FireBird Nostalgia FC Done.

[M.R. Ogle]

Okay, it's done.. no longer a "Project in Progress". This one's pretty much a wrap.

[Mike Casey]

came out great! That LRU sticker in the front corner REALLY sets it off!

By the way, the decals came today! Thanks!!!

[M.R. Ogle]

Proud to wear the "LRU" logo on the front fender... more cars SHOULD!

Mike:

Thanks, guys...

My motor is set quite a bit farther back in the car than the dunmmy scoop. That would be a good trick to get it to feed the carb, though.

I think I'm going to try to make some solid-disc "Centerline" type front wheels for it, too. Those would be a more period-correct detail. There's several patterns of 40-series T-Maxx rims like that (which are all approx 4" in diameter) that I can narrow up and ream out to fit a pair of flanged bearings for the front.

Hmmmmm.. Let me guess.. Krylon Crystal Tint Base U.V. Gloss??

[Bryant]

Very nice job. Mike that's the best looking body I have seen On a 1/4 scale funny car.
Awesome!

[M.R. Ogle]

Bryant, those bodies are going to be available from LRU, thanks again to Mike Casey who had the mold made. I 'd bet one would drop right on your FC chassis.

Old-style nostalgia Funny Car match racing, anyone?

[Bryant]

Hey Mike C. thanks For the mold And the chance to purchase the Camaro/Firebird body. Also a thanks to Mike O.
for lengthening the body for the mold.
Thanks a lot guys!!!!!!

[M.R. Ogle]

That's funny... I have kids...I'm sure I've stepped on one of those in the middle of the night....

[M.R. Ogle]

Eightman did his all in one pic... I cheated and took a photo of the Pomona drag strip. me at Dromo One (go kart track) and my old Q-Scale funny (note the Pacesetter front wheels)... all run through PhotoShop....

[Mike Casey]

man you were young in that shot!!!

I gotta try some of these tricks with my wiener.

[M.R. Ogle]

Like 1996 or 1997... 12 or 13 years ago.

I remember Garry Shandling making this joke:

"I had a big full-length mirror installed above my bed... yeah, that's really true. And down in the corner of the mirror, in really small print, it says "Objects in the mirror are LARGER than they appear".
