    As you may know, I was fortunate enough to win the last Tech Week that Ryan put together with GMP....thanks to all of you who voted for my entry!

    The prize was one of GMP's awesome 1:6 scale Real Art Replicas of the Greer Black dragster. This thing is over 28" long and the detail is incredible. You could say it's bad ***.

    Well, I 've been eagerly waiting it's arrival. This was on the door step today...

  6. That thing is awesome!! I hope you torqued the heads down the correct amount! :D

    Love the detail on it. A set of plug leads would set it off real nice.

    Congrats!

    The GMP models are incredible, I have the smaller version of that car and I love it. Someday when I get rich that will be on my stuff to buy list. Congratulations.

    I bought a brand new 1/6 scale 392 motor from that kit on ebay... For 50 bucks... The guy selling those at the time had about 20 of them in stock...
    The engine came with a heavy stand and a display case, cotton gloves.. Beautiful detail!!! ;)
