Jeep Funny Car

Have been working on this for awhile now stretching the body to suit the chassis and running gear off the bantam Blast kit with the body being from Italeri . Paint will follow some sort of Army theme.



Cheers Peter

its going to be wild

Certainly a different project, she'll be something cool when done!

My type of build!
When I was doing the ManX I went through an aussie camo stage & was thinking about doing a simple peelback effect on the nose to expose some rusty metal (yes I Know it was fibreglass). Maybe that would look OK
Looking forward to the finished product

Very much like the "Secret Weapon" funny car of the mid-60's. That had a camo paint job and was quite the runner. I think it took out a couple of titles along the way. Looking good.

Nice project - this is really going to be something different.

This looks like a great project coming up. I've always thought Jeeps would make a good hot rod. When I found this one on the Internet I knew I was right.




Good luck with your design.

Speed city are making 2 jeep's

I based this model on the "Secret Weapon" "destroyer " Holy Toledo " funny cars of the sixties . I spotted the Speed City resin kits recently on there site . Look good and would have saved a bit of trial and error.

Thanks for looking peter.
