AMT Don Garlits' Wynn's Jammer

[THarrison351]

Finished, frustration over! This was a warped, defective, pile of mess. I started it over a decade ago, maybe fifteen or so years. I don't remember. I do remember everything on the sprues were warped. Clearly pulled from the mold before cool. Or maybe it sat in someone's attic in the heat because I got it off of eBay old stock. Anyway, it's finished. I added aftermarket wire wheels because the molded ones were terrible. Also, a wired Mag. The rest was paint. And, the decals I'm guessing due to age, weren't great either. The other dragster is the 1320 diecast Art Malone U.S.1 he campaigned from Garlits' garage after Garlits was badly burned from an engine failure. Essentially the same car in 1/24 scale. Thanks for looking!

Great Build of Two Historic NHRA FED's

Awesome job!

The pictures of all the parts made me think of the Hot Rod magazine article on the car.

Nice that you worked through your frustrations to complete a very nice build.  The after market wire front wheels are a nice addition and only add to the model.  In my opinion the kit wires in all the dragster kits are the weak link on so many otherwise nice FED builds.  Very nice model !

Thanks! I may have misled you. The Wynn's Charger was my only build, the U.S.1 is a diecast from 1320.

A faithful build of one of the GOATs. Nice job. Also it was cool how you posted the parts cut off of the sprues.
