Well I must than Joe - mother for the kit. It looks like it will be a blast to build. There will be some work in it but overall a nice looking kit.

It looks like the same mold as the Army marked "Sarge" dragster I bought several years ago. Nice job.

Based on the tires and the over emphasize detail on the body - all you have to do is switch out the decals and 'shazam' - different Top Fuel.

Still will be fun to build.

When I was a kid I made every Dragster or Funny Car I could get a hold of. They were always great fun! It nice to see that spirit still exists! Can't wait to see it built!

It sucks that Ebay isn't a viable option here, it seems like you can get some good stuff at a reasonable price.

Eddie Hill, the first man to ET under 5 seconds, as far as I can recall.

Very nice review Scott. Looking forward to seeing it build

Thanks Scott.

Nice review Scott, can't wait to see it started. Yeah the kit has pretty much stayed the same the last 15 years with a few little changes.

Jasper, yeah Eddie is the man. That was in 1992 when he ran under 5 sec. a 4.77 with a 9 and in the same year he ran four straight 4.80’s. In 1999 he ran a career best elapsed time of 4.535. Eddie “Holeshot Hill” is full of record firsts.
