TooOld Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 This is the second "Never Was" model in my tribute series to the 1/8th scale Monogram models of the 60's . Creating the faux box art was part of the fun ! The Little Drag was created using parts from a Little T and a Boomer Bucket . The tires are Monogram , the rear wheels are from a Li'l Coffin and the front wheels were made by adding trim rings on top of '49 Merc wheels to make the deep steelies .The Chevrolet Script valve covers , headers , blower , scoop , Moon tank , tach and gas pedal came from various kits . The hand brake , shifter , and steering wheel were all scratch built . The roll bar and push bars were formed from polished aluminum rod and I made my own decals using the Big Drag decals as a guide . The finished chassis and everything awaiting final assembly . A few more . Up next the "Little Tub" .
bobthehobbyguy Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Nice work. Matchs the big version perfectly. Suprised that Monogram didn't do this small versions.

Mr. Metallic Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Very well done. I've been wanting to do this myself. It's just such a cool concept. Your version is excellent.
