RETRO / NEW AGE DRAGSTER

[gonegonzo]

I'm wanting to build a new rail type dragster that takes on the appearance of a mid 60's slot car dragster . It will be heavy compared to todays standards but the look is "killer" on the nostalgic note .

Of course I'll have aluminum sides with lightening slots and holes and a this lexan skin for the to covering the cockpit and motor area .

I want to keep this look but NOW , I want to put newer , can type motor and either sidewinder or anglewinder drive train in it . It will have to be stout gear wize and a good motor .

has anyone tried this
