Monogram's "Long John" dragster

O.K., I shot two more old car kits back with my other batch of photos that were not so focused, but bare with me. This is the old "Long John" dragster kit. Definitely on the very basic side but back when it was first released, it was what was happening. Apparently, the model must be replicating a Potvin, front mount blower system. I'm not sure anything else could fit under the bodywork like that. "Weedburners" are tell-tale era components. The kit, like many other early Monogram offerings, comes with the Hero driver. While I've built more modern kits, there's something really cool about building these early kits, or maybe I'm just reminiscing about when I was a kid. I was becoming a hot-rodder before I even had my own bicycle.
