Wasn't sure if I should have posted this in the model car section or here because I can't imagine the real thing ever being drag raced. Built mostly box stock except for tripling the thickness of the headstone on the front, making "interior panels" out of .010" styrene and painting them purple and making candles for the headlights. Unfortunately excess glue spoiled the looks of them. Oh well, it was a fun build.

There was an episode where grandpa had it at the drag strip. It looks great and I really like the candle headlights nice job

Not to sound to much like a dork, but it was Season 1, Episode 36 titled Hor Rod Herman where this car ran at Lions Drag Strip.  I love it and am glad you posted it here.

I stand corrected! I watched the old episode on you tube where it was raced against the Munsters Koach. Thanks for letting me know about that and thanks everyone for the nice comments!

Very nice build.

Good thing Grandpa didn't pop the chute, it would have gotten tangles in the rear lights!!!! LOL

Agree, very nice build.  

On the one I built, I left off the headlights and taillights and added a roll bar (it's a dragster, man), But I did add the taillights bar to my Munster coach, felt they looked better there.
