Dyno Davo Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Hi everyone, this has been posted in the drag section during the build and finally its all finished. This is all scratch built or aftermarket resin and other parts. It's a 1:16 scale 140" Kellison chassis with a 392 Hemi running a early Hilborn 4 hole injector scoop. Paint is Pontiac Engine Blue base, aqua marine flake and blue candy. The front wheel spokes were made from nickel plated brass wire, all the chrome is Alclad. Hope you like it.

Dave Van Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Love it!! Rails lost my interest when they went rear engine. FE rail is cool.....VERY nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Awesome model! You did an excellent job, looks like the real thing. But will it ever be able to out-run a Roadrunner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Turned out excellent! These Front Engine Dragsters are really nice and I like them more than Rear Engine Dragsters, too. Your paint work is amazing and really like that Coyote decal you did. Excellent detailing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my80malibu Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 That is one of the nicest FE dragsters I have seen. The appearance is so realistic, you can smell the Nitro and feel the ground is shaking in the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyno Davo Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thanks guys, really appreciate all the comments. Personally I think the mid sixties is the best era of front engine dragsters, so many cool diggers ran the strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
