cobraman Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Been working a little on this drag car . I believe the resin Ford body is a Flintstone item . Chassis and engine is the AMT Fiat double dragster item . Had to modify the chassis a little . Body was supposed to be a drop on but we all know how that goes . Making a floor and firewall from sheet plastic .
alan barton Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 I wonder if that has been cast off the undersized AMT 34 Ford coupe? I have one at home and will have to check on my return. It's really got me thinking about doing something similar with the Revell miniature coupe body - Ive got a spare plus the Double Dragster frame in my stash! Cheers Alan

Alan Biggest problem with that body is the WAY too short hood. So here's what I'm doing with one, which does away with the hood:

I can't remember what their race series was called They had motorbike engines and one seat, I thought they'd make great one-man road cars.
