In Response To: Been building the 2010 AMT Double Dragster kit in the tin, finished Walts Puffer Fiat & decided to do a side by side twin early rail with dual rear tyres & use the "Streamliner" body panels....anyone ever done it this way?.......the S/L front bits are for the thinner single ()

  - Not too many people really think about it, but that kit is an engineering masterpiece, so many interchangeable parts and possible building versions *NM*
  - Marty, nice to see someone else built it this way back in the day, I've trimmed the S/L nose to fit & modified the rear body to be more 1:1ish, now just trying to work out the parachute/s & what size chutes......due to the rear body shape it really needs 2 chutes but the
