1:6 model dragster

[Geri]

I built this from scratch -using the GMP diecast Hemi that is 1:6 scale-.the chassis is .1/4" and 3/16" steel brake tubing. formed the body from alum, wheels were from a radio control model that needed a spacer to mate the tires to them.
the chassis is made to replicate (kinda) the Jim Davis dragster of 1965 that was 150" wheelbase..as a model is is some 30" long.
it was also made to replicate my 1965 Jim Davis AA/FD nitro therapy

itro therapy.

Thats friggin awesome! Love the scale, enough to craft some serious detail. I think the slicks really cap it off. I bet the front tires were the hardest to aquire? I built a large scale General Lee car model and loved the fact that it came with a little roll of black tubing for the fuel lines and spark plug cables.

That's super cool. A lot of work to build. Especially completely scratch built from raw materials. The 30" long probably made for great detail too. Plus it's a replica of the real car. Definitely something to be proud of.
