Looking good Paul, really looking forward to seeing you bang this one out. I am waiting so see with the decals. You will kill this build.

Re: '55 Chevy Pro Sportsman Dragster
progress so far..........plumbed in the NOS bottles, wired up the engine but it dosnt show too well, wished id used red instead of black wire but too late now
this aint the greatest kit, lots of bits are slightly warped, i think the roll cage might take a bit of persuasion to fit

Re: '55 Chevy Pro Sportsman Dragster
I love it Paul, great stuff man. We need a close up of that engine for sure once you get it all buttoned up. Those big ass Dominator carbs look really great, did you paint the ventures? Fantastic work on the NOS set up.

I gather everything is white including the trunk? The NOS bottles and set up looks great, everything does in fat. Keep it up Paul!

Re: '55 Chevy Pro Sportsman Dragster
This is something of a departure for you Paul but it's looking real sweet. Nice one.

ive always liked dragsters......not dragracing, just the vehicles, i can appreciate the engineering that goes into them and ive been wanting to do a funny car style one to go next to that Top Fuel rail i did last year, and since that was body off, i want to do this one the same.............mind you im not sure the body would fit!!....theres quite a bit of warpage on this one

Re: '55 Chevy Pro Sportsman Dragster
i made a 5 point seat belt from some 3mm ribbon
the roll cage is a pain in the posterior .....the instructions are a bit poor so i can only liken it to doing a 3d jigsaw when you have lost the box lid!

Re: '55 Chevy Pro Sportsman Dragster
Looks good, I like the blck/white combo. I have built several of these over the years and yes, the roll cage is about the hardest part of the kit to get right. I always used a fast setting 2 part expoy to put mine together, once bonded they stay together well.

No need to lose your lid Paul. It all looks the part and cleanly done too.
