This very detailed drag racing team (displayed at the
Club's 1999 Portland convention) was built from a variety of available
models that Richard modified (except the trailer). A Trident Chevy pickup
and that ubiquitous cast metal Chevy toy pickup with dual tire fenders
provided the basis for the tow vehicle. An extensively detailed Herpa
Camaro [former Monogram Mini-Exacts] with scratchbuilt hood scoop, rear
wing, wheelie-bar, and rear drag slicks comprise the racer. A completely
scratchbuilt 32' trailer with opening side/rear doors and removable
roof that is fully stocked for the races with scratchbuilt and commercial
parts completes the package. Below is a view of the detail inside the
trailer.
