Title: Anybody know nything about this car?
Post by: Big Jack on September 04, 2016, 12:20:47 PM

Hi this is my first post and I was just wondering if anybody knows anything about this car. I am looking at shorty dragster bodies and was puzzled about this car.  I realize the rear end is outside the cage which would indicate a altered. The body threw me off.  Does it look like it work as a dragster? Much to my embarrassment set my straight. Thanks..
