The mid 60s to the mid 70s was the greatest time for drag racing and model cars. Both created some of the most awesome cars ever built, for real or just plastic dreams.

That's a pretty cool collection of dragsters from that era @RacerX and you sure got that green paint job lookin' good on that Trantula build. I haven't built a dragster in like......forever. One of these days I'd like to change that......especially after seeing a build this good.

Thank you mustang, the era collection will be growing by two Fiat altereds soon one a late 50s the other a mid 60s version. I will be making that post shortly. I would like to thank you for the complement on the Trantula paint job , but its actually the color the car is molded in. A lot of care was taken during the assembly not to foul the body with glue. The old custom car models were notorious for not having chassis but having clam shell bodies molded in color that were always a lot of working getting the halves to match up properly.

I feel the same way, i find all the cool builds in the community pictures. Most are long done but i still like to comment on the progress. This spring im going to make a drag track section 1x2 meters to display them on, i want to set all of them out for pics one day, think it will fit 50 cars?
