Here are a couple of dual-engined dragsters that were built in the 1960s. One was a "stock" kit and the other was custom made.

WOW!!! Way cool! So what are your plans for them? Leave as is, restore 'em, or do a clone using your skills you have today. None of my stuff survived intact from then. I only have 2 pieces that made it, a '32 Vicky and a '57 Chevy.

Tim,
As it stands now, I have about thirty car models that survived. And I'm still fond of them all, so for now, will leave them as is. (I have posted some pics of others elsewhere on the site)

Here's one I just finished a couple months ago. It's mostly box stock AMT Double Dragster, with scratchbuilt headers and wheels/tires from the old Edmunds modified kit. Instead of getting all wrapped up in superdetailing, I only added plug wires to it, along with belts and a couple other items.

Oh, OK. I just wondered was all. The 2 cars I mentioned were "rekitted" when I got them. Pieces are missing from both. I thought that, someday, I might restore them to original condition and then do another build of them using the skills and technology we have today. Then I'd display them together, sort of a 'then and now' type. OR maybe not.
