Supper neat can’t wait for updates

what kit did you get the chassis from?

It's one from the Revell double dragster kit.

What a cool idea!  Love that cutout in the rear deck for the driver...is this a fantasy build or did someone do this for real at some point?

Ill be watching!

What are your plans for body mounts? I have something very similar in mind also

Good question. Still trying to figure that out.

Thanks guys . I filled the hole in the hood. Swapped the headers . Notched the body to clear the headers . Still have not figured out body mounts .

Thanks for that . I laid down some orange paint today . Also drilled a couple holes to mount a push bar . Next will be decals and clear coat unless I decide to two tone the paint job .

What a great combination of parts Ray!  You've got me excited - I have the same body and frame in my stash and it's a combo I really like.  After all, this is virtually the same as what Garlits did with his Dart roadster funnycar so it is definitely feasible. 

I'm also really enjoying the very business - like finishes you put on the frame components and the clever use of funnycar headers to get the exhaust outside the body. Great model!

 

Cheers

Thanks guys ! Ya a fade could work. Thanks for the pic Scott I think I will make a part like 59 but mount it more forward. ?

That should work perfectly.

I think a white roof would look good because I’m my mind these bodys are to flat and bulky and need something to beak it up a bit 

also How did you cut the hole in the back of the body and keep an even radius to the curve?

it looks great so far can’t wait to see more
