Don Garlits`s "Wynns-liner"

[John Teresi]

Hello.......this is another older build.........I bought the body from Ebay.......it was a 20 lb. solid resin block body.......I was going to make a curb side......but decided to hollow out the body with a drummel .......which took about a day and a 1/2 to do......I changed the shape of the body to resemble the real car........ I scratch built the chassis,canopy,wheelie bar,and tins......... engine donor Don Garlits AMT Wynns Jammer kit........ wired and plumbed using reference pictures.......H.O.K. black.......WhoopieKat decals......thank`s

Another superb build, John. Your paint work is by far some of the best.

Hey John,

Very, very nice model, anything "Big Daddy" is good to see, you did such a nice job on this one, must have taken a lot of patience to get it just right. I am a big fan of "Big Daddy", but do not remember ever seeing this car before, would you have any history on this one that you could pass along for us? I have been to his museum twice as well, and just can't remember this one. But, it could just be me.... Anything you care to share would be greatly appreciated, and thanks for posting!

That's a gorgeous little dragster ... and of course, a fantastic build! Can't believe it was hollowed out ... it must still have some heft to it.
