Fiat bodied rail dragster is done.

[cobraman]

Finally finished up this dragster. Frame is from the Digger dragster kit and the body is from the Double Dragster kit. Body was modified so it would fit rearward. Paint is Big Bad Blue. Turned out pretty good I think but far from perfect. Comments both pro and con are always welcome.

Came out very nice indeed. Superb fit and finish and very nice detailing. The body re-do came out super, as well. The color choices are especially effective.

Do you have additional photos showing the car in full length? I know you had thought some about this chassis' very long wheelbase and it's effect on the overall look. The front 3/4 view seems to look OK, especially with the tall blown motor and coupe body. I know when I did a Jr. Fueler last year based on the same kit, I later felt I might have been better off shortening it a bit, at least with the bare chassis look I chose. But my body was very minimal and I didn't have the mass of the big blown Hemi since I was using a small injected mill instead. These end-of-era 200"+ FED cars seem to need a full body, at least to my eyes, so I'm curious to see the effect of the elements you used on the overall look.

Thanks. I will try and get some full side view photos. I must admit that with this body I think in hindsight I should have cut about an inch out of the frame.

Very cool!

Thank you. I have a sister that lives in Surprise. Nice town.

[Old Coyote]

Very nice build ............ superb body work and attention to detail ........... long chassis is perfect B)

As others have already mentioned, Terrific build again. I like the paint and details on this one, also like the long wheelbase frame, it just fits much better than shorter, and of course the handling would be better in 1:1 scale.

Beautiful build again!

[C.C.RACER]

Very nice work and looks like it would be right at home in the mid 60s screaming down track.

Hi Ray,

Awesome work on this!!! Look forward to your new build.

Thanks guys. The new Mustang Gasser build is giving me some minor problems like Miis Deal chassis to wide, to short and so on but it will get built. Should have progress photos in that thread on Sunday sometime.
