I have a model of the Don Garlit's rear engine dragster that I never got around to building. Good for the model because like all my other builds I probably would have blown it up with fire crackers.

Here’s a Drawer Find, nice patina I have the parts. I think it’s the orig date coded glass, engine is wrong color, master isn’t black/cad. Hate painted boosters, oh, wrong thread. Lol

That looks like a perfect start to build a model that looks just like my Camaro.
