Here's a kit I completed awhile back. Found a bunch of these kits when Big Lots used to have some kits for the huge sum of $.99 cents each. I bought two, but I should have picked up the other 20 or so they had. How often do we find them for a dollar anymore?
I built it mostly out of the box. I did, however, make the exhaust headers out of some solid aluminum rod turned on my lathe to hollow them out on the ends and bent them into shape and added some bare metal foil to the front wheels so they would more closely match the wheels seen on the actual dragster. I also added the dual plug wires to each cylinder/magneto and some braided steel hoses. So I guess not 100% "outta the box", huh?
As always, I welcome ANY feedback and I hope you enjoy this.
