Safire6 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Wasn't sure if I should have posted this in the model car section or here because I can't imagine the real thing ever being drag raced. Built mostly box stock except for tripling the thickness of the headstone on the front, making "interior panels" out of .010" styrene and painting them purple and making candles for the headlights. Unfortunately excess glue spoiled the looks of them. Oh well, it was a fun build. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M W Elky Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 There was an episode where grandpa had it at the drag strip. It looks great and I really like the candle headlights nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altered Ego Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Not to sound to much like a dork, but it was Season 1, Episode 36 titled Hor Rod Herman where this car ran at Lions Drag Strip. I love it and am glad you posted it here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
