So another day of quarter scale picking...
This one slapped me right in my face, how could I say no...........

Some cleaning up and she should be a jem!

Early pacesetter, 54 solo with silver dollar rear, 1 owner, bought new off tech toys NJ.

Hey Emilio, thanks, the car needs some restoring abit and freshen it up.
Picked it up yesterday, pulled the whole car apart last night, this weekend I will have some before and after pics..If all goes well it will be back together sunday night.. Not sure of racing it at fbf, I wanna keep this one as original as I can.

24 hours 1/4 scale Dragster restore


Here are some progress shots.
Completely torn down, cared for and reassembled, still needs a fresh set of rubber all around.
Front and rear wings are now mounted, new pics to come.




BEFORE SHOTS









AFTER SHOTS

lol it went south..

That will keep me busy!
I enjoy it, although it is only my 3rd or 4th 1/4 scale I have done this too, my first dragster.

I am use to drag racing 5th scales, totally destroying them in the middle of a race and have the car back together before it's time for me to line up gain.

Anyway thanks for the comments guys.

What an awesome find! Great job restoring that baby!!!



Now let's hope we don't see any of this!!

Paul thanks for posting the video, I was looking for that race in-between putting the car back together, but couldn't find it.
This car is not going to do the Eddy flip with me driving it, that's for sure!

lol No worries on that Rob! I have plenty of glue, I will make sure I go over the whole car for ya!

Took some better pics today, car is now complete.

NYCdr,
Two questions....
Do you have a day job and/or a wife.
If the answer is yes to both questions.... what is your secret...

A good job and and a great wife. I have them both myself and I can work in the garage with my projects everyday if I want to. But I don't want to do that everyday as I also want to keep my wife happy so I need to take her needs into consideration also.

Hey Bob, actually I only used up a Saturday morning, the tear down took place Friday night while the family slept.
currently only working a 40 hour week, so this fit in at the right time.
I finished just in time to start the barbecue and that put a smile on every bodies face!!

For the record....My wife is totally anti-quarterscale..lol

Emilio, thanks for the comments on the car, I feel the same way.
