Nostalgic Front Engine Dragster...

[W-409]

Another new project. The basis will be the Two Much kit from AMT. Great kit, it has two Hemi engines with blower. The frame is molded to one piece, which is good. Not so much work on the assembly, and it hasn't much mold seams at all. The kit is great, and it will be fun to build. I'm going to leave those Body Panels off, so it will look much better. Today I removed some mold flash and something like that. Some gloss black to it, needs still some more, but it's getting there. And must start the engines too.

Pictures about what's in the box, are here:http://s1038.photobucket.com/albums/a463/VintageDragRace/Twin%20Engine%20Dragster/

Niko,

Another kit from the past. Yup, toss those ugly body panels and get a resin body from the aftermarket. It'll look a LOT better without it!!!

Very nice!!!

I'll be watching this for ideas on my front engine dragster

Tim, I think too that it looks bad with that body panel from the kit, and actually I like Front Engine Dragsters without any panels, and that's why there is coming no any panels. Android, Can't wait to see your FED, these are always great to watch, and I can't see too much of these.

Just a little progress with it. Entire frame is now black, there are no white spots anymore. Also painted that little part silver.... What part is it? (Picture 2). Glued rear slicks together, and now all they need is some sanding to look realistic. Must start those engines too.

Nice!!!

The silver thing looks like the master cylinder.

Thanks! I was thinking about Brake Master Cylinder too, but I wasn't sure about it. Now I know, where to install brake lines.

So far so good, I'm waiting to see how the engines turn out and also waiting to see how it looks without the panels. It will be interesting to watch this from across the Atlantic! Good luck with the rest of the build. Have you looked at any aftermarket slicks for that beast? Competition Resins has some really nice ones and they aren't very expensive either.

Thanks for the comment! I think, that it's great to watch your projects too across the Atlantic. I haven't looked about Aftermarket slicks, but they would be maybe a good idea. But maybe I sand those, and make them look as good as I can, and then think about, if I need new ones, or can I live with those.
