nights getting everything ready for it's first showing at the Wram show on the 25th of this month.
Only thing left now is to apply the decals this weekend.

Enjoy

That looks excellent! Good luck at the WRAM show. I remember going to WRAM about 15 + years ago and seeing the Conley Viper V10 fire up in the test stand. Not something you'd easilly forget.

I was just trying to influence the judges to sway my way in the RC car voting.
Although I took 3rd place, this girl was dying to touch my rail...lol

Your dragster looks good! :)

Is this the N.Y. Wram show? Do you have pictures of the other 1/4 cars in the backgound?
