Hey All
Well...I was sitting at my bench the other night man working on my Challenger Funny Car. I was looking at the chutes man & BAM!!! I had a thought....I could use them for something lol..So I pulled out one of my T'rantula kits man & started playing Smile

Because this had to be a drag car Razz Razz

I have sectioned the body and made it a bit tougher looking man, played around with the chute and cut that down to fit. I'm thinking I will add chords to the chute also man running down to the front sway bars lol

Let me know what ya think dudes or have I gone completely insane WHAAAAAAAHHHHH

hmm, never thought of doing THAT with a chute (but considered using it as a deployed parachute, with wire to look like it's catching air)
