its going to be built off of the tamiya semi frame rails since thats what iam use to using on my custom builds. plus the motor i ordered should fit perfect inbetween the rails, if not than i will have to go with the axial chassis kit which is nicer i know and more real, but we will see. just ordered a bunch of items off ebay. this is going to be gas!!!

well iam going to use the lindberg 1/8 exterminator dragster kit for some of the parts. too bad parma didnt make a 57 nomad so i wouldnt have to so far so good needs a lot more trimming and have to cut the roof off the 57 went with the 57 cause i wanna make a flip front end since its a 3 peice body plus the 57 is a nicer body plus i love wagons! rear wheels went together super easy they are a 3 peice design and worked really well.

Looking forward to this build!

i guess their no going back now cut the roof off the 57 now to get the 56 roof to fit

Coworker of mine has a 56 wagon gasser. He'll like this build.

too bad the only thing left of the 56 is the roof u got a pic to send me to check it out

Ill show him your build on Monday and see if he can get you a picture. Right now I think it's still wedged in his two car garage with his '57 and a Chevelle. Not sure how good of a picture he'll get stuffed in there.

lol k thanks

well i cut out the front bumper/grill. going to cut out the rear wheel wells like on my cox gasser toy car.

well i got the spark plug wires and the fuel lines tied in. just waiting on the chassis now to mount all the goodness up

Where did you find that motor at?

using all parts from this kit. got mine for $70 shipped. thinking about building anther gasser since i have a extra motor. just would need to find some wheels/tires. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lindberg-Exterminator-Motorized-Dragster-Complete-Unbuilt-All-parts-sealed-in-/391030299276?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item5b0b38da8c

Right, I remember someone posting those kits here a while ago. Thanks!

i might put a narrower rear end in the car, might save the wider one for my next gasser build a two lane black top kinda car iam thinking and than cut out the rear wheel wells.

Talked to my coworker, here's a picture he found a of his wagon at the strip. Best he could do right now.
