Stinger - Rear Engine Rail Dragster

Deadly as a scorpion, this wild rail dragster puts the sting on the competition.

Feast your orbs on this long, low, sleek quarter-miler with a finned spoiler in front and another riding high in the rear...solid-disc acing wheels in the front and mag wheels with giant "wrinkled" slicks in the rear.

But what's this?

Look at that muscle-packed blown Hemi Elephant engine sitting in the pleated 'T' bucket interior where the driver should be.

It's gotta be the most unconventional rear engine dragster ever to hit the asphalt!

Driver's cockpit is covered by clear, aircraft-style canopy.

Body section lifts off to show the detailed custom chassis.

Tom Daniel re-did the "Trick - T" again in 1975 without the drag chutes and called it the Stinger.

This is my boxstock version with another kolor and some engine mods.

Hope, you enjoy...

Thank you very much for the kind words!

Very nice build. Please tell me about the paint and the driver.

The kolor is a homemade light blue, over a silver base, with a pearl clear finish...

The driver figure is initially painted matt black, then I have this dry brushed with silver, a few finer points on the seat belts and the helmet, that's it ...

Another odd rod....Great work!
