That is excellent! Some of the photos look so real, I had to do a double and triple take! If you bring it to a show, you should hand out earplugs and tell people you will fire it up soon. They'll believe you...WOW!!!

Like how you put Don's face in the helmet! Now then. I HAVE to ask, is this 1/25th or 1/16? I can't tell... And about those front wheels... Where or how? I'm in awe. Fantastic. Just fantastic!

Mykturk.......the model is 1/16 scale........I cut Dons face off the 1/16 scale Revell box and stuck it into the helmet.....thank`s for asking.

Markus........I live in the earthquake state and one earthquake knocked over a diecast GMP Hawaiian dragster that I had and it got damaged.........but, the front wheels were ok......so when I built this model I wanted to use those front wheels because....... as we all know the Revell 1/16 front wheels on a dragster kit look funky.......I think these wheels look a whole lot better......thank`s

That's one hell of a build. Lot's and lot's of detail only ahcieved in larger scale, it really is an amazing piece of work.
Did you ever notice when you look at the name at an angle on Don's cars it sometimes looks like "Dong Arlits"? ;D
