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

Nice!

looks awesome Dickie. Any luck finding decals?

That is going to be an awesome tribute! Love the mods you are doing with the front wheel humps!

Awesome build
I do love a good drag 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.

Wow! This is a great build thread! Thanks for sharing, looks great!

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.

got to love that
well done
