progplastic Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) This front engine digger is being built from about 80% of the parts I got from the guys I traded with on this site.. I got a little carried away building this thing before I started snapping some pics of it to post. I'm going for a fictional, low buck, back yard build back in the day when these were king. I still have a long way to go. It doesn't compete with some of the other insanely machined dragsters on here, but I think she'll hold her own in the quarter mile.. thanks for looking..

DrKerry Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Looks very nice, and it's even kooler that it's being pieced together from parts!!!! Awesome build!!!
outragis Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) Wow, super nice, Now all you need is some nice spoke front rims! Edited May 19, 2013 by outragis
DrKerry Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Wow, super nice, Now all you need is some nice spoke front rims! Jim made the same comment to me, I told him to get a set of photoetched but I cannot remember who makes them....
John Pol Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Herb Deeks makes them I think I spell his name right. John Pol
progplastic Posted May 20, 2013 Author Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks for the kind words guys. I have had this rail in my head for about 10 years. I may have a lead on some wire wheels for this thing. I'll check out that Herb Deeks and see what he has too, thanks John. Thanks again for looking.
pandamonium2112 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I'm a low budget builder also. Not that I wouldn't love to just throw a bunch of money at a model, but I enjoy making a component from scratch. This is what modeling is about, I do it too. start building and forget to take pics. Just enjoy the hobby....this build looks awesome so far...
