Barry Setzer 1/16 "Monocoque" Dragster: On the Workbench 12/6/15

[AZ Boy]

I already loved your 1/24th scale version of this, so I'm sure this one will be off-the-charts in 1/16th, John. I always thought Barry's dragster was one of the prettiest top fuelers ever built. Looking forward to this one!
