W-409 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well that looks very good so far. Those rear tires are looking great, and whole detailing in that "interior" is spectacular. Front axle looks very good too, and so does that engine. I hope, I could build as nicely as that some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyno Davo Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Finally got back to the workbench a little this last week and made some progress. The body panels have been hand shaped from printers aluminium and I'll be attaching them with mini slotted screws. Also got some color on the frame and I've started populating it with the running gear. Using R&M Motion bolts and lots of scratch built stuff. Also used RB Motion valve stems for the rims.

Dyno Davo Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi everyone, got the wire wheels built, painted and mounted. Touched up a few bits on the front end as well. Also trial fitted the tin work. Starting on the motor assembly. Scratch built the manifold and idler pulley tensioner bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Great model. Would you provide some details on how you did the wire wheels for the front? bobthehobbyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Great job with the Dragster! Especially those front wheels are amazing, but detailing is super all over. I can't wait to see more of this, since I really like Front Engine Dragsters. Very Cool Build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
