The Dominator Jiggler Dragster is done. Full write up and photos in the “Under Glass, Drag” section. Enjoy.

The “Dominator” Jiggler Dragster is done. Great dragster from the early days of racing. This is the recent release from Atlantis, The Kent Fuller Dragster as part of the Keller Kustoms series. The main part of this is the AMAZING VCG Resins Jiggler Flathead motor! It is a replica of the rare version of the Ford Flathead motor. It has a Competition Resins S.C.O.T supercharger with Iceman carbs, pully system and scoops. A VCG Resins Moon tank and tachometer were added. Ron Coon Resins accelerator and Knock offs for the wheels. Any chrome is Revell or Alclad and the colors are Testor decanted red enamel, and the frame is Tamiya Dark Iron. I had an original set of instructions from back in the 70s with the correct way to install the front end. A great help to get the stance correct. Any other parts were parts box sourced. Enjoy.

“The Dominator” Jiggler Dragster is in the home stretch! Decals are done and 2k clear is next. Interior is ready to install.

Motor is complete, and wired. Floor is in (was not part of the kit, so scratch built). The body panels (from a 60+ year old kit) needed a lot of massaging. Body work is on the agenda for tonight. Progress is being made.

Have not started the interior yet, but it will have the floor and full interior.

Some more progress tonight. Tomorrow night fuel lines

Love that kit, did mine as a copy of a local drag car from the 60's

The VCG Resins Jiggler is super cool for any exposed engine hot rod! I just had to put it in my 32 build.

They work so well for tubbing a rear. Just scuff so paint sticks better.

Making progress on the Atlantis Kent Fuller Dragster with a VCG Resins Jiggler Flathead. Should be a cool one when done.

They were modified Flatheads that were originally used in midget racing, but eventually ended up in some hot rods. There were some crazy variations on the Flatheads over the years but this had to be the wildest one.

Yes, I stripped most of the chrome in Purple power, then I can sand the seams off, and then the Revell Chrome. that stuff is amazing for sure.
