ScanmanDan Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I worked a bit more on this one today and I'm calling it done. I may in the future go back and add the steering linkage but it's just a bridge too far right now. ( Come to think of it I'd like to try lacing some wire wheels too) At some point you have to just say, " The next one will be better but this one is done." Final pics; I pretty pleased, it came out much better than I had any right to assume. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Enough to start the Candies & Hughes Funny car. Great to try something new and different. Thanks for looking in. I hope you like her. Dan 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Very cool, and not something you see built very often - nice work! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Very nicely done! The paint and markings are excellent, and I suspect they were far more difficult than they look at first glance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearsightedjohn Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Overall beautiful job! I really like the work you did on the plug wires, fuel lines and throttle linkage. Nice to see a classic US drag racing subject on this board, my current build obsession these days. Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Wow! I love that! I strongly suspect you stripped all engine chrome (unless the parts were just plain plastic in the first place). This straight away gives a truly realistic look - especially with your subtle wash/shadow effects on the details. Gets top marks from me - can't wait to see the Candy & Hughes funny car!

Redstaff Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I really like this, didn't realise there were dragster kits out there as you never see anyone post builds until now Brings back memories of Santa Pod a fair few years ago Must have a mooch around and get something to add to the stash Looking forward to your next one Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
