Fearless Fred Returns

[6bblbird]

Not sure if I ever posted this car here. Lost the photos for a long time do to the hosting site shutting down. I recently found that I had the pics on an old phone and I recovered them.?

I always loved this car. It was the only road runner Funny Car that I know of. It was certainly not very aerodynamic but it did hold the NHRA speed record for a time in 1969.

I tried to use a resin body at first but it just didn't look quite right. The johan body was perfect. Tin and chassis are from the parts box.

I was ecstatic to get the photos back but I just realized that I don't know where the actual model is. Gotta be packed away somewhere. Too many moves in a short period of time.

Pretty sure that Fred Goeske's car was an influence on my future choice for my 1:1 race car!

Thanks. No, I recently finished a total restoration on the car and sold it (my retirement money). It turned out to be a pretty good long term investment

Nice replica. I always thought this was a cool funny car, too. A supercharged brick.
