that's to cool!! nice job on this one. these always looked to me like something the average guy could have built and raced, back in the day.

i really like this one and the long john model. i have been wanting to get these for quite awhile. seems like i am always short of money. :rolleyes:

thanks. yeah definitely an average joe type of dragster, similar to the belly tank salt racers.

the big john kit is by far way more expensive than this one, think i paid 14 for this at my local shop.

Nice job.I remember building the original way back when.The car is a composite of mid to late fifties "Slingshot dragsters" but it draws quite a bit from Don Garlits 50's Swap Rat.Monogram did the same thing with the Long John dragster which also draws from an actual car.I've picked up a poorly built original kit which i am rebuilding with modifications to resemble Garlits actual car.
