I purchased this cool vintage dragster project from a seller in Missouri. Very nice workmanship on the chassis. The dragster uses Ram 850 motor parts. The alloy side rails are highly polished and are very stiff when flexed. The scratches and nicks in the side rails are dark grey.
The dragster was completed with the following additions. Rear set screw wheels replaced the out-of-round threaded wheels. The new tires are trued Germans. Ball bearing dragster front wheels replaced the threaded road race wheels. A new drop arm, Russkit guide, lead wires, and motor brush spring assembly replaced the damaged parts. I constructed the body out of aluminum, and the rear body panel behind the driver was made of tin. A JDS nostalgia interior was added.
New drop arm assembly. Styrene drop arm up stop. Four brass tabs hold the body on.
Unknown brand of rear set screw wheels with German tires added. Weldun gears. Cool gear guard.
Aluminum axle holder slides for gear mesh adjustments. Trued commutator and epoxied armature.
Body is made out of aluminum. Cockpit kick up is formed around a penny.
There's a ton of fabrication hours in that car.
