fordf-100 Posted November 9 Posted November 9 This is a build that started from a flea market purchase over the summer, a guy had 2 chrome Allison v12’s and the chrome Corsair motor for $5! Couldn’t pass it up as I’ve never built the Allison. I always had a couple floating around but never seemed interested in building one. So I started digging thru some stuff to see what I had that might look ok and I came up with the AMT double dragster kit, so I took out some parts threw in some parts box stuff and came up with this! I’m sure it’s not a very realistic dragster as I don’t know if it would hold together! I sure wouldn’t drive it! Let me know what you guys think! All comments welcome! 8
M W Elky Posted November 9 Posted November 9 Sure looks great I would love to hear one . It might need a parachute to get it stopped 1
TonyK Posted November 9 Posted November 9 I like what you've done. Whether it would work or not it's a cool looking dragster. 1
M W Elky Posted November 9 Posted November 9 Just think how cool this Allison would look sitting in the Ivo showboat chassis with dual slicks front & back 1
stavanzer Posted November 9 Posted November 9 Wow, what a Machine. It looks totally period! Good Show. 1
Mike 1017 Posted November 9 Posted November 9 This is one FANTASTIC Build. Lots of Allison powered pics on Google. 2

I still have (weathered and tattered) shirt identical to this one, an artifact from my New Wave daze. Probably an embarassing pic of it online somewhere.
