Newbie John here.... aka JFFJ, with my contribution.
Had a couple SnapDraggins, and dug 'em, but gave them to a young fella newbie modeler.
Liked the style, and similar imagineering to the WeirdOhs, and got one of the Lindberg 1/32 '49 Shoebox kits a few years ago, hoping to do it up kinda like a SnapWeirdohDragginer.... 😂
Finally went for it, using the Lindy shoebox body, frame, and grill, bumpers, and my #11 and heat. Also used the guitar player from one of the Frantics kits, although he wasn't real pleased about his makeover.
Other than the 1/32 airplane bomb, everything else is scratchbuilt. Started by building up, boxing the slicks and just went from there. Bell housing and tranny tail end are an eyedropper bottle cap.
Chrome is silver Rub N Buff paste over gloss black. Flames are large Qtips, from a farm supply place, the head stuck up in the zoomies, then the cotton pulled and colored into shape using an artist's fan brush dipped in ground pastel dusts.
Photoshop-ed the name on the picture. The base is a piece of 1" rigid foam insulation.
Love doing this stuff. Thanks for checking it out.
