Safire6 Posted May 30, 2024 Posted May 30, 2024 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. 10 1
M W Elky Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 There was an episode where grandpa had it at the drag strip. It looks great and I really like the candle headlights nice job
Altered Ego Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 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. 1
Street Rod Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 You did a great job here! Very clean build and the candles and other details finish it up just right.
thatz4u Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 I dig this one, well done....hope the details didn't drive you batty....
MADmodelDOCTOR Posted May 31, 2024 Posted May 31, 2024 I remember watching "The Munsters" episode where it did run down the track! ?
Safire6 Posted June 3, 2024 Author Posted June 3, 2024 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!
TNT Posted June 12, 2024 Posted June 12, 2024 Cool build. I remember watching the race episode way back when
Rattlecan Dan Posted June 13, 2024 Posted June 13, 2024 Did a great job! Nice change of pace build. Thanks for posting. I remember seeing it on TV as well.
spencer1984 Posted December 28, 2024 Posted December 28, 2024 Nicely done! I still have to build the one in my stash, I hope it turns out this clean!
gtx6970 Posted December 29, 2024 Posted December 29, 2024 Looks good I built one of these maybe 8 years ago. As a self imposed 24hr build. One of my favorites to this day
Sledsel Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Very nice build. Good thing Grandpa didn't pop the chute, it would have gotten tangles in the rear lights!!!! LOL
Horrorshow Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Herman drove it in a road race in England in the film Munster go Home.

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.
