1/24 Lindberg "4-Banger Dragster"
Originally built by none other than Bill Wessels in the early 90's, this car is a great example of his great attention to detail & unique-ness.
I was attending a model show as a helper with Bill at the time & he brought this out to sell. I had to have it.
Below, you can see he actually used the belly pan and made it all work.
Wheels are a combination of front K&B dragster & Classic viper rears. Rear chrome knockoffs are #22 AYK Aoyagi Metals brand of Tokyo, Japan.
He picked out a Dynamic chassis & Champion 16d motor setup that looks like it was made to fit the Lindberg static model as if it were a factory build.
Over the years, I have tinkered with the car & added decals, a body post to the top half of the body & different wires & braid to cure an electrical contact issue. Once in awhile, I'll get it into our drag racing program to blow out the cobwebs. The car runs consistently well.
Built in the late 80's, the tuned tinker barely fits over the AT-206 Atlas setup.
Wheels/tires are Auto World turned fronts & sponge rears.
The driver is a combination of a Strombecker torso & legs of unknown origin. Arms are from a Ulrich driver kit.
Drive line is the Atlas AT-206 motor/scratchbuilt ChromOllie frame setup.
Body is the Dubro '32 Ford with the roof removed. Driver is a Gil Field mold & wheel covers and dashboard are from the spare parts bin.
Again, running gear is the Atlas AT-206 but, on this one a K&B dropped front axle was used with a guide tongue soldered in.
Body is the Dubro '32 Ford coupe. Auto World sponge rears were picked for this & the previous car.
