Brianl Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 My first post in the Drag Racing catagory ! Started with the Hippie Hemi... threw the body into the parts box (good bits for custom pannels etc) & scratch built a little period flat wrap shell Nice, well detailed Hemi, looked good with the yellow block & simple black frame so I kept the decorations to a minimum. I know the Class is wrong but I liked the script! It turned out to be a sweet build & looks good on the shelf! Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianl Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Thanks for the comments gentlemen The sketch on the side of the box showed a nice chassis etc & thats why I bought it. I won't comment on the body.... And yes, it was based on the Garlitts kit which I don't think I have ever seen! Would be nice. One thing to think about. I don't know what sort of power they were getting back then but it was a hemi, it was blown & Garlitts was good so it would be big, then look at the chassis, short, light, single role bar & the kit has nice detailed drum brakes !! They were heroes! Thanks again Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I was going to ask about the A/A? Wouldn't that ride be an A/D? I love the old rail dragsters. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
