Funny Car is a type of drag racing vehicle and a specific racing class in organized drag racing. Funny cars are characterized by having tilt-up fiberglass or carbon fiber automotive bodies over a custom-fabricated chassis, giving them an appearance vaguely approximating manufacturers' showroom models. They also have the engine placed in front of the driver, as opposed to dragsters, which place it behind the driver.[1]
Funny car bodies typically reflect the models of newly available cars in the time period that the funny car was built. For example, in the 1970s, then current models such as the Chevrolet Vega or Plymouth Barracuda were often represented as funny cars, and the bodies represented the Big Three of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler.[2] Currently, four manufacturers are represented in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Funny Car - Chevrolet with the Camaro,[3] Dodge with the Charger,[4] Ford with the Mustang,[5] and Toyota with the Supra.
The first funny cars were Super Stock 1964 Dodge 330 Max Wedges, named the "Dodge Chargers", prepared, at the behest of Don Beebe, by Dragmaster's Jim Nelson and Dode Martin.[13] Raced in the Supercharged Experimental Stock (S/XS) class, their original 426 Max Wedges were replaced by stroked 480 cu in (8 l) Top Gas engines (virtual clones of the Top Gas Dodge Dart engines also built by Dragmaster).[17] (Thus, they were technically "funny gassers", not fuel cars, unlike the later examples.[10]) Despite their fuel limitations, however, they were turning in E.T.s in the high 10s, with speeds around 130 mph (210 km/h), when Super Stock and FX cars were only running 11s at about 120 mph (190 km/h), clearly a winning edge.[10] They would also be the first factory cars fitted with parachutes, and the first to see the drivers wear firesuits.[10]
The first major altered-wheelbase car was Dick Landy's class-legal SS/A 1964 Dodge Coronet,[dubious - discuss] which had front and rear axles moved radically forward, a high gasser-style front end and axle, and a 426 hemi. It moved the rear wheels forward 15 in (380 mm), the front 10 in (250 mm), and 80 lb (36 kg) worth of fiberglass parts (including hood, instrument panel, doors, front fenders, front deck lid, front bumpers) replaced steel.[12] First appearing at the AHRA Winternationals at Phoenix, Arizona, 29-31 January 1964, the combination improved E.T.s from low 11s with speeds in the 120 mph (190 km/h) range to 10.60s at almost 130 mph (210 km/h).[18] Only twelve were built.[19]
The three Chargers, wearing a color scheme of red body sides and white roof, hood, and trunk, with two blue longitudinal stripes,[15] were driven by Jimmy Nix, who previously ran a Top Gas dragster; Jim Johnson, who ran a Dodge Polara stocker, and who had won the B/SA title in 1963; Jim Nelson; and Dode Martin. (Nix tried to persuade Chrisman to get Mercury Racing Director Fran Hernandez to allow him to run his Comet's 427 on nitro, as a way to gain leverage on NHRA, so Nix could use nitro himself)
For their part, the Dodge factory spent only US$250,000 on the inaugural season, insufficient for a single car, let alone three.
This was the first fuel Funny Car to break into the 6's. Leroy Goldstein ran a 6.98, to be first in the 6's. Great moment in drag racing history.
Very cool moment in drag racing history & now we have
drag week street cars (Tom Bailey) running in the 5's @ 250+ ✌😎
Yes sir you are absolutely right, it was the 1st funny to Break 6's in the 1/4 ,
Now the funny car's back in the day.... Looked like cars on the street. And everybody jacked up the rear of the car mag wheels....WOW the good ole days. Great job Chris.👍👍👍👍👍
Looks great - lots of decals in this one.
Thank you! Cheers!
i have been waiting to see what is inside the box / how this builds up. Thanks for posting this video!
Great build Chris. Nice save on the rocker panel decal. That one almost got away. To those that dismiss MPC kits you're missing out on some great kits. MPC put out models that other companies didn't.
Thanks, the MPCs tend to work out well for me but I love box stock as-is builds so I'm not needing the absolute in scale perfection.
I have that in a 1/32nd scale slot car. Great build I love it.
Beautiful kit! Love the burpose-built body. Other kits from this Era have stock bodies with actual door handles on them.
Preprinted tires -- what a luxury. And that transmission tunnel behind the engine is probably a 2-speed Lenco transmission.
Nice build, Chris.
Another sweet kit you have brought to all of us, well done on the build I myself just picked up the Mr Norm’s Charger 👍🇦🇺
Thanks for posting your video and review and build of the MPC Dodge Challenger Ramchargers Funny Car Chris! I ordered 2 of these kits yesterday and I can't wait for them to come in the mail to me as it's been years since I've built a funny car model kit!
Glad I could help!
Looks Like a PERFECT BOX STOCK Build To Me Chris, Thanks For Sharing n Have a Safe n Blessed 4th🤗🤗 Gary.
Nicely done Chris. Glad round 2 mpc re-issued this kit. I missed buying the kit back in the day(30+ years ) now I can buy it when the hobby shop gets it in.
Nice job on this one Chris! Looks like it’s ready to go kick butt! Thanks for the time you put into these videos and showing the process to achieve the great results. Have happy and safe 4th! 🧨
Excellent craftsmanship and finish Chris!! Spot on presentation 👏!
Thank you kindly!
Another amazing video and model build. Cheers mate 👍
That's a GREAT kit!!! 👍👍
Very cool build up as usual Chris
Gotta love those funny's ✌😎
Thank you for the video & Happy 4th of July 🙂👍
Nicely built detailing is amazing I love funny cars
Very neat! I noticed there's more coats of paint on that old Tamiya model stand than some old Army barracks!
Looks like a fun build
I love the work you do. Wish I still had the nerves to build like I did as a kid. Being a funny car fan from the sixties and seventies there is one thing you seem to miss. You paint the aluminum work. The piece that fit under the body is aluminum. No funny car I ever saw painter the aluminum work.
I followed the color suggestions in the instructions. Thanks!
Great job on the window trim - a sure and steady hand
Just got this model today. Looking forward to the build.
Great vid thank you. Doing one now. But was in the pledge bottle. Thanks
It seems you glued the back wheel two halves together before putting the tire on. Why do you do this? I'm just wondering....
He will tell you, "just personal preference". He does this on all of his kits - if the tires themselves are flexible enough to stretch over the rims.
It also gives the glue joint time to cure before the tires get mounted.
Since I'm using super glue, if I glue it as I'm putting the tires on there is a good chance the glue will fog the tires.
Hollow tires are easy to stretch over so I glue the wheels together before I mount the tires most cases.
Solid tires I will press in the wheels from each side. If they fit loose I use rubber cement to hold them.
I sure wish my paint jobs came out like yours. I followed your directions, used the same paint, first one came out all orange peel. Stripped that, tried again, plastic melted in parts. Plus more orange peel. Tried polishing, wet sanding with 2500 grit paper. no luck. AMT International 4070A kits.
amazing Chris those decals scare me
Another fun video..Thank you for sharing!
Hi
Another great build Chris.
Nice job a very easy kit to build thanks as always!
Fantastic mate👍
You do mean liberally on the Floor polish application.!! Wow.! How many coats max have you ever needed?
Also I believe this was also the "Soapy Sales" challenger.. I built..
Like Tamiya airbrush thinner, Pledge/Future lays down as it dries rather than just acting as a clear coat.
Two coats has sufficed for 99% of the kits I do.
Nice build. What's in the pipette, CA kicker? Thanks.
Great Build!
Love to see your vídeos. I don't build dragsters, but I like to see your vídeos.
Pity --they're so easy to detail with the minimal open chassis and every viewer can see everything you've added.
You can almost smell the nitro . . .
Glad you like them!
Well done!
Quick question. Do you wash your models before you paint them?
Nicely done
Beauty build. BTW - about the armature you use to wear your tires - is there a 1/24 scale armature also? Where can I find them? (please be laughing about now). But no kidding, the kit came out looking very nice. Thanks for doing this!
I don't remember Chris commenting, but I think he uses a long ratchet wrench socket -- pick the one that fits your tires.
@@randytaylor1258 another of my jokes - not funny enough...
LOL, well we use metric for 1/24 and SAE for 1/25 of course! Thanks again bud!
What's the name of that pink tape you use for masking. I gotta get this one.
Washi tape, it's a craft tape.
Thanks. You mentioned it in a past video but forgot the name.
What kind of masking tape do you use?
New sub! Liked
ever put the floor wax in a spay bottle and apply
