AMT double dragster?

[mole53]

I am starting the AMT dbl dragster rail kit, single engine, and was wondering if there is a 1:1 equal for the frame. Any info will be helpful

Though not identical, the "Two Thing" used a chassis that's similar in concept to the dropped-center unit in the AMT kit, if that's the one you're using.

The other more typical multi-tube dragster frame in the kit is similar to many vintage dragster frames from various builders. A google image search of "vintage dragster" or "vintage dragster frame" (or chassis) should return plenty of results. Once you find a photo that's a good match for the kit frame, follow the links to more information on exactly what it is and who built it.

It is based on a Dragmaster frame. Just do a search for Jim Nelson or Dragmaster and there will be plenty of information. The Revell Part Pack frame was a Chassis Research frame, another producer of off the shelf dragster frames in the mid century period. MW

You can also look up K-88 Chassis as well.

Top photo says K-88, which looks a lot like the most common DragMaster too.

Lower TE 448 looks a little more like the AMT kit.

Thanks guys. The goggle search was a big help and Bill I only saw one "chassis" (wink, wink) in that ad!
