OK. I never build dragsters. Other than the AMT Double Dragster kit when I was a kid, I've never built a single, solitary dragster. So, then my neighborhood plastic (and resin) pusher shows up with this killer Jimmy Flintstone resin TF streamline dragster based (loosely but certainly) on a bullet-nose Studebaker. My fate was sealed. I just hadda build this one. I had some fun. I took some liberties. Made my own decals (learned some lessons the hard way). There's some tongue-in-cheek and outright hilarity involved. I finally got 'er done ... months ago. She surprised me ... she won a couple of local club contests! But pix are few and far between ... because she's just so long, you can't get her all in one shot! Anyway, a couple of different photographers have attempted and here are a few shots from them. Unfortunately, I don't have a pic of the front end ~ with its signature bullet-nose Studebaker ... uh, ... bullet nose grille and the mooneyez-like headlamp fillers. I claim the first-timer defense for any capital-offense faux pas. One of these days, when I finish building the annex to my photo booth, I'll shoot some more and some detail shots, too. Til then, these teases will have to do. PS: See, I do too build stuff!
