Steve_L Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 These are pictures of my Slingster Dragster project. When it was released, the Monogram Slingster Dragster was well received. When I bought my kit, I was pleased with the many build options available. Of course, I decided to "do my own thing" and build it as a show car, similar to what might be seen at World of Wheels shows. I chose the supercharged Chrysler engine and the streamliner body configuration. I partially assembled the kit and sent it off to ChromeTech USA to add some bling. They chromed the chassis, engine and accessories, drive train and the wheels. For a smoother appearance, I glued the three bottom body panels together and smoothed the seams. I decided to leave the top body panels loose for display purposes. I added detail with a distributor, ignition wires and coil. I also added a fuel system, photo etch accelerator pedal linkage and a tachometer on the steering column. I painted it with Duplicolor paints (primer, Ford Sonic Blue color and clear.) It was a fun project with a well designed kit. Enjoy!
TFchronos Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Awesome, lots of chrome. Just the way I like them. Great work!
Bernard Kron Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 It continues to delight me how inventive builders are in approaching this kit in such completely different ways. This is essentially an out-of-the-box build but with superbly crisp detailing and the whole-chassis chroming approach. It looks like a show-piece Monogram would/should have done for trade display. Exceptional and a feast for the eyes! Big thumbzup!
Maxicoop Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 that is an AWESOME build ......looks like it belongs in a car show with all that chrome ....fantastic build !!!
D. Battista Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Is there such a thing as... too much chrome..? I think NOT...!! Very cool build....Nice Job...!!
Daddyfink Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Wow! Reminds of the Glass Slipper and other vintage Drag/Show cars! They looked good and went fast! Very nice job!
bobthehobbyguy Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Love the idea of chroming the chassis. Very nice.
