Nice build! Love the old funny cars. You really are capturing the look of the country girl car.

I recall seeing the Knox couple with a nicely painted Barracuda funny car at a Natick, MA car show about 1974 or 75. I don't remember ever seeing their Duster before, so it must have been an earlier car. It's a sharp looking car too.

No work on the car since the last post, but I have to "brag" a bit :D
In the race last night on the SPE drag strip, in a field of 28 entries, it qualified 5th with a .703 run (TQ was .680).
I was quite happy with the build at this point. But against a stout field of cars, it worked it's way thru and into the final and won the race!! :banana-dance:
So yes, I'm really happy with how the build is going so far. This week, I hope to work on the final preps on the body to get it ready for paint and decals.
Driveline components consist of using a H&R Lightning motor (40k) running a 10/30 gear ratio. Tires are homemade urethanes using kit tires as a mold.
