Great looking build, that frame looks amazing. Engine seems to be Huge, but that's not bad thing. Can't wait to see more of it, Front Engine Dragsters are always very nice.

Wow, that's looking fantastic. Great work on the chassis and all its components. The engine is going to look like a real monster too. Love it!

Looking good. Am looking forward to more updates. How do you like the BernzoMatic soldering iron? is it electric?

Thanks.

The soldering iron works fine but it takes to much time to heat and it's not electric. I used the torch. It was faster. If you want buy the soldering iron that you control the temp. After i finished the frame l bougth one on internet.

They are not to expencive and are more reliable than the torch.
