Looks good but I can assure you that funny car never had a halibrand quick change rear end in it. That axle would never survive one launch. It would have had a Ford 9” in it.

The stoped!! Have you seen the March model review. 👎 I was actually amazed. The '40 Ford 2 door sedan isn't bad!!

@@anthonyhendricks7377 I just built that 39 ford kit, same box art but early version it was fun. Chrysler looks good too. Not every month can be a winner though 😆

I might have to add this to my collection; Keith Black was my grandfather and I had the pleasure of meeting Shirley a few times over the years. What a neat kit!

Kieth Black - inventor of the cam ground pistons - that "distorted to round when up to running temps. Still used in all car engines today. Pistons used to be made round and would go oval at temp, causing oil burning and reduction in power. Kieth is STILL one of my heros ! ! !

Oh wow, very very cool @SolamenteVees

Shirley was a trooper. If she wanted to do something - ANYTHING - she did it. Her track records tell the story. Her movies are good as well. Dig this build - thanks...

Very cool, love the vintage Funny Cars!!!!👍🏁🏁👍

Love the funny cars.. I had the McCulloch 1/16 kit.. They are the best

hey Chris, I looked for other youtube videos of the same subject that you are building, BUT most do not exist and the ones the do, SUCK!!! Keep upi the Great builds!!!

Shirley “Cha-Cha” Muldowney, she was badass

Very nice cool she was called the Queen of drag racing.

Nice build -thanks.

Great kit. I watch videos of the old style funny car races. Great review and great work. I like it, have a nice day.

Wow! This kit brings back some memories.... I built this kit when it first came out in '72 er '73... Damn, I'm old....🥸😎👍

I like it, your build turned out great. The "Heart like a Wheel" movie is very good as well.

I like the fact this kit has a driver figure and open parachutes included - would make it suitable for a diorama. Shame the driver figure isn't molded in a way that makes life easier in terms of installing it with all the other chassis parts in place, but part of this hobby is finding creative solutions to such dilemmas. I recently built a plane where the instructions recommended amputating the pilot figure so he could fit into the completed cockpit.

I put my comment in the wrong place sorry. So beautiful car. It would not have had a halibrand quick change rear end, it would not stand the horsepower. The small side wings are canard wings and work with the down force created by the exhaust which produces more down force than you might think.about 700lbs per pipe. The small tank is called a puck tank and catches blow by from the crank case. I’ve worked for a few nhra teams over the years and met Shirley numerous times great person. Hope this helps some.

Funny cars can be humorous.

Yeah, they're a gas!

You raised a good point about the figure😲. I'd go for cutting the feet apart and warming legs over a candle,to soften,then bending them out. Amputation should be the last resort,as I think the legs will remain visible🤔

Nice workmanship Chris, The back window should be taped off and painted silver to look like an Airbrushed window.

Very nice Christopher

Cool! My mom met Shirley Muldowney and got her autograph. Heart Like a Wheel is a good movie, even for people who aren't racing fans.

The correct new Buterra frame instead of the '66 LSC one. Outstanding. Chucho Agrelot

Great build as always. Love the early floppers!!! Body has to plan ahead and heat that driver to get it in. Can't wait to add Shirley's car to my collection.

That was Connie Kalittas old car, Cha-Cha and him worked out a deal on his funny car when he went top fuel. Nevertheless, I gotta get hers cause I’ve already that when it was his car, with his name and stuff all over it.

This is really a neat kit. You did an excellent job putting it together. Thanks for sharing.

Glad they finally did the correct car! The last one MPC did as the Muldowney car was like a 74 Road Runner! Totally wrong! LOL! Although she did run a Plymouth Satellite. and that would be a cool kit as well. But, this is the old Blue Max funny car that became quite a few others, including Connie Kalitta's Mustang, which in real life became this car.

Another awesome looking build as always Chris the motor looks GREAT an thanks for the time you invest for us

Great job on your Muldowney flopper Chris! 🤙🏼

That looks AWESOME 👍👍

Great build 👍

The fire suit is not asbestos. It's Nomex

I don't remember Shirley being so flat chested. 🤪🤪🤪

Very cool👍😎. One of my heroes 👍. It would be nice if round2 would do some modern dragster with markings for some of the new girls👍😎. Thanks for showing and best wishes from jolly old England 👍😎Pete 🤓

Cool as always. 👍

Love this kit, but wish they would release the Sattilite funny car she used as well, plus the front of these mpc funny cars sat up too far.

"There is nothing funny about Funny Cars!" Nice job , would like to see you start adding wiring

The big fault is the tinwork. It must be cut to fit up into the back of the windshield, and the top of the engine cover will require modifying the portion covering the injector. The injector hat from Polar Lights kits is lower and will provide better clearance. These kits can be made to ride much lower and in correct stance.

Hello Sir! I really like your videos! everything described very well and in detail. I also like to look at them when I'm working on something. best regards

Was there in ‘72 at Dragway 42 in West Salem, when “Cha Cha” caught fire in a funny car for the first time. Very scary situation.

Real nice job mate👍

Those front wheels were magnesium, so I would mix some silver with some light, 1:04:46 flat grey for the center for sure.

Trivial question for you'll. Who signed Shirley Muldowney licenses to drag racing? The car looks great as always Chris.

I definitely like to see more moebius f100 kits preferably that 72 sport custom

I really enjoy watching this channel. You’re great and presenting the models, and breaking down all the options they offer. Your models come out great and it’s motivating me to start doing models for my sons room, until he’s old enough to start working on them with me. I remember how I enjoyed building them as a kid and the skill it taught me were great… Question do you have to prep the model car body before painting them? Do you have to clean it with a chemical or something, or can you just paint it right out if the box? Keep up the great work… Thanks Anthony

I'm going to pull out my Strike Force Corvette.,and look at it. This seems to have many pieces That looked the same or close. The frame rails, the driver, the headers. Like you said they switch or add parts between the same manufacturers different kits.

Back then MPC was infamous for using stock bodies and outdated frames. Box art was used to "mask" the fakery ! Memphis Dan LeLoLai

great build , onna kool kit...Rock onnn Chris...kutgw RJ

❤❤❤ "" THAT IS SWEET "" ❤❤❤

Surely it's Shirley.

Hi There, Nice video and nice job on the build. What glue are you using for the windshield?

My experience with using Keith Black's engines all are Dodge engines, i run a Hemi on my pulling tractor

What glue are you using? White lid with brush?

Do you spray the chrome parts with a dull coat so the panel liner can spread?

What kind of glue do you use

What does he use to wash his bodies can anyone tell me?

Love your channel but don't like the new upside down camera 📹 angle.

Thanks, but you must not have watched a video in almost three years because I've been doing the building session part of the review with the overhead camera in every video for that long. Have a great day!

The rear tires are wrong.. Not goodyears. Look at decals on rear quarter says “ M& H tires. Round 2 screwed up.
