After looking at Jerry's excellent Boss 429 Front Engine Dragster, wanted to post my own similar project....

[tim boyd]

This one was completed around 1987 or so when I did a whole series of front and mid engine dragster models.

It was based on the MPC Garlits Front Engine Dragster with a Boss 429 engine (probably from the Monogram Vandal/Vambulance kits) and a paint layout devised several colors of 1/1 scale automotive pinstriping tape....

After checking this one out, be sure to take a look at Jerry's Boss 429 FED build also posted in this folder for a really well done take on this build theme....thanks...TIM

Really outstanding Tim. Ive built a couple of Vandal's over the years and Id say that is the motor.

The paint scheme is creative to boot. That built up has been around for quite some time.

Geez, built 37 years ago, and turns heads today.  Outstanding.  Trying to get  Super Stock racers Ed Terry and Hubert Platt into Top Fuel, huh?  Your left slick has a spot on the inside and it looks like the right slick is rubbing the frame lol.  So, if you could build this back then, what does your current build look like?  Just kidding, of course.  Thanks for posting these incredible models and writing awesome books.
