Prostreet Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Nice work on the Body dave, sucks about the gold leaf. This makes me want to build a 1/16th rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltwincustoms Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Dave, I think you made the right decision to redo the tin work, because it looks 100x's better now... Great Job! Very cool on the ducts, I saw some of those or some like them on TDR, was wondering how they worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ahh....I had wondered what, or where the NACA ducts were headed.....Had seen them on Shapeways site. Looks EXCELLENT Dave. Great work man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well, this looks cool! I like seeing Top Methanol (or Alcohol) Dragster being built too, because if I can see modern Dragsters, they are almost always Top Fuel. Nice job with those body panels too, and detailing is incredible. Thanks for sharing this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COOLBERG Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 it's been a while since i've worked on this. after i recieved the new nose from TDR i decided i didn't like the body so, i made a new one. it's a little higher body than the first. more like a fuel car and it's properly clearance to the ground. old body. new body. i also had tim at TDR make up some NACA ducts for the body. installed. hope you enjoy!
