1/16th scale California Charger Dragster
Mr.1/16th replied to Mr.1/16th's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
I agree! I want to build the Pinto funny car and rear engine dragster to go with it. -
I'll be on the lookout for it!

Same here and I’m looking forward to getting out to a few shows out East!

Started out on opening up this step side and scratch built the front cross member and was looking for your page to see what you left off on. This one I sent to a club brother to finish so he was asking about it so I sent it to him. Have a few more I need to get back on and one of them is on my bench now. Let’s get back to these bro! 😎

Well I always wanted to do a T Bucket and I finally got five of them mostly glue bombs and one semi complete kit a few years back. Been working on making one with all my extra parts. So this is what I built from all the different one s I got for parts. I have plans for a few more T Buckets coming up soon 😎 If anyone know of a good 3D printed small bock with a blower either ford or Chevy let me know 👍 IMG_4062.mov IMG_2080.mov IMG_2081.mov

Also I recommend going into the past street Rod hot rod and street machine magazines for inspiration

The wheels are from 1:18th diecast donors and 3D printed hine joints and scratch built linkage. I have a lot of extra everything to built these and I have a few more at the moment! The best kits to have are the Revell 34 phantom and coupe kits!

This is my eBay score that I took and rebuilt to make this 55 Street Rod build that I really love back from the 90’s. Had to make a few changes and upgrade the look to what I wanted and achieved. Thanks to Texas3d and scratch building I finished and imaging a classic driver that I would own myself. It has a 409 with auto trans detailed and plumbed as accurate as I could for the realism look. Let me know what you all think! IMG_7145.mov

Hello fellow builds! Lately I have been buying 1/16th scale kits from eBay and redoing them into something more modern and custom! I got this 16th scale 55 nomad that was box stock with a two tone vintage color and had a blast trying to figure out what direction to go with it and trying all kinds of wheels and motor from 3D printed LS motors and going back to more traditional methods and came up with a clean low Rod Wagon. I cut the rear tubs for a wider wheel and lowered it with scratch built after market parts and some 3D printed parts and fittings to give it a realism look. This is my 1/16th scale 1955 Low Rod from three kits of parts and bench time. IMG_3262.mov

Yes the same kit! A friend made the fleet side bed panels and I made the mold for the tailgate so just waiting on my friend to re cast them all. This truck is still on my bench to get finished!

Well guys I have been busy adding to my collection and sell a few to! Most of these I got from eBay and rebuilt them with the intention to keep myself busy building. Had to sell some but I’m very happy with what I have created from these builds. 🙏😎

thank you! for the scoop i used a flat red from testor's and the wires i used from another dragster kit I had. This kit I had to start all over with new decals as the ones it came with ripped on me while laying them down! t was hell to make them lay flat and hug shapes even with decal set. The Rear rims i got from my club brother Paul Mendoza and I sprayed them with the Testors chrome paint and had gto wait over a week for them to dry. Even the side wing i painted with the chrome paint and waited for them to dry to.
