Michael's showrod contest entry

[fredmellini]

This was a build that I started awhile back and had only radiused the rear wheel wells of the boat and removed/cut the rear axle from the funny car chassis and then shelved this build. Michael was digging through my stash and decided he wanted to finish/complete this build. I said go ahead and enter it in the contest. So he started working on it and took some of the tubing from the gravedigger monster truck chassis and built the rear support for the rear axle and the supports for the boat body. This is the larger/darker tubing on the rear end of the chassis. So other than the modification I initially made, the rest will be 100% his doing/building.

this is what I had done (rear axle is not attached-just sitting there for photo)


this is what Michael has done


sorry this one is fuzzy

damn you Mellini's! I've been holding off my Pirate ship dragster for the contest! and yours is considerably more powerful (mine sports a V6)!

seriously though it looks brilliant, pehaps you should do more builds together!

Now that's an idea I wouldn't have thought of ... really like where this looks to be going!
