Bought this project a few months ago with the hopes of getting into 1/4 drag racing at the local track with the guys of the Brooklyn Quarterscale Club. After receiving it I came to find out that it needed more than I thought. So after doing research on the infamous Quarterscale Legends Forums, I came across a local guy Bob(Smitty)Smith. Brought my project out to him and left it in his hands. Come to find out thru a few guys at the club, hes the man around these parts when it comes to quarterscales. Just to let u guys know alittle about Bob Smith. He works out of a little section in his parents garage with just enough space to breath comfortably. "BUT", he turns out "Quality" pieces that still has me baffled ! If anyone chooses to deal with Bob Smith, beleive me it'll be one of the smartest choices uve ever made. Prices are extremely reasonable and the quality is second to none.Well heres my 1/4 scale Drag Pick-up. Bob did the rear-end,motor and trans.

Body painted. Did the best I could do, so dont laugh to hard(lol) ! ! ! ! Also I found a guy who sells bodies so I'll pick up another one and send that one out to be professionally painted.
