Today’s progress the Nanook is on it’s wheels with decals started, and the pure heaven decals are started along with some chassis work

Great dragster awesome color , nice choice of decals

It looks like it covered the shaker hole pretty good

The weekend update. The OTIE’S T and THE RED BARON Fiat are nearing completion

I built mine using this same kit in the early 90’s , and I can remember spending days sanding the vinyl texture off that roof . Then the only available decals were from Fred cady which were drawn to fit the 1/24 scale monogram kit, and it two sets as the black paint job showed through yellow decals. All considered the amt / ertl kit has the most accurate body. The johan Sox & Martin pro stock cuda is a great donor kit for this project. As the chassis , interior tub fit like a glove plus there’s a pro stock dual plug hemi .

You’ve got a great looking old school gasser there. I think it’s one of the better amt tooling’s from the mid 70’s

Today’s progress the OTIE’S T is on its wheels

Thanks it’s not quite done yet I still have to make the scatter shield and find some dry transfer decals for the door numbers

Update the 10,000 rpm B altered is on wheels and almost done

Wow Harold that’s so cool it’s the ultimate compliment. Thanks for checking it out.

Hi jeff those are all great builds . There’s a very satisfying feeling in repurposing the amt double dragster kit. I’ve always wanted to build the Ivo twin, and now I’ll know how. Thanks for posting

The 2 tone green looks fabulous. Nice job ?

Work bench update wild Willy is almost done and I’m pretty far along on the 10,000 rpm T plus a couple more fiat’s

Here are some pictures of the bell housing on the small block Chevy parts tree and the scattershield and the two piece in and out box from the hemi parts tree . The Double dragster is a must have kit you’ll want to get a few just for parts

Fiat altered what’s not to love. Looks great

Man that paint color. Just beautiful

Looks great I’ll probably have to wait till next year to get some

Rodger that’s a great photo good times for sure. What drag strip was it taken at?

We are living in the best time ever to build drag cars of all types . With all the reissues from round two and Atlantis . Along with the new awb mopars , and comet cyclones form möbius . Plus some aftermarket decals. I hope some young modelers read this and draw some inspiration . These small and relatively easy to build they lend themselves well to all levels of detail. The Atlantis fiat alone is a wealth of spare parts with two complete front axle assembly’s. The engines in this kit can easily be swapped out with the engines from amt’s double dragster kit. Which is a legendary kit full of spare parts. Then round two gives us the best altered kit of all the bantam blast . Oh and If you’re reading this round two the winged express would be a welcome addition.

I know that I’m really getting low on my parts pack slicks supply. It would be great to see all of them reissued . Some drag front tires would be great too.

Wow you did some amazing detail work . It’s so cool that you built a modern day sling shot I really like it

I brought this one in 1988 as a Hot Rod magazine double kit. Then it sat in the box until about 10 years ago when the last release came out, and I could use the fresh set of decals. It’s a box stock build, and it sure looks great on the shelf next to the snake’s army monza . Until next time thanks for looking, Mike

These early short wheel base rail jobs are really fun to build. I really like your use of the poncho 4 banger power. You did a fantastic job please build some more

Yeah I think so I also keep the water hot and hold the decals with a tweezers

Looks great the awb mopars are my all time favorites. I really hope mine comes out this good thanks for the decal tip . Did you put any dish soap in the decal water ?
