Built this from a parts pak frame and a parts pak Ford 427. Most of the parts came from the Tony Nancy double dragster kit

and the others from my parts boxes. The body was airbrushed with Tamiya TS-58 light pearl blue and the stripes and frame are

TS-53 deep dark blue metallic. Thanks for looking! Sharp

Really kool look and I especially love that paint scheme. So is that a Revell parts pack frame, or an AMT one? For some reason I cannot see the Revell one there and almost see the AMT Double Dragster frame. If they are Revell, are they the Gofer repops?

Turned out super, I like the stubby look and it looks like you put just the right amount of detail in there to make it interesting without being overbearing.

Inspirational for me.

Thanks jb, yes its the Gofer repop. It didn't come with the floor pan or the back body panel I had to make those.

TS-58 is my favorite Tamiya color, My best friend Tim Pentecost used to use a lot of it, in his memory I refer to it as "Tim Blue" Love your work! Jim
