While not a huge drag fan.....have dabbled with a few over time.....bought the AMT double dragster kit, back in 1972, the one with Fiat, that was reissued a few years ago, After building the Fiat version, tried turning it into a modifed, not happy with the results and tossed by the mid '70's, the rail was built with the streamlined body, but it didn't survive one of the purges that really started Dec 1980.....The other was the Monogram '57 Chevy funny car(?). that one is still around, though the decals have cracked over time (Most likely when stored in a non-climate controlled storage unit in ABQ Jul-Dec 2005). One reason for buying that one.....slogan somewhere on the box art and decal sheet, "We try harder"....slogan for the rental car company I worked for...(for 28+ years)
Do have one of the recent reissues of the AMT double drag kit.....Know I started on the rail frame, and, maybe even the Fiat frame.....also have the recent re-issue of the "Cop Out" funny car....also started.....this one was started in my little studio apartment in ABQ......
