Yeah Nah Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I always enjoy doing these 'fluff' kits. They're a fun departure from the more serious stuff. Posted here because to me it's more of a custom fantasy job than an actual competition dragster. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Pretty kewl looking Dragster with that 426 Hemi up front. I'll bet that would be a wild ride looking through that glass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Hi Garry! Verrrrry nice, with great details. The 60's were the era of "experimentation", shall we say? CT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Great looking build. Reminds me of some of the late '60's Show Cars that were always fun to look at. Like the clean finishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THarrison351 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Looks good! That's the Garlits Wynns Jammer chassis right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Tim but very well could be as there's a rollover extension that is not used on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geemoney Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 so clean! is that a gen 1 hemi? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Very cool and different. Looks like it was inspired by the charger III concept in early seventies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Nice. That chassis and engine is originally from the Don Garlits Wynnsjammer kit. One of the best 392 Hemis ever offered in 1/25th scale IMHO. It has a crankshaft (and a clear oil pan) as well as blower rotor blades and separate pulleys and rubber blower belt. The original issue also had a clear body. That kit was also issued as the HemiSphere without a clear body a few years ago... -RRR Edited January 24 by Rocking Rodney Rat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamboat Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Beautiful build. Did you change the rocker covers? They are from a gen 1 hemi, either a Dodge 315 or 331. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding if it's a gen 1 hemi or not my knowledge of such things is very limited! But it looks like the above post by Steamboat has answered for you.

I never bothered with the internal engine details and painted over the clear oil pan as not much could be seen of either when mounted in this model. The blower belt looks pretty cool but assuming the pulleys would be under a bit of strain I made sure they were solidly mounted.

Thanks Bill. Apart from basic wiring everything is as what comes with the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Nice looking build! I've always thought about getting this and some of the other "fluff" kits to build for fun but never have. You're making me think again. Later- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll only ever buy them if they're on special and the price is low. They usually sit in the stash ignored for years then for some reason one day I'll have a spark of interest and build one. I still have Infiniti-T, Stingaree, and that stretch Digger Cuda thingy to do but don't hold your breath waiting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
