I mocked it up because I just had to see what it looked like with the cage and interior painted and with the laundry out back, and I have to say it looks pretty dang sweet.

The parachute line is made from the outer chord of a broken set of apple headphones cut to size with bare metal foil covering it and some small wire inside to keep its shape Thanks Jonathan!!

well im back with an uodate and not really a good one, I was test fitting the interior tub and the body twisted just a bit and cracked the bodywork on the front clip, I put a little putty on it and primed it but im out of fine sanding sticks so ill get on fixing that when I get a ride to my LHS tomorrow. on a lighter note I got the parachute almost finishes it just needs a couple decals and the ill make the cable running out to it I also found a seat that will work and redid the ignition wiring with a new distributor and ignition wires, I found the correct routing from the cap to each plug so the while ignition is as realistic as it gets. body damage new ignition setup seat Parachute Comments and suggestions Appreciated!

looking good!!

Well im 14 (I fall into the young modeler category) and I don't have the at first you don't succeed screw it I have the after 5 tries screw it and try a different approach. I guess im weird being a 14 year old who can not stand video games, id rather be studying things like the suspension on my high school drag car ('71 vega panel express) and figuring out how it all works and how the diagonal link or the ladder bars work on my dads 72 vega and learning how nitrous works and produces the power, I guess im the odd one out who would rather find out how stuff works than play some dumb video game

If you ask anybody at a dragstrip what a dragster is they'll tell you a dragster is a FED,T/A,T/F,ETC but as you pointed out if you're going off a dictionary its anything modified for drag racing.

Thank you Bobby it means a lot!! it really is a shame that there is no model clubs or competitions in my area.

beautiful work! I would like to let you know though that this is a dragster and your model is a great representation of a Drag Car.

Wow that looks so awesome!!

Thanks Jonathan!!! And the 6 years I got to race it was loads of fun and the 5 wally's I have sitting on my shelf made it even better!!

Thanks!!! Thank you Richard!!

Beautiful work SFD!

We ended up trading the dragster for quads because I was too tall to fit into it anymore but heres what ill be racing when I get my license.

Thank you Earl!! Thank you for the feedback Bill!!!

Thank you Larry! I would love to take some of my models to a competition but here in southern Oregon there isn't even a club to be found let alone a show.

Larson would spank the murder nova hands down

Thank you!! Thank you George! this one is from about 6 or 7 months ago and my skills have improved greatly since then, especially things like research on brake booster color, removing mold lines from the radiator, correct firing order, and much more.

Thanks Doc I knew someone would notice eventually ill check it out when you post it!!

I didn't know AMT made a trailer but after looking at the display case trailer from AMT it looks like they stuck the clear case on top of this trailer.
