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..

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....

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.

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...
