Dyno Davo Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Hi guys, started on my next drag project. Plan is to build a 140" mid sixties style dragster. Kellison frame, 392 with the Tampa dump stance and chute pack body work. Got started on the chassis and some of the components. The seat has been made from aluminum sheet and upholstered in diamond trim, seat belts are ProTech. I'll post more pics next week.
W-409 Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 This is starting to shape up very nicely! Your builds are always fantastic to see, I can't wait for more. So far the work with that frame and rear axle looks cool.
Dyno Davo Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 Sorry guys, found a few more pics of build so far. This is Competition Resin's Tommy Ivo chute pack all cut into sections so I could achieve the below
Pro Tech Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Oh Yeah, those early diggers! Nice work Dave look forward to more. Charlie Pro Tech
vintagedragfan Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 glad to see you posted this Dave, your builds are awesome, looking forward to it!
Bernard Kron Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Beautiful work. What's the basis for the front half of the bodywork? The combination works out really nicely - very sleek lines. The chassis, I assume, is all styrene. What diameter rod did you use (.080"?). It scales to the eye perfectly.
MicroNitro Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 That is killer!! I am defiantly following this one.
Mooneyzs Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 David....This build is looking great so far and is going to be really nice when done. I can't wait to see more. Everything is looking Killer. Is this a 1/16th or 1/25th scale build?? I will be following for sure.
southpier Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) is this 1/25 scale, or bigger? Edited October 20, 2012 by southpier
MachinistMark Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Looks good! But pardon my ignorance, but what is the Tampa dump stance?
gasser59 Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Now this is cool. Great work so far Dave and am waiting to see more. Luv these early rails.

Dyno Davo Posted October 20, 2012 Author Posted October 20, 2012 Looks good! But pardon my ignorance, but what is the Tampa dump stance? Hi mark, i believe its the term used to describe the forward tilt on the motor, normally between 3 to 8 degrees. Cheers dave
tim boyd Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Wow! Can't wait to see this progress....brilliant idea on the parachute body....TIM

Hi Bernard, plans are not to have any front body work, it's just a personal choice thing. For the styrene I used on the chassis here are the details remembering this model is in 1/16 scale Roll bar tubing was 213 Evergreen rod Main chassis tubing was 212 Evergreen rod Chassis minor tubing was 222 Evergreen rod Hope this helps is this 1/25 scale, or bigger? Hi Joe, this is 1/16 scale
Dyno Davo Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 Wow! Can't wait to see this progress....brilliant idea on the parachute body....TIM Thanks Tim, its an honor to find you looking in on my build, read your articles all the time.
