Gary Ormsby Castrol Top Fuel Dragster Build

[jlucky]

Thought I’d show this build from a few years back. It’s part of my history of dragster and features Gary Ormsby’s Championship winning Top Fuel dragster. This car is #38 of 41 built dragsters. Revell did a really good job replicating the cars and all I had to do was add some details which include: fuel lines, mag wiring, computer lines, blower-restraint belts and a bunch of photo-etch parts for linkages and starter holder. Any and all feedback is always appreciated. Cheers

Love it, very nice build. Great work.  I love the subject, been wanting to get one of those dragsters and try to replicate Snake's Skoal ride.

Fantastic details on this one

Jerry, you said this is #38 in a 41 build series?  How 'bout getting a thread going on the whole series?  Maybe post one or two a week?  This is an awesome idea and an awesome build!  Great work!

I saw this actual car about 36 years ago; the detail is spot - on. Nicely done!

Very nice, and very clean build. Drag racing is amazing and top fuel dragsters are unbelievable.

Hey guys...thanks for the comments. I too saw this car in competition at Seattle's NHRA race. It brings back a lot of memories for me too. As for a series ...I am planning to post more of the dragsters from my collection on a regular basis...so yes you will be seeing more regular posts from me. Not sure why I didn't do it sooner. Although not every one of them has this level of detail. All the best!
