2015 Fall Funny Car Classic!
When you make your entry list, put me down to race, too. I've got an interesting idea for this.
What was the ruling on these floppers, to have bodies that hinge or is it not necessary?
Thanks
- Hinged bodies are not required, you may have the body secured solid to the chassis if you would like. — KandORacing
Ah crap...forgot I need to dig out some funnies for this. No time to mod but I wanna send in some stock hefties to see how they do.
(Metal note: Add feature to site that will send out an email reminder for events)
whipped this up tonight... sitting at 90g

- As intended...By Henry... see ya trackside! — Traction-Event
- the way god and henry intended ! — fordman
I only have two funny cars in my collection, but they both have bent axles so I thought I'd have a go at one or both for this......
But getting at the back wheels w/o destroying the hinge seems impossible. Anyone got ideas on doing that, or done it yet?
I know the final project doesn't have to open anymore, but if I can, I'd like to keep it functional for the spirit of the event.
- I'll post a pic of mine tomorrow, trimmed just enough with a dremel — Traction-Event
- heat a steel shaft layed on your electric burner, then hold it agaist the body's prongs... a little heat will let them bend and not break... — fordman
Mo, I try to trim just enough to wiggle the body loose, then you can alomst have a "snap" fit. Its easy to go to far, and if mine gets any looser I'll JB qwik it in place

- Sure thing, TE! Yeah, they've been around a long time! — 72_Chevy_C10
Team paint... yup had to dig deep but I found another... little different

My funnies will be shipping out tomorrow and should arrive just in time for deadline. Didn't have time or inventory to do a mod so I'm sending in my best trio of stock Funny Cars. The star of which was a Fantasy League champ.
