Another day, another amazing build in-progress. I've been meaning to write a little about this one for a while, and I finally got round to emailing my good friend Joe about it tonight. Happily he agreed to let me feature it here, so here it is!
Based on a Jawbreaker frame (albeit shortened 25 scale inches) Joe's dragster is truly one of a kind, and is certainly the most distinctive build I've seen for a while. Joe's a prolific resin caster who makes all kinds of cool bits for his build, and this one's no exception. The blower up top of a that flattie 6 is resin, as are the mainfolds and cool pie-crust tyres out back.
That distinctive body is from a Tall T (ironic huh?) which was sectioned 6 scale inches roughly to fit the frame. The driver actually hangs out the BACK of the body, and presumably sees either through the little slitty windscreen up front (but only just!) or over the roof.
There's nothing quite like an old-school looking dragster - where experimenting was still part of the game and anything was possible with about any part you had lying around. And to any good hot rodder will tell you, being different is what it's all about.
I can highly recommend checking out the rest of the pics of Joe's build here. Be inspired people...
