I really need to fix the rear wheels on this, and my trailer has camber..

NICE man, im doing a conversion on the same model! I like how you got a trailer with it, lol.

ALso, i suggest you might try to make a hole in the hood for the engine. Dont take my word for it, i screwed a lot of models like that.

Heres a real drag car. It started life as AMT's 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo Lowrider, and evolved into a prostreet monster. This was a llong term project for me, unfortunatley, it lieson my work bench, in pieces, as i planned on rebuilding it. I eneded up braking the frame off...






Brake lines w/ open headers


Wired the battery and engine

From its humble begginnings..




Rear frame from AMT 1966 Nova Prostreet


Disc brakes (yes it used to be yellow)


The almost finished product


Mods:
-Ghetto ass rollcage
-Tubbed rear end w/ leafs, skinnies up front and monster goodyears out back w/ wheeelie bar
-Hood scoop
-454 with high rise intake-Recently changed out for a Winston Cup car with high rise intake with open headers
-Sparco seat with harness
-Mirage paint
-Some other stuff i prolly forgot.

The nsx is a great replica of Adams Satarais(sp) car

I suggest searching for the volvo drag car very nicly done.

For a few basic tip probally needless to say but just in case you havnt thought of yet

for wheelie bars I suggest a funny car kit or places like racinresins etc

for wheel tubs I suggest look around in your cabinets to cut up some plastic salt containers etc

chutes if you so decide funny car as well

CamaroSSboy, what can I say? That dragger is absolutely amazing. Where did you get those gigantic slicks and the front pizza cutters? Did you recycle parts from other kits? Keep up the good work!
