50s & 60s drag cars in Hot Rod Deluxe

[BigGary]

I picked up the latest issue of Hot Rod Deluxe yesterday. There is a whole section of 50's and 60'd drag cars, especially gassers and such, including, "Big Al" the Allison powered, severely chopped, '34 Ford sedan. I saw it run once along time ago. Its too bad there are no '34 Ford sedan kits. Probably in resin, but no kits.

Check it out! HR Deluxe & Street Rodder are always a model building source of inspiration.

AMT did a '34 sedan, and R&R did the Big Al body in resin. The '34 kit can still be found on eBay.

There are some great shots of the Big Al clobe posted on the HAMB board. I would post the link, but that may be a no no. Just do a search.

It's always been one of my favorite rods. I even called Jim Lytle in Maui once. He was pretty nice about it.

From the looks of the pics, it would pretty easy to recreate.

Idea - A Big Al build off. Only critera - No less than 10 cylinders and must have a severe chop.
