Re: "Mongoose" dragster
got started painting the engine. I was originally going to use the wires/hoses that come with the kit but decided to just make my own.
I weathered the engine block but it doesn't show up in the pics at all. kinda made the paint worn looking from high heat .   |

Re: "Mongoose" dragster
Almost done. The engine looks really good and although I am not a big fan of dragsters, it is interesting to see.
