Hey Guys. Thought you might like to see my current work in progress. I had the spare set of frame halves from my double dragster kit. So I fabbed up some cross braces and went to town. I didn’t want to build the streamliner at this time so I looked for an alternative body. I almost wanted to look for a bantam coupe body but my stash is a little light so I searched out on the net and came up with some inspiration. I found a junk build of a amt 29 Model A roadster well the remains of it anyway.   |

I also source the front axle from the 29 Model A.  Seat compliments of Mr. Ed Fluck from Drag City Casting.  Tires are Amt fare, Firestone fronts and Goodyear Blue streak dragway special rears. Front wheels are from a version of Mpc gasser57 Vette. Rear wheels are slotted mags from the Amt/Ertl 32 Vicky.   |

I painted the frame before I added a push bar.  .  Body getting hogged out and test fitted to the frame. Originally I was going with a small block Chevy.  I added hairpins and decided to go with an 8 carbed Hemi.   |

Thank you, Paul. I will. I need primer. Lol. None of my primers are spraying. Also never really thought of a colour.

I have been trying to figure out the class designation. I tried looking up what class this would run in with no understandable results, at least to me. Lol Anyone can tell me what class this would run in would be great! A/A, B/A? I really don’t know. I guess it could even run without the body, would that also be a different class?
