This is the second "Never Was" model in my tribute series to the 1/8th scale Monogram models of the 60's .
Creating the faux box art was part of the fun !
The Little Drag was created using parts from a Little T and a Boomer Bucket . The tires are Monogram , the rear wheels are from a Li'l Coffin and the front wheels were made by adding trim rings on top of '49 Merc wheels to make the deep steelies .
The Chevrolet Script valve covers , headers , blower , scoop , Moon tank , tach and gas pedal came from various kits . The hand brake , shifter , and steering wheel were all scratch built . The roll bar and push bars were formed from polished aluminum rod and I made my own decals using the Big Drag decals as a guide .
The finished chassis and everything awaiting final assembly .
A few more .
Up next the "Little Tub" .
